Thank you so much for everything in the run-up to the day. We were so happy to have chosen RSA house and our guests all absolutely loved it. Special mention to the chef - we had a lot of comments on the food, including lots of happy Vegans!
The most fabulous and memorable day.

We had the most wonderful day, it was everything we wanted. Thank you to you and all the team at RSA who were there on the day and in the run-up. Everything went incredibly smoothly and so many people commented on how lovely the food was!
A Day to Remember

Being quite gothis in nature, my husband and I wanted to marry in a candlelit vault, which is what initially drew us to the RSA. What an incredibly lucky thing too!
From the planning to the delivery on the day the venue staff were amazing. Every detail was looked after, and we had a very enjoyable and stressfree day.
Alongside the impeccable service, the facilities offered by the venue and the quality of the food and drink were outstanding. So many of our guests commented on how wonderful the meal was and how beautiful the venue was.
We feel very privileged to have married here, and can't recommend it highly enough to others.

Better than we could have hoped for

We had the most amazing wedding in the vaults at RSA house in January. The vaults are perfect for an atmospheric, candle lit winter wedding.
From the outset Elise at RSA was amazing - nothing was ever too much trouble and we loved how RSA were so flexible in terms of how we used the space. For example we really wanted lots of candles and this as not a problem, whereas at other venues it would have been.
We had our wedding breakfast in the vaults too and our guests commented on how lovely it was to have one long table where they could all see each other. Our guests also commented on how delicious the food was!
The location is incredible - so central but also ideally tucked away from the busy Strand. We took advantage of the location and had lots of photos on the Strand!
I couldn't recommend RSA highly enough and Elise went above and beyond throughout the build up to our wedding and on the day itself.
Although I visited the venue many times before the day, it was better than I could've ever hoped on the day. I wouldn't consider another London wedding venue.
Totally Awesome

What can we say about the RSA? We would thoroughly recommend the RSA as a wedding venue. The whole team made everything so easy - the day ran so smoothly and it's due to the professionalism of the entire team, from our wedding planner Elise to all the staff serving drinks and food!! All our guests commented on how wonderful the venue was - we had pre-dinner drinks in the Vaults, dinner in the Benjamin Franklin Room, and moved back downstairs to party all night. The food was delicious, and the bar was extremely well stocked! Even though we married on a Wednesday (12-12-12) it really felt like we were the only ones in the building! Downsides? None that we can think of (apart from the whole day going so quickly - testament to the organisation!) - Thanks to the whole team - totally awesome!!
Perfect venue

We would thoroughly recommend the RSA as a wedding venue. The Events Manager and team were superb with regards to the planning and organisation of our day and made it all very easy. The day ran like clockwork and everyone had a fantastic time. Many of our guests commented on the excellent quality of the food and said how much they loved the venue. We had the whole place to ourselves so made use of several rooms. Our ceremony was held in the Benjamin Franklin Room, the wedding breakfast in The Great Room and the evening reception down in the Vaults. The only downside was that the day flew by so quickly!
Just fantastic

Every aspect of the venue and the staff we dealt with, in particular our wedding events manager was better than we expected and just fantastic. The venue itself made an enormous impact on each and every one of our guests and the friendliness of staff and the quality of the catering helped make the day perfect day!
Beautiful venue and excellent staff

By Katherine and Martin, on 11 Apr 2011
We were married at the RSA in February and the whole day was perfect. The staff were excellent, particularly Janine who made sure everything ran smoothly. The ability to have a mix of traditional and contemporary rooms is great and makes for more interesting photos. You also have the whole House to yourself for the day...we looked at some wedding venues where a number of weddings are held on the same day. The food was fantastic and all of the suppliers we used were excellent and very professional. We would recommend the RSA to anyone wanting to get married in central London.
Our Perfect Day

Re: Saturday 19th March 2011
Thank you - Thank you - Thank you!!
What can we say - everything looked and worked in a fantastic way throughout the entire day - from the upper floors in The Adelphi & Romney Rooms to The Benjamin Franklin Room for the meal - then right down into the bowels of the building in The Vaults. It really was a magical occasion - especially for us - but everyone commented on it too!
Janine - especially you!! - but everyone at The Royal Society of Arts - who contributed in their differing ways - who obviously made it all look effortless - but we know that all these things take time and design combined with skill and precision - and we very much appreciated what you all put into our special day. The standard of the service - with such a discrete approach - all very friendly yet maintaining professionalism was very much appreciated by all our friends throughout! A very special day for us indeed - we can assure you.
Please thank everyone who contributed on the day - it really made our day perfect.
Yours with many, many thanks -
Izzi Romanov & Ian May
Incredible!

We had our wedding in August 2010. The day was perfect. The team were great - nothing was too much trouble, and they were super efficient. The day went like a well oiled machine, with all issues totally taken off our hands - we weren't troubled once, leaving us free to enjoy eachother and our nearest and dearest. From the first day of our enquiry, they bent over backwards to help us, and alleviated all the stress of the planning process. I can't rate it highly enough. Amazing.
Fabulous place for a unique city wedding
Venue Service
By Kelly Kilpatrick, on 10 Aug 2010
We had such an amazing day – couldn’t have been more perfect. Like many people who have left reviews we were married in the vaults with the wedding breakfast in the Benjamin Franklin room and both settings were brilliant. My husband and I aren’t ones for a country house hotel wedding, we wanted something that represented the city we live in and our guests were amazed by the venue. We even had our photos standing on the central reservation on The Strand – which you should definitely do if you get the chance, so much fun. Amanda over saw the running of the day and she was excellent. Food was delicious and the service – the best we’ve ever had. Thanks RSA
