The Honourable Society of Grays Inn Reviews (34) Write a review The results looked effortless! Venue Service By Rachel and Mark, on 18 Oct 2018Date of Wedding - 06 Oct 2018 We were very pleased with the catering and service at Gray’s. The staff were very professional, efficient and friendly and you’d made the room look great. Thank you very much to you and the team for your work - the results looked effortless but I’m sure lots of hard graft goes on behind the scenes to make things go so smoothly. We very much appreciated it. Best wishes, Rachel and MarkNo stone was left unturned! Venue Service By Clare and Phil, on 29 Aug 2018Date of Wedding - 21 Jul 2018 To George and the team at Gray's Inn, A huge thank you for making our wedding so memorable. George you were brilliant in all of the help you gave us in preparations and it was great to see you on the day. Simon, thank you too for all of your help and please thank the staff. George, no stone was left unturned; the furniture and flowers in The Walks, the table settings, the food and 'place cards' when I knew they were a challenge! Lots of Love, Clare and Phil xxThank you! Venue Service By Timothy and Lydia, on 30 Jul 2018Date of Wedding - 26 May 2018 My wife and I (??) just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all the staff at Gray's Inn. We had a such a lovely day, and our guests did too. The day went very smoothly and that is largely due to your hard work.Best day of our lives! Venue Service By Mariko and Mark, on 04 Jun 2018Date of Wedding - 21 Apr 2018 Dear George, Thank you very much indeed for your kind email. Thanks to you, Anthony, and the entire team, we had the best day of our lives. All of your arrangements were absolutely flawless and we can only say thank you so, so much for everything. You may have already heard, but we were so lucky with the weather which made the day even more perfect. All of our guests were very impressed with Gray’s Inn as a venue, and so many people came up to us to compliment the food – apparently it was the best food they’ve ever tasted at a wedding. This wasn’t a surprise to us having tasted it previously, but please pass on our compliments and sincere gratitude to chef and entire catering team. We were sorry to miss you but Anthony looked after us and he was absolutely brilliant. Please pass on our thanks to Anthony for an unforgettable day. Our only regret is not being able to afford to have a wedding at Gray’s Inn every weekend!! Thank you so very much again. We could not have had our perfect day without you. We’ve attached a little picture for you on the steps :) With very best wishes Mariko and MarkOur Wedding Venue Service By Alex and Lexi, on 16 Aug 2018Date of Wedding - 22 Jul 2017 Dear George, We wanted to write to say thank you for a fabulous wedding. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, as did the guests. Thanks to all your planning and preparation. Please could you pass our thanks on to all the staff who worked wonders on the day to impress our guests. We were so proud to have your team and caterers. The food was delicious as expected, many congratulations to your chefs! Lots of love, Lexi and Alex xxExceeded expectations! Venue Service By Jean Philippe and Anna, on 21 Aug 2018Date of Wedding - 08 Jul 2017 JP and I wanted to thank you, Yuri and your staff for the wonderful day we had at Gray's Inn.

Further, thank you for Yuri's history tour and the written French/English print out, which was a huge hit with our guests who were all suitably impressed. Overall, our high expectations were exceeded for which many thanks. JP & AnnaFabulous - Everyone Had A Great Day Venue Service By Elaine Jones, on 31 Jul 2014Got married at Gray’s Inn in May 2014 and had an amazing day. Julie and Anthony did a fantastic job on the day and in the lead up to the wedding Julie was brilliant from providing lists of bands and florists to even collecting our Wedding Cake. The comments I have had back from my guests are fabulous, everyone had a great day and loved the location not only because it was so easy to get to but also because it was so tranquil for the centre of London. I would highly recommend Gray’s Inn as a venue, from start to finish my wedding preparation was completely stress free and the service provided was second to none.Amazing day & amazing venue Venue Service By Paul & Aida Fizia, on 15 Jul 2014If you want the most amazing wedding experience look no further than the Honorable Society of Grays Inn From the first to last contact the entire team could not have been more helpful and gave us a day the nobody will ever forget. Everything was superb, the service, the food, the venue, the ambiance, the professionalism I cannot praise it highly enough. Special thanks to Julie, Anthony and Jari My only regret is that we can't do it all over again!The perfect venue Venue Service By Katherine Neuberger, on 23 Sep 2013We had our wedding in Gray's Inn in August 2013 and it was absolutely perfect. The venue is beautiful with an array of stunning rooms to use and secluded gardens (the Walks) where we held our drinks reception and canapés. We used the Hall for the ceremony, dinner and for dancing afterwards. The team seamlessly changed it meaning that it felt like a different room and was perfect for each part of the event. The food was fantastic and the staff are incredibly attentive and really provide a fine dining experience for every guest. The wedding planning was handled incredibly professionally throughout, our friends and family were surprised by the lack of pre- wedding stress, but there was none thanks to the incredible work of Julie. On the day Anthony ensured that it ran to plan and we did not have to think about anything, he was fantastic, as was the Commissionaire. I have received so many compliments from guests on the location, food and service, I can not recommend Gray's Inn highly enough.A dream day made possible Venue Service By Gabriel and Rebecca Chan, on 07 Jun 2013We got married at the Gray’s Inn in May. I think it’s fair to say it is the ideal venue! The great hall and pension room provide spectacular venues for hosting guests for dinner, and just right to have a dance venue with bar all in one area. Simultaneously the bride and groom are afforded some tranquillity in the associated green rooms. The food was excellent – each course brought more compliments and gushing statements of appreciation. The staff exceeded our expectations – discrete, accurate, thoughtful throughout. We had Anthony as the duty manager – if you get a chance, request him, he is excellent! Julie was brilliant at keeping us informed and asking all the right questions in the lead up to the day, so that everything went smoothly. We would highly recommend the Gray’s Inn for the level of service and quality throughout.Exceptional Venue Service By Kate & Richard Wallace, on 07 Feb 2013This is my family's 5th wedding at Gray's (My parents in 1968 and 3 siblings!) We couldn't have been happier with how everything went. Nicola went out of her way to help and had some great ideas of her own. the food was delicious and service impeccable. Thank you allBeautiful gardens in central London Venue Service By Jemma & Tim, on 28 Aug 2012We hired the marquee in the Walks for our wedding reception this summer. We loved the open space and tranquillity of the gardens at Gray’s Inn. The option to have a summer bbq menu also complemented our relaxed garden party style of reception. The food was delicious and was praised highly by our guests. The staff at Gray's were wonderful throughout, both in the lead up to the wedding and on the day. Nothing was too much trouble and they made sure the smallest of details were perfect. We would recommend Gray's Inn. Prev Page 1 of 3 Next
