We celebrated our wedding at The Bedford back in July 2025, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first planning meeting to the final dance, the team demonstrated an incredible level of professionalism, warmth, and a true can‑do attitude that made our day unforgettable.

The venue itself is stunning—full of character, charm, and atmosphere—but what truly set the experience apart was the staff. Every detail was handled seamlessly, and nothing was ever too much trouble. They anticipated our needs, supported our vision, and created a celebration that felt both personal and effortless.

As a gay couple, we felt completely embraced and celebrated. The Bedford’s team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was not only flawless but also joyful, inclusive, and deeply memorable. Our guests were blown away by the service, the food, and the energy of the day.

We will forever treasure the memories made here, and we cannot recommend The Bedford highly enough for anyone looking for a venue that combines style, heart, and impeccable service.

We could not recommend The Bedford more as an evening wedding venue and honeymoon suite stay! From start the finish they were reliable, professional and exceeded all of our expectations. We got in touch with them pretty last minute as we needed an evening venue for our wedding (from 8pm onwards), and we were so relieved by Anne's quick responses and the incredible Ballroom upstairs. It was just what we needed for our 120 guests to dance to a live band, and help themselves to pizza (which was absolutely delicious!) There was plenty of space for everyone, and the team at The Bedford had put so much thought into table layout / decorations. There was also aircon (essential during a heatwave) and disco lighting already set up. We were amazed by how much pizza kept coming out - we didn't need to be worried about people having enough evening food at all. And it was all organised so seamlessly, with Anne and the team on hand throughout.
It was such a bonus to know we could also stay at The Bedford - it was dreamy not having to get a taxi anywhere! They gave us early access to our room which logistically helped out a lot, and it meant we could store a lot of wedding stuff there. The bath in the room was so fun and we had the best stay.
Overall, this is a fantastic London wedding venue - it's incredible value for money and so reassuring working with a venue that clearly know what they're doing and are wedding experts! Big thank you to The Bedford for making our 'boogie in the ballroom' dreams come true!

We got married at the Bedford in May '26 and it was a wonderful day.

Anne and the team made it really easy for us and were extremely flexible. The food was great, and everyone had a fantastic time - the space is great for a party!

Also, comparing this venue to others in London, the value is night and day - meaning you can put more money where it matters for guests.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this venue to anyone who wants a great party, with great food and drink, supported by a fantastic team (so there isn't any stress!).

We hired this venue for our wedding, including our welcome meal the night before, the morning preparations, the ceremony, wedding breakfast, and evening reception. Honestly, it was the most incredible venue, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice.

The upstairs space was absolutely perfect for getting ready on the morning of the wedding. It was so versatile, with plenty of different areas to use. We had the bridal party upstairs and the groomsmen downstairs, which worked perfectly. The rooms are bright, airy, and spacious, so no one ever felt cramped, and there were so many beautiful spots for photos.

Our ceremony took place in the stunning ballroom, which looked absolutely beautiful. Anne and the team set everything up exactly as we had requested. They also transformed the room and set up all of the tables for the wedding breakfast that morning, meaning we could enjoy a completely relaxed, stress-free morning without worrying about any of the logistics. They even coordinated everything, including the music, seamlessly.

The food was incredible. We had a tasting a few months before the wedding, and the team worked with us to create a menu that suited both our budget and what we wanted. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they were always happy to accommodate our requests.

The evening reception was just as amazing. The team worked with our DJ to make sure everything was set up and ready to go, and the ballroom created such an incredible atmosphere for the party.

Overall, 10/10. Anne and every member of the team, both in the lead-up to the wedding and on the day itself, were unbelievably attentive. They kept me updated throughout the planning process, were always happy to answer questions, and made everything run so smoothly on the day. We didn't have to ask our wedding party to help with anything because the team had everything completely under control.

We genuinely couldn't recommend this venue highly enough to any couple looking for a wedding venue in London. It exceeded all of our expectations and gave us the most perfect day. Thank you to Anne and the entire team for making our wedding so special.

