About this space

Finding the perfect venue for your wedding reception is no small task. Help, however, is near at hand.

West End on the Thames are London’s leading provider of events on the Thames operating a fleet of vessels. Their unique venues are stunning in their own right, with smart furnishings and comfortable seating, not to mention space to accommodate hundreds of guests (though smaller vessels are available for more intimate groups). The most impressive feature of these vessels, though, is their location: the heart of London.

As your guests sit down to the wedding meal and prepare for the speeches, they will be floating gently past some of the capital city’s most iconic landmarks, from the Houses of Parliament to Tower Bridge. On deck, family and friends can mingle with drinks while soaking in the atmosphere of London’s impressive skyline, from Canary Wharf to the O2. Having these towering monuments as the backdrop to your wedding celebration – and your wedding photos – is an experience that neither you nor your guests will ever forget.

By partnering with West End on the Thames, you’ll gain the assistance of their team of experienced event planners, who will ensure that your wedding reception is the perfect event for you and your partner. With meticulous planning and preparation, they will source caterers, décor, live entertainment, photographers and drinks providers to suit your individual tastes, creating a bespoke event tailored to your dream wedding. No detail is too fine and they pride themselves on delivering functions that are exactly as you imagined them.

On the day itself, their renowned customer service will guarantee that your guests enjoy themselves, though that’s a near-certainty just by the virtue of attending a floating wedding reception, cruising through the centre of London. This is an incredible opportunity to provide an unforgettable experience for your guests, and to host the wedding of your dreams.
