Winter Wedding Venues for Hire in London

We love London winter wedding venues – here’s why:

• They’re a great deal – Wedding venues can be hired at significantly lower rates in winter (up to 50% off!). If you decide to get married in the low season, the range of venues you’re able to choose from is likely to increase a lot.

• They’re unique – From charming country houses that can be turned into festive fairylands to cosy pubs for smaller weddings, all winter wedding venues we’re listing have a really special vibe. See for yourself!

• They allow you to get creative – The vast majority of our winter wedding venues in London make great canvases for designing a beautiful reception. Whether you’re after a Christmas theme or loads of glitter, we’re sure to help you book a space that suits your vision.

Planning tips and tricks for a winter wedding:

• First things first: keep it warm – Double check if the venue’s heating is working properly and make sure your winter wedding venue will have had time to warm up before your ceremony or reception. Also, why don’t you serve a delicious hot drink on arrival, like spiced up mulled wine?

• Stay stylish and don’t freeze – Dress yourselves and your bridesmaids in style but make sure they won’t get cold. In terms of the venue, keep in mind that you will need some space for the guests to leave their outerwear.

• Don’t forget the days are getting short – Think about tying the knot earlier in the day to ensure you have enough time after the ceremony for outdoor group photos. Your photographer will thank you!

• Keep the winter spirit alive – Sparkles, fairy lights, wooden decor elements, festive red and green, white winter wonderland… you name it. Last but not least, say thank you to your guests with winter or Christmas-themed favours.

When’s the best time to host a winter wedding in London?

The winter season falls anywhere between December to February. However, we don’t recommend having a wedding during the Christmas season. That’s when venues raise their rates, and because of multiple corporate holiday parties, you may have much less options to choose from if you wait until the last minute with the booking. If you’re flexible with the date of your winter wedding, we suggest considering dates between mid-January to late February. That’s when many venues have a low season, which means you’ll have higher chances of booking excellent venues for much lower cost as venues usually lower their rates during the off-peak season.

Where in London can I find winter wedding venues?

Many fabulous venues can be found in the central areas of London. Check Soho and Covent Garden if you’re looking for a contemporary space that is less formal. If you’re thinking of having a fairytale wedding, swing by Mayfair and Knightsbridge, these areas are well known for a wide selection of beautiful venues with a luxurious feel.