We had the most fabulous time at The Bedford after our registry wedding. Anne was amazing at helping us plan the day, and her and The Bedford team were incredibly helpful on the day. It was great to find a pub that had such a versatile and accessible space, with amazing food and service.

We are so so glad we chose the Bedford for our wedding! From the start, it was so easy and stress free, as Anne, our coordinator, was so organised and responsive. None of our requests were too much so the day felt really personal and special to us. We had our ceremony in the gorgeous club room which was really cool. Then moved up to the ballroom and cocktail bar for our amazing dinner and cocktails and dancing. We loved that we could party till 2am. The food was delicious and all our guests were raving about both the quality and quantity. We also loved that there was no venue hire cost, it was just based on minimum spend which we hit easily through the dinner and drinks. Also the three rooms we were in were already so beautiful that we really didn't have to decorate them a lot at all so all in all it felt like a very cost effective wedding. All through the day, Anne and the staff were so friendly and organised and kept the day going so smoothly so we could just focus on having fun! We're so grateful to them and we would highly reccommend the Bedford as a wedding venue to anyone!

We decided very early on that we’d be having a lower key London wedding and booked the Bedford within a few weeks.

Becky looked after us from booking to the actual day and is so passionate and comes with some many ideas (a lot of them we hadn’t thought about). She was incredibly responsive but also kept things so simple and stress free.

The food was excellent and the portions were like you’d get in the pub downstairs! They were super flexible with the wine/drinks budget, replacing red with rosé. The staff serving were excellent and everyone felt so looked after. My parents were so impressed that they took the time to email head office to thank them and sing the praises of the staff!

The pub and the rooms upstairs are a great backdrop for photos too!

Becky understood really early on what we wanted from the day and made it happen. Would definitely recommend to a friend and we’ll be back for future events!

The team at The Bedford gave us the most amazing day - we cannot thank them enough.

We knew we wanted a London pub wedding but we also knew we needed somewhere big enough to house a big number. The Bedford was the perfect place for this.

From our first planning meeting, we felt safe in the hands of Ethan, Becky, Nora and the team. They were so organised and knowledgeable, whilst also making everything feel straightforward. Nothing was ever a problem and they guided us through all the decisions and details with ease, making the planning process much more relaxed than we imagined it would be.

The day itself was wonderful. Ethan and his team made sure everything ran super smoothly - it wasn’t the slightest bit stressful for us or our closest friends and family who were supporting us on the day.

We chose a family style buffet for the food and everybody loved it. They also loved that we had access to so many different spaces throughout the day. Everyone particularly loved the theatrical feel of the Club Room, where we had our ceremony.

We used The Bedford’s recommended suppliers for photos, flowers and music - all of which were wonderful.

Thanks to this fantastic venue and team, we truly had the best day of our lives.

The Bedford is a pub close to our hearts and the team there pulled out all the stops to make our day exactly how we wanted. The food was delicious, drinks were flowing and the venue itself looked beautiful. All our family stayed in the rooms on site and we enjoyed a debrief breakfast the next morning letting us relieve it again. Thank you to all the team!

After another venue was constantly letting us down, we went to the Bedford in June in a panic. We were unsure if they could help us on such short notice and, not only did they did, they absolutely blew us away! Imagine sensational pie & mash for the wedding breakfast, a wonderful team who went above and beyond on everything, and the perfect cosy vibe for an incredible reception.

I can't thank them enough for everything they did for us - they really made us feel special and well looked after. I had to be dragged to bed at the end of the night because all I wanted to do was drunkenly hug them and say thank you.

CANNOT. RECOMMEND. ENOUGH.

Becky and her team were truly the Avengers of the wedding world. Even though we had been planning for a year, on the big day I couldn’t think of anything — but Becky and her team handled everything from start to finish, guiding, supporting, and taking care of every detail. They constantly kept me updated and reassured me, even when I wasn’t around, making sure everything was running smoothly and that our guests were enjoying themselves. From the ceremony to the evening party, everything was perfectly organized, allowing me to simply enjoy every moment without any stress. The setup was even more beautiful than I had imagined. All of our guests also couldn’t stop complimenting how amazing the food was. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Becky and her amazing team. I’m incredibly grateful to them for making our day so perfect.

