We got married on the 6th January 2024 at the Mayfair Library and hired a Routemaster to take us, and 76 guests, to the Elgin for the reception. It was exactly what we were hoping for and more! The staff were incredibly helpful since our first enquiry, and we planned the entire wedding in less than 3 months!

The pub itself has a cool, laid back ambiance to it, with great interior so doesn't need too much additional decoration. The additional probs we did bring along were all set up beautifully and brought our vision to life.

The food was outstanding and they managed to cater for a number of different dietary requirements. All of our guests commented on how impressed they were with the food - and will be going back!

The team were extremely attentive and helpful from day one. On the day they helped keep track of timings to make sure we didn't overrun before evening guests arrived. They also took care of the take-town and prepared everything to be collected the following day.

Highly recommend if your after a fun, relaxed reception with great food and perfect space to have a good time!

Firstly, thank you to all the staff from beginning of booking through to the day itself, you made the whole experience stress free and we’re all so friendly and professional! Thank you so much. The venue was just perfect for our wedding with the beautiful candle light that made it all so special during the winter light. Highly recommend The Elgin, for a perfect London Wedding. Thank you all

Thank you so much to the Elgin. In the lead up to the wedding, they were so helpful and responsive and answered all of our questions. The online planner is also a really useful tool. We also had a call to go through the details of the day which made me feel really comfortable.

On the day, everything went absolutely perfectly. The team really went above and beyond to make the day special. The decorations were amazing, the staff were lovely and everyone commented on how good the food was. After the meal, we had a brilliant time on the dance floor which the team set up for us and the evening food went down a treat. Thank you so much to the Elgin for a brilliant time. Our guests all said how much they loved the venue too, and we wouldn’t hesitate to reccomend you in the future!

Also, the cocktail tanks were loved by the guests!

From our initial enquiry to the moment we left on our wedding day, the service was outstanding. Cara guided us seamlessly through the planning process, and Sonny, along with the rest of the staff, ensured everything ran smoothly on the 15th. Our guests are still raving about the food and the spiced rum punch. I didn’t manage to catch everyone’s names on the evening, but a huge thank you to all of you—you were an essential part of making it the best day!

We had an amazing wedding at The Elgin in October. From our first email with Cara it was clear that everything would be handled so expertly, with the planner making everything very clear. Communication was excellent and turning up on the day to have everything done, with such brilliant and thoughtful decoration, was wonderful. The team helped the day go by go smoothly - and had the patience of saints during the flurry of espresso martini orders! Couldn’t have asked for anything to be better. The best day!

From start to finish our experience with the Elgin was fantastic.

So well organised with all pre-planning and always quick with responses on any queries. Incredibly accomodating and set the room up perfectly.

Food and service and whole atmosphere was amazing, staff couldn't do enough to help, so friendly and engaging.

Food was so delicious and so much of it for what we paid. Fully accommodated our plant based requests.

Would 100% recommend. Can't fault a thing. All our guests were blown aswell.

We held our wedding reception here in October and had the most amazing time. From the initial enquiry to after the event, I cannot explain just how incredible the entire Elgin/ULG team were in making our wedding even more special than we ever thought it could be.

When enquiring/planning the ULG team of Caroline, Robert and Cara were brilliant in answering all my many questions, so responsive and accommodating for whatever requests I made. We visited the pub a few times before the day and every time someone on site was there to help with questions. The online planner for inputting all the information is so easy and a great way to keep track of what you’re ordering/spending.

The onsite team led by Sonny are absolutely incredible. One of things which sold the Elgin to us was the fact we could drop the decorations in advance, the team handled all the set up (brilliantly as well!) and then stored them for us for a week after until we could collect. This is something not many venues offer (usually only the days either side of the wedding) and made such a huge difference to us and took such a worry off my mind in the days leading up to the wedding. But not only that the team took such care in setting everything up in line with my plans making sure things like place settings and memory displays for lost relatives were perfect.

On the day the team were even more fantastic, ensuring guests were well taken care of with plenty of food and drink and even dealing with last minute requests such as change in dietary requirements.

The venue itself is brilliant, set across two floors and barely needs any decorations. The food is fantastic – we had canapes, two course sharing meal and then evening food. All of our guests raved about how good everything was, and portions are very generous!

I would completely recommend the Elgin for a celebration venue!

The team at the Elgin were fantastic from start to finish for our wedding. We hired the entire venue and chose a late finish.

Rob and Cara were brilliant at answering all my many varied questions and chasing me up when I needed it! We found the handover phone call with Cara to be particularly helpful as she has great advice on how to get the most from the time and make it a truly memorable experience for our guests as well as ourselves.

