Hiring the Barbican as our venue was the best decision we could have made for our wedding. Our booking came with a wedding coordinator, Tomas, who was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. His attention to detail and thoughtful consideration of our needs made him the perfect person to coordinate both the day itself and the lead-up to it. The food was exceptional, and the space was a marvel for everyone. Thank you for a brilliant day.

Things have finally calmed down after our wedding and we just wanted to take a minute to drop you a note to thank you for all your help. You have been God sent in the entire process. You have been extremely helpful throughout the process from our first interaction with you. You have been responsive, honest with your opinions (which was truly appreciated), gone over and above your role (like helping our family make the boxes on the wedding day and help in all the set up) and ensured that all planning is complete beforehand for our day to run smoothly. You were always one step ahead of the curve - dealing with suppliers, responding to them directly and keeping our involvement to the minimum which was extremely valuable. You are so warm, friendly and approachable and we knew we were in really good hands as soon as we met you. It goes without saying that the venue is absolutely stunning but we should also mention how absolutely brilliant the operations team were on the day. Every single one of them were working together to ensure everything runs absolutely smoothing and were always there if we ever needed anything. Based on your amazing customer service and the outstanding work of your operations team we will definitely be recommending HAC to all our family and friends.

Thank you so much to One Moortgate, especially our wedding coordinator 'Darren'. The venue is absolutely stunning, regal, elegant and grandeur, the perfect space for an aesthetically traditional wedding. It gives a Chapel/ Church feel. Not only was the venue stunning, but the service was 5*. The food, staff, access and overall experience exceptional. The day was executed perfectly, all last minute changes taken into account, they did not miss a beat. From the tasting, venue visits with complementary lunch, choosing wines an décor, the entire experience was perfect. I cannot thank the team enough.

From the moment we first saw The Gherkin we knew it was the perfect venue for us. Sophie made us feel assured and confident in our decision and was very helpful and assertive in taking on board our ideas and requirements. The run up to the wedding was flawless, from wine tasting to food tasting it went so well and was a wonderful experience. All the suppliers who Sophie recommended were outstanding and made our wedding so perfect. We cannot recommend a wedding at The Gherkin enough, all the staff from bar staff, security, cloakroom staff to waitresses and chefs were professional and personable and all the comments from all of our guests were amazed at how wonderful it all was. Thank you again to Sophie and all the team and if I had one wish it would be to do it all again.

The venue were incredibly helpful and thoughtful in having our big day run effortlessly. They were super helpful with suggestions and advice in the lead-up and day itself, and allowed us a lot of flexibility in making the day run as we wanted. Niomi and her team were superb, and their recommended supplier list was really excellent, both in quality and value for their relatively inexpensive cost. Could not recommend the venue's spaces enough, us and our guests loved it all.

We had the perfect wedding day at Wagtail last month! From the initial planning stages to the final moments of our special day, the entire experience was incredible. The venue was organised, friendly, and accommodating throughout the planning process. Silvja, our wedding day coordinator, was an absolute superstar! She went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy our evening reception with our guests. Her coordination with the suppliers, the guests and ourselves was impeccable, making sure everything was taken care of seamlessly in the background. The entire Wagtail team provided exceptional service throughout the evening. The food and drinks were excellent and served with great attention to detail. We received amazing feedback from our guests about both the venue and the outstanding service during the reception. We highly recommend Wagtail to anyone looking for a perfect wedding experience!

We wanted a small, intimate wedding and celebration space where we created a community in a day. This space is so beautiful and historic. We were able to decorate simply and quickly by ourselves. There was space for the caterers to serve a buffet in the garden, a yurt for us to change in and the hall for the main event, with disabled access to toilets. As an old building there is a lot of character but surprisingly there is WIFI if you want face-timers to join in on the celebration too. The PA, audio visuals etc are very good. To add we are a global majority family/community and we felt totally welcomed. If you are able to plan from scratch and do it yourself or if you get a team in to organise everything from set up to pack up at the end of the day, the team at St Ethalburga's are very helpful and will advise you along the way. Thank you team at St Ethalburga's (Alistair) for making our day run so smoothly. Best wishes,

Sam

We had our wedding at The White Haus in Farringdon and it honestly couldn’t have been a better choice. The whole place has such a cosy winter feel, which made the atmosphere really special. We had around 150 guests spread across all three floors and the space worked perfectly for everyone. The mezzanine was a real highlight for me. It was the perfect spot to get ready, really calm with a relaxed lounge vibe, and it helped me settle in before everything started. The staff were amazing throughout the day, incredibly hospitable and always accommodating, which made everything run smoothly. The food was great as well. We went for a light buffet style with a mix of warm and cold canapés instead of a sit down meal because we wanted to keep things social and leave more time for dancing. It was definitely the right choice and our guests loved it. One thing worth noting if you are planning to have a DJ is to ask them to bring their own lighting, as the venue doesn’t have any disco lights. Overall, The White Haus was an incredible venue for our wedding. It was warm, welcoming and honestly just a brilliant setting for the day. Highly recommend.
