The minimum spend varies by date and group size, ranging from £8,000 to £20,000 inclusive of VAT and exclusive of 12.5% discretionary service charge. For example, a 60-person event requires £8,000 minimum spend, while larger events may require up to £20,000. All food and drinks consumed during your event count towards this minimum spend.

The venue accommodates up to 150 people for standing receptions or up to 70 guests for seated dining. The maximum capacity is strictly 150 people and cannot be exceeded. For groups requiring exclusive hire, you'll need the entire 9th floor rooftop space with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the London skyline.

The venue is available from 12pm onwards, with most events starting from 6pm or 7pm. Standard closing time is 11:30pm, though this can be extended for private events. Some events have been quoted to run until 1am, and late extensions may be available depending on your specific requirements and date.

To secure your date, you must pay 50% of the minimum spend upfront as a deposit. The remaining balance must be paid at least 30 days prior to your wedding date. The venue does not hold space without a signed contract and deposit payment, so immediate confirmation is required to secure availability.

The venue offers 3-course set menus at £60 per person, canapes, and bowl food options. For groups of 10 or more, you must dine from set menus to maintain quality standards. All menus are subject to seasonal changes, and you'll be notified if changes occur before your event. Pre-ordering is mandatory and must be confirmed 14 days prior to your wedding.

The venue allows external DJs and entertainment, as several quotes mention clients bringing their own DJs. However, specific vendor approval processes and restrictions are not detailed in the available information. You should confirm vendor policies and any associated fees when making your booking inquiry.

If your requested date is unavailable, the venue will offer to find you an alternative venue rather than suggesting alternative dates at LSQRooftop. This indicates limited flexibility with date changes, so having backup dates ready when inquiring is advisable.

All food and beverage pre-orders must be confirmed at least 14 days prior to your wedding date. The venue encourages advance planning for bar snacks, drinks service schedules, and substantial food options. Menus are subject to seasonal changes and will be finalized closer to your event date.

The venue shows flexibility with start times, with availability from 12pm onwards. Many events are quoted starting at 6pm or 7pm, and the venue actively asks about preferred timing to accommodate your schedule. Earlier start times appear to be negotiable based on availability.

Exclusive hire includes the entire 9th floor rooftop space with floor-to-ceiling windows, terrace access with London skyline views, and a dedicated waiting team for your event. All food and drinks are added to your tab and must be settled by the end of the evening. The space provides both indoor and outdoor areas for your celebration.