On the day itself, the place looked brilliant and there wasn't a thing out of place. I had several guests approach me just to tell me that the vibe and ambiance was wonderful and the food was the best they had ever eaten at a wedding (as we knew it would be!). A few of our local friends have said they will be back to enjoy a pint and a meal another time.

All of the staff were great too - everyone said how friendly they were and they all did a fab job at keeping the place clean and tidy. Tom and Sonny were super helpful throughout the whole process which took a lot of stress out of it. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Elgin.

The Elgin were absolutely amazing from start the finish. They made the entire process so so easy and on the day it was seamless.
The pub itself has so much charm you really don't need to have many decorations, and it's a great size that makes it feel full and buzzing all day.
Cara and Robert were brilliant on the planning side, and then Sonny and Tom on the day were amazing!
Didn't need a coordinator or planner as they make everything run like clockwork.

Cannot recommend the Elgin enough. Caroline and Cara in the planning stages were beyond helpful, really appreciated the level of flexibility when it came to timings and always available to answer any questions.

The venue team are also amazing, everyone is so nice and accommodating, special mention goes out to JJ. The food was incredible, lunch and evening, we've had messages from our evening guests just to mention how good the food was!

Thanks again for making our day even more special than it already was, we really had the best time!

Our day couldn’t have gone any better. We had so many compliments from our guests as to the venue and the food. A really well presented room with everything we needed for the day, and a bar offering a great variety of drinks. We really couldn’t have been happier with our choice!

Tom and the team were fantastic on the day and with all the prep leading up to the day. Nice and relaxed organisation, everything ran very smoothly.

If you're considering The Elgin, you won't be disappointed! The staff were nothing short of amazing—so attentive, friendly, and ready to go the extra mile from start to finish to ensure our day was everything we hoped for. They made us and our guests feel so welcomed and well cared for.
A highlight for many of our guests was the incredible food, especially the family-style feasting boards! They were beautifully presented and really brought a sense of community to the meal as everyone shared and enjoyed together. It was the perfect way to celebrate with our loved ones.
The pub itself had a warm, cozy atmosphere, and the space was just right for our reception. Thank you to everyone at The Elgin for making our day so special- we love you!! We couldn’t have imagined a better place to celebrate!
Highly recommend for weddings, events, or just a great meal with friends and family!

The Elgin was a truly fantastic venue with a team that delivered exactly what we were after for our wedding reception.

The flexibility was second to none and the whole process in the run up and on the day was seamless and well explained, with key contacts taking us through, throughout.

We must mention the food as well, which was absolutely spectacular, some of the best food we've had and which catered for various tastes and restrictions.

Our friends and family can't stop talking about how great our reception was, which was made possible due to the venue and the staff. Would 100% recommend if you're looking for a relaxed vibe, with great food and a fantastic team.

It took me almost a year to find a wedding reception venue that matched our theme and that we truly liked. It was extremely difficult, especially since we were on a budget and venues here in London are so expensive. Surprisingly, a few months before our wedding, I found one—The Elgin. At first, I thought it was a scam because it seemed too good to be true. First of all, they were very quick to respond, and secondly, they had great offers. Well, since we really liked the place, we took the risk. And in the end, we had no regrets. From the moment I started emailing them until everything was done, their team was incredibly organized. A special thanks to Caroline because she made me feel secure; she gave me assurance and properly referred me to the appropriate team members who would handle things. I was also touched by the service they provided us, especially since our wedding was DIY, so we did everything ourselves—from the decorations to other planning aspects. But they were a huge help in decorating the venue on our behalf. I didn’t feel stressed at all in this regard, and I’m so grateful. I hadn’t even given specific instructions on how I wanted the decorations, but they pulled off exactly what I had imagined. I was nervous at first, but when we delivered the decorations and Robert said, "We’ll take care of it," I immediately felt at ease. They were very organized, and they even gave me a planner that was linked to them, and from there, they based everything on what we wanted and had planned.

Thank you so much to all of you, and to those who are looking for a venue and happen to read this review, don’t hesitate to book this one. You won’t regret it. More power to your team!

We had the best day at the Elgin for our wedding. Throughout the planning process the team were very responsive, organised and helpful with any questions we had. The food on the day was delicious, catering to multiple allergies and preferences. The team throughout were fantastic and didn't have to think about a thing with timings or what we had asked for on the day. I found the whole process seamless and easy which made for a very fun and relaxing day! Thank you all again!
