Booked Ground Floor at Coin Laundry
We've had our wedding reception at the Coin Laundry over the weekend (August 2025). The venue was exceptional in every way. From the first time we went to view the space, to the day after our wedding when we went back for a roast dinner - every detail was perfect. The bar team (special shout out to Max and Arthur) were extremely friendly, helpful and happy to help with anything on the day. Extremely capable and knew exactly how to best set the place up for a wedding party. Cara, Zac and the events team were super helpful in the lead up, preparing us a "planner" spreadsheet allowing us to personalise every aspect and make our selections. We had separate calls with Cara and Arthur before the big day to talk about the finer details, and it gave us full peace of mind that we were in good hands! The food was top quality and they made extra efforts for our guests with dietary requirements. Lovely selection of beers and really good cocktails. They helped our band / DJs set up the equipment and were happy to help with any requests throughout the evening. Extremely accommodating and nothing was too much of an ask. Coin Laundry and Exmouth Market really do make a beautful setting for a London wedding and we are soooooo glad that we decided to choose them for ours! Thank you to everyone involved - 10/10 (from Jolene & James, 09.08.2025 - credit Sally Faith Photography for the photos!)

Booked The Windsor Suite at The Milestone Hotel and Residences
A Perfect Wedding Venue and Unmatched Hospitality
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sam and I recently celebrated my wedding on 12/12/2024 at The Milestone Hotel, and it was the most magical experience I could have ever dreamed of. From the moment I began planning with the hotel in early summer 2024, the level of care and attention to detail exceeded all my expectations.
A huge shoutout to Emma Smith, the Sales, Conference, and Banqueting Executive, who worked tirelessly with me through countless emails—probably over 100! She was patient, attentive, and genuinely committed to bringing my vision to life. No request or idea was too big or small; Emma always had thoughtful solutions and suggestions to make everything perfect. She truly is the best!
The hotel itself is warm, cozy, and oozes charm. The service provided by the entire team was absolutely top-notch—everyone was professional, friendly, and eager to ensure our day was flawless. The Milestone Hotel is not only gorgeous but also conveniently located near Chelsea Old Town Hall, making it an ideal spot for our wedding reception after the ceremony.
Every detail, from the beautifully appointed spaces to the impeccable hospitality, made my wedding day unforgettable. I can’t recommend The Milestone Hotel enough for anyone planning a special event. It’s a place where dreams come true. Thank you for making our big day so extraordinary!

Booked Mala Madre Events Space at The Last Talisman
Mala Madre is a perfect venue for a more private event in the heart of London. From the moment of booking the space, communication with Dovile and Cecile was easy and we were given reigns on how we wanted the space to look for our wedding reception (added flowers, fairy lights, bunting and even a shimmery photo wall). We ordered some finger food and it was all very delicious. All our guests enjoyed the night as much as we did. VERY lovely venue and staff were all fantastic! Thank you Mala Madre!

Booked Entire Venue at The Fox, Shoreditch
We had our wedding reception at The Fox and it was a total blast! Guests loved using the different floors and especially the outdoor area (which could be covered) and karaoke room. Throughout the process the team were super responsive via email about food orders, allowed my cousins to DJ and take over the sound system, and the staff were always super friendly when we visited and had more requests. We barely needed to decorate as the place is so nice and was clean and tidy for the event. They also laid on security so we really felt like the place was ours!

Booked Princess Room at The Princess of Wales
We had our wedding reception here and it was amazing! I must thank Fefe, Ada, Claudi and Loni for making my wedding reception wonderful! Communication was easy and they were able to accommodate the requests that I had which I loved and appreciated! I had told them the vision I had in mind and they were willing to accommodate. Super professional and have to thank the team for helping out setting up the tables and cleaning up - we were hungover the day after! Lastly, food and drinks were tasty! I would recommend this venue!
MM
Booked Whole Venue at Patch East
Paola specifically was lovely to work alongside in planning our wedding party; communication was great and all of our questions were answered. Paola is also someone who’s just solutions focused which takes pressure off your shoulders with all the ‘what could go wrong’ feelings you get when planning a wedding. We also wanted to massively commend Patrick the Event Manager and his bar staff team on the night. They were brilliant and brought such great vibes- it really felt like they were part of the party. If I ever needed anything Patrick was already on it. The suppliers recommended to us by Patch e.g the DJ were also excellent- great value for money and really talented. The space looked really beautiful, the team and my friends had done a great job setting it up.

Booked Main Bar at The Queens Head
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding reception! From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted by the most friendly and welcoming staff we could have hoped for. Their warmth and enthusiasm made us feel like we were among friends, and that set the tone for the entire evening.
The location itself was absolutely stunning. The pub was beautifully designed and decorated, creating a charming and cozy atmosphere that was perfect for our celebration. It provided the ideal backdrop for our special day, and our guests were in awe of the venue's charm.
One aspect that was particularly important to us was finding a gay-friendly venue, and we were thrilled with the inclusive and accepting environment the pub offered. It was clear that they not only welcomed but celebrated all forms of love, which meant the world to us and our LGBTQ+ friends and family.
Our wedding reception at this venue was an unforgettable experience, thanks in no small part to the incredible staff, the fantastic location, and the warm and inclusive atmosphere. We couldn't recommend this venue more highly for anyone looking to celebrate their love in a truly special place.

Booked Whole Venue at The Williamson's Tavern
We had the most exceptional wedding party at the Williamson Tavern, a beautiful celebration of love in a very special proper London pub. The team were incredible from the moment we booked, helping us plan our special day so it would be just how we wanted it. They really went the extra mile to make sure we had the best time and we've enjoyed every minute of organisation, prep and of course the wedding party itself. This will always be a special pub for us and we look forward to re-visiting over the years :)
