Riverside wedding venues are becoming increasingly popular due to their beautiful settings. They can be entirely customised when it comes to decorations while also creating a lovely backdrop for your celebration. Here are a few of the key advantages of having your wedding at a riverbank venue:
- Riverside wedding locations are definitely one of the more unique wedding venue options. If you want your wedding to stand out, these venues may be the right choice if you prefer a relaxing and casual setting with the added feeling of being near nature. Not only that, but most of the decoration is already done for you because the setting is already stunning, which can help you cut down on the cost of your wedding.
- If you choose an outside setting, you will have much more space available to celebrate, allowing you and your wedding guests to celebrate all night long near the stunning river. It will be a night you and your guests will never forget.
- Such venues can provide an added feeling of seclusion and privacy, which may be an important factor to you during your celebration.
Your Guide to Hiring Thames Riverside Wedding Venues in London
Thames riverside venues are perfectly suited for weddings and are surprisingly versatile. Imagine saying ‘I do’ on the banks of this world-famous river amid natural surroundings or the vibrant energy of the city centre. You get to choose. Venues along the Thames are surrounded by stunning views of some of England's most iconic sites and landmarks and will provide a picture-perfect backdrop to your ceremony. What's more, the Thames runs through the heart of London, which means it's close to many transport links – an added convenience for your guests.
From the south banks of the River Thames, you can enjoy views of Westminster Abbey, The Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and St Paul’s Cathedral. From the north bank, you look across the water to Battersea Park, the iconic Battersea Power Station, the London Eye, The Shard and more. If you can’t decide on the view you want, perhaps a wedding cruise along the river with a 360° view of London would be a better option?
With so many potential venues to choose from, it can be hard to decide which areas of London have the best view of the Thames riverside. That’s why we’ve come up with a few ideas to give you some inspiration:
- If it’s iconic London landmarks you’re after, then we suggest a central location. Any bankside venue from Vauxhall Bridge to London Bridge will provide you with views of London’s famous sites. You will find all types of wedding venues in the heart of the city. From intimate dining rooms to rooftop bars and grand halls and warehouses, Central London offers a lot of variety.
- If you go a little further east, towards Canary Wharf, you’ll enjoy more of a cityscape view of London's beautiful skyscrapers. This area is also filled with stylish wine bars and pubs.
- For something a little closer to nature, head west of Central London towards Richmond, Kew, Twickenham and even as far as Kingston Upon Thames. Here you will be surrounded by gorgeous green parks including Bushy Park, Ham Lands and the Royal Botanic Gardens. This belt of green is home to lovely old-style wedding venues with large terraces and idyllic gardens that will make you feel as if you have escaped the city for the day.