We hosted out wedding reception at The Bedford, staying there the night before and night of, which was a fantastic addition for us and the bridal party!

We were set up in the saloon bar the night before for welcome drinks/dinner which was a fantastic touch – if was great to have a private space to catch up with everyone as they arrived into London! The bar staff were absolutely brilliant and very accommodating (as they were throughout the remainder of the weekend!).

After a hectic morning before jumping in a cab to our wedding ceremony, I was a little worried that it had set the tone for the rest of the day but I really hadn’t of worried as Becky, our inhouse event coordinator, and team, absolutely smashed it out of the park! I felt at ease as soon we stepped back into The Bedford knowing that our wedding was in safe and professional hands.

The wedding breakfast set up was absolutely incredible! Being a DIY bride with control freak tendencies, I was nervous to hand over the reins but WOW!! We were truly blown away when we entered the room, The Bedford did a spectacular job and really brought our vision to life!

We always knew that The Bedford was the right venue for us but nothing had prepared us for how much we would love it! The set up (and tidy up), the organising of suppliers, the food!! Everything was spot on and we couldn’t have asked for more!! The day ran like clockwork which meant we could be present with our guests, let our hair down and really enjoy the day. We were told to remember that we were not the hosts of the wedding but instead the guests of honour and that’s exactly how we felt all day thanks to The Bedford teams hard work!!

Becky was our wedding coordinator extraordinaire and we couldn’t have done it without her and her brilliant team!! It really was the best day ever!!!

Honestly, the value for money in this stunning pub is amazing. The rooms were beautiful and super handy if you've got any guests travelling. Plus, it's licenced, so you can have the whole night before, morning, ceremony, breakfast, reception and night under one (beautiful) roof.

The staff were so brilliant and really help you tailor the day how you like, so it's super flexible. The food was excellent (unlike some other, more supposedly 'fancy' weddings I've attended before) and everything was very seamless.

We had multiple meeting, tastings, email exchanges in the run up so I felt very prepared and looked after.

Genuinely, if you're looking for a London wedding with great transport links, lovely atmosphere, good food and drinks, and a great staff it's a winner.

We were so happy when we came across The Bedford as it ticked all of our boxes - we had been looking for a venue in South London which we could afford, which would be willing to host us on New Year's Eve, and which would be big enough for us to have 100 guests for sit-down dinner and a ceilidh. The Bedford was reasonably priced for the quality of service they offered, compared to most other places we viewed.

We also found that the staff there were very friendly, professional and responsive, and showed a great of flexibility - they were always willing to go the extra mile to help us make the logistics a bit easier.

All of this would have been enough to make it an ideal venue for us, but on top of everything else, the building has a lovely atmosphere, with very little decoration required on our part to make it feel festive and welcoming, and they served excellent food - all our guests have been telling us since the wedding how much they loved it!

All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our wedding - everything was top notch, from the convenience of the location, to the atmosphere and size of the ballroom/ cocktail bar, and the quality of the service and the food. We would highly recommend it to other couples!

The Bedford team are fantastic, I feel like our wedding was expertly planned. None of my weird and wonderful ideas I threw at Nora was too much and trust me, I had quite a few. The day itself was perfect. The only hitch we had was the Makeup artist was late which set us back, However Ethan took it in his stride I managed to get us back on track. Everything else about the day went off without a hitch due to thorough planning and incredibly hard-working staff. The building itself is beautiful, The rooms have character and quirks. It has this bougie vibe with history in its walls. The food is incredible, Home-cooked and proper portions. We set our tables in a banquet style and had Sharing food boards for each table. It felt so grand, but yet intimate.
I can’t thank the Bedford team enough for everything they done before and during our wedding.
