Frequently Asked Questions
What is the venue hire cost for exclusive use of Kent House Knightsbridge?
Exclusive venue hire is £4,500 + VAT for events, with some quotes showing £14,500 + VAT for 10-hour wedding hire. The venue operates on exclusive hire only - you cannot book individual rooms within the building. All pricing is for complete venue exclusivity.
What are the different pricing packages available and what do they include?
The venue offers a dry hire package with their caterer at £12,500 + VAT for 10 hours. Christmas party packages are available at £288-378 per person (minimum 120 guests) including venue hire, cocktail reception, seated dinner, live entertainment, DJ, dancefloor, and atmospheric lighting. Corporate day hire including AV and refreshments starts at £1,200-1,250.
Can I hire individual rooms or spaces within the venue?
No, Kent House Knightsbridge operates exclusively on a whole venue hire basis only. You cannot hire separate rooms within the venue - all bookings require exclusive use of the entire building. This ensures complete privacy for your event.
What spaces are available and what are their capacities?
The venue includes multiple spaces: the Rutland Room (suitable for 30 people theatre style), North Sanctuary (available for filming at £250 if finishing before 5pm), Marble Hall, and Library. The venue can accommodate 60-150 guests total depending on layout, with some events requiring stand-up format only for larger numbers.
Do you provide in-house catering or do I need external caterers?
Kent House does not have internal catering for private dining. They recommend catering partners including Hibiscus Food and Melanie's Catering, or you can bring your own approved caterers. The venue hire fee does not include any catering - this is always additional cost on top.
What AV equipment and technical facilities are included?
The venue has in-house AV equipment including screens, projectors, PA system, microphones, and lecterns. The Rutland Room can accommodate AV setups for presentations. Some packages include stage, screen, projector, and background music as standard, while day hire rates (£1,200-1,250) include use of in-house equipment.
What are the typical event timings and any time restrictions?
Standard evening events run 6pm-11pm, with extensions available. Day events typically operate 9am-5pm. The venue was unavailable for morning hire on one occasion (16th August 2025), suggesting some timing restrictions may apply. Early access from 12pm incurs an additional £3,000 fee.
Are there any additional mandatory costs I should budget for?
Yes, there is a fully refundable damage deposit of £1,000 required for all bookings. Early access fees apply if you need the venue before standard times (£3,000 for 12pm access). All prices quoted are plus VAT, and you'll need to budget separately for catering as this is never included in venue hire.
What is the booking process and payment requirements?
The venue requires a signed booking form and offers online payment via Stripe payment links. They can put dates on hold while you confirm requirements. You'll need to provide names of all attendees and specific event details before finalizing the booking.
What types of events does the venue decline and what are the budget thresholds?
The venue regularly declines events due to budget being too low, with several examples of budgets under £5,000-6,000 being rejected. They don't operate cash bars. Events requiring only basic room hire (like £1,250 budgets for 100 people) are typically declined as unsuitable for their pricing structure.
