Unique and Unusual Wedding Venues in London

The first time we went to visit The Roost we knew it was the perfect wedding venue for us. Aside from the capacity and price suiting our needs, we just fell in love with how characterful and unique the venue was. We loved that it still looked and felt like an East End Pub but the decor and vintage furniture made it all the more special. As a dry hire venue, it also ticked all of the boxes and we loved being able to plan the party and day just how we wanted it. Dave and Steph at The Roost were amazingly helpful right from the beginning and helped our day to go smoothly through all the support in the planning stages. The amount of space that you get at The Roost is brilliant and we maximised all the unique areas when planning our day. What an amazing place! We want to do it all again!

My experience was great. The venue is super cool - really quirky. So many guests commented on how fabulous it was! Good transport links too. Great space - over 3 floors means people can spread out a bit and can create ‘zones’. Venue very accommodating on access both before and on the day. Provided good list of local contacts for stuff like catering, lighting etc. Space for dance floor is plentiful. Strongly recommended!

We had a wonderful experience working with The Ministry for our civil partnership. The team were impeccably professional, well-organised and communicative at all times - they were lovely to work with, and the process was always very smooth and collaborative. The venue itself is beautiful and very flexible, the food and drink were really high-quality, and everyone we met, whether Antonio the Event Manager, Thanos the Bar Manager, or any of their staff, operated at a really high level, while always being friendly and approachable. They gave us lots of time and attention, and went above and beyond to make sure we and our guests had the experience we wanted. We couldn't recommend working with Ministry highly enough - we had a wonderful party with them, and a great time organising it.

We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding reception. Wagtail rooftop is a beautiful location and our guests could see all of London's landmarks. Rebecca, our wedding planner, was friendly, responsive and professional. She and her team were flexible with our requests; the food was AMAZING!; the service on the day was spot on! Although we only had canapes and no sit down meal, they offer the possibility of having large bites and late night pizzas, which was more than enough to keep our guests full. The service leading up to the day - inclusing tasting and correspondence - was professional and fast, and they even helped us with finding a DJ. Needless to say, they went above and beyond. We were able to enjoy our night because we knew we were in good hands.

We loved having our wedding drinks reception at Streatham Space Project. We wanted an intimate space that already possessed a lot of character so that we wouldn't need to decorate a blank canvas. After visiting SSP we knew that this was our venue. We also attended a comedy night at the venue to see another event in action. We had a half day package which included use of the kitchen, studio, and main bar. We utilised the studio for a dessert and chill space away from the main dancefloor and DJ in the bar area. Tali and the team were accommodating throughout the whole process and we're incredibly grateful. The drinks reception was wonderful and the SSP staff who were on hand to support during the event were very friendly and helpful with our guests. This hidden gem made a fantastic wedding drinks reception venue and I would defintitely recommend for any couples considering this as an option.

It was an honour to be able to have our wedding in the wonderful place that is the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Our guests were blown away at how grand it all felt! We had a drinks reception in the beautiful Figure Court and then our wedding breakfast and evening reception in the Great Hall. The grounds and buildings serve as an amazing backdrop for photos and it all felt quite private considering its in the heart of London and home to the Chelsea Pensioners. The team there were extremely professional and helpful and made the day very special for us.

We were incredibly privileged to be the first wedding at Matlby Street Market. Working with Ian was such a fun and easy experience. All of our ideas and suggestions were accommodated which meant the day was incredibly personal. Nothing was off the cards and we were offered some fantastic suggestions along the way to make the day run smoothly. Our guests commented that it was the most romantic and fun wedding they had ever attended. We also worked with Jemima (Jemima in the Woods) for the flowers which were very beautiful. Our guests ate an a fun wedding breakfast from various market traders including Duck Frites, Amen Ethiopian, Bangers Bros, Bar Tozino and Bon Vino. The food was stunning and the traders a real pleasure to work with. The venue itself, a busy London street market, was truly unique; an eclectic and vibrant mix of colour and charm allowing us to have the most beautiful photography and cherished memories for a long time to come.

Our Wedding Reception at the William Morris! We had our wedding reception at the WMP on Sat 20th May 2023. Kit and the team worked their backsides off to deliver a seamless, laid back reception with an amazing atmosphere. We had a few ideas as to what we wanted to do as we were unsure what the weather would be like. The team bent over backwards to help us and gave us the perfection event. We had lovely sharing platters of hot food, a Prosecco reception and then an evening of drinks and dancing. We received so many compliments from our guests. The pub is a real gem. There is such a lovely vibe. The team are the ones that really made it though. I heard nothing but excellent feedback. They anticipated our needs, delivered every part with professionalism and made the whole event flow beautifully. Our guests loved the way we did our wedding. There was no waiting around or unnecessary formality, yet it still felt like a wedding. We didn't have to do much to make the venue look great as it already does. We had bits and pieces to make it our own and the team were there to help and support. I can't fault them. Excellent value for money and the pub has a soul, unlike a boring golf course with a standard 3 course meal and half a bottle of wine. For the same budget we were able to provide delicious food that the guest actually liked and a flowing pre paid bar. Result. We hope that the pub holds many more events like this. They deserve every success and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone and everyone. We will definitely do another party there as soon as we can think of an occasion! To the whole team at WMP. THANK YOU! You rock and we will be back for Sunday dinner soon! Emily and Amul xxx

Wilton’s were absolutely superlative in every aspect of our booking with them.

It worked out really well to have our ceremony and reception in the nave, the buffet service in the courtyard by an outside caterer, drinks in an ice bucket on a table in the side area. and a chill-out/changing area in the tent just for us. There was room for 50 people buffet style but it might have fit only about 35-40 for table service. The speakers, video projector, and microphones worked without a hitch using our own laptop computer, and the colored floor lamps made it atmospheric. A good time was had by all but be sure to allow an hour to clear up within the booked time at the end. We managed in less time because the guests helpfully pitched in.
