Most wedding venues offer wedding packages, and in London, prices range from £65 to £175 per person, depending on which package you choose. Full buyouts are also common and cost from £2700 - £12000 per day. Some venues may charge on the basis of a minimum spend and they start from as low as £2500. Keep in mind that those are only general prices so it’s best to send an enquiry and ask for an individual offer that will be calculated on your guest list and other individual requirements.

You should secure your dream wedding venue no later than 6 months in advance. However, we suggest doing it even earlier. So try to start your search around one year before the wedding. Working on this timeline ensures that you will have many more offers to choose from and you won’t rush with the decision-making process. Also, you may catch an early-bird price and save some money that you can spend on other important wedding elements, such as decorations or wedding attire.

Shoreditch & East London
My husband and I had our December wedding at the Amadeus. The venue was perfect for a Christmassy themed Asian-fusion wedding. The lights really helped create the atmosphere that we wanted. In the lead up to the wedding David and Leonie were helpful and the staff on the day were professional.
The whole team and everything about the venue was perfect! Nothing was too much for them! Always smiling and going above and beyond! They made our wedding so so special
Beautiful venue with wonderful staff, we had Brendan as our venue coordinator and he was absolutely wonderful. The security were perfect, so kind and helpful, perfect place for our wedding
Very helpful events team. Really helped with the journey of planning the event, and ensured it mostly went to plan. The food was exceptional and got a lot of compliments. The hotel itself is very presentable and was great as a venue for the wedding.
The event coordinator Fiona was very friendly, helpful and kind. She was professional, understanding and delightful to communicate with and made the experience agreeable and smooth. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The venue was big and overall I had a great experience with the Brentford lock.
We couldn't have asked for more!!! Despite the pandemic and restrictions, Anestis and his staff made our big day extra special. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. The staff were helpful, polite, fun; nothing was too much to ask. Anestis was amazing from the start till the end. He was full of ideas, he was also patient and very accomodating. The rooms were an added bonus. They were clean and spacious. Thank you !!!
Bar staff were incredibly polite and bubbly. We were made to feel super special and they were incredibly patient and responsive considering we now had to be seated for service and we chose to pay separately for our bills. The venue is lovely with great music. Beautiful cocktails. Couldn't fault it at all.
The Oratory is perfect for an intimate wedding. The hotel is beautiful and historic with lots of differently styled spaces to enjoy. The option to create a completely bespoke menu with the chef. Dedicated and friendly team of staff. Unique experiences like sabrage.
