Where do I start, the venue itself is such a hidden gem, I was in awe when I saw it in person and I knew right away it would work for me. You can easily add your tough to the venue as the staff are super flexible and open to ideas. They worked with me throughout my 6 months of planning, listening to my ideas and giving suggestions to make everything more seamless. Big shoutout to Sophie and Lucy who went above and beyond.
For anyone considering this venue I say go for it!! It's got stunning views and in central London, can't get better than this!!

I’ve known About the Columbia hotel From back in the day when it was frequented by musicians. It had a real 1970s shabby chic vibe and decor complete with avocado bathroom.
When it was being refurbished a few years ago, I had the pleasure of being given a guided tour. I loved that it still maintain that similar vibe but of course updated, So when my daughter Hollie & her fiancé Luke were looking for a wedding venue The Columbia hotel instantly came to mind. Especially as they are musicians and have their own quirky style. I knew it would suit them down to the ground. As soon as they saw it and met Sophie they instantly fell in love with it.
Sophie met all their needs and the wedding day was literally the best wedding I’ve ever been to, and not because it was my daughter’s wedding. Every detail and requirement was met and even the weather was perfect for late October. The sun shone for the whole day.
The decour was just as they had envisioned and the food which was buffet style met everyone’s needs & dietary requirement's. Sophie & Josh were very accommodating with everything that Hollie & Luke requested and the whole day & night went like a dream. I’m not exaggerating. It was perfect!
For a hotel in the heart of Bayswater, it was value for money, & while it might not be fancy, smanshy, it had all the grandeur we needed. I’d definitely recommend it as a wedding venue or any other special event.

We had nothing but a completely enjoyable experience working with the Columbia to create a wedding that was entirely tailored to our needs. Sophie and Josh were a pleasure to work with and were completely amenable to any changes or developments we had with our plans. We absolutely loved the food and cocktails (as did all our guests) and the venue was perfect in every way. The bedrooms were perfect for us too, with so much room to spread out and get ready. All of our guests said how affordable it was to stay, whilst being right next to Hyde park! If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing!
