Yes, several mandatory costs apply. Bar minimum spends range from £2,000-£3,500 depending on the event size and space. Room hire fees of £1,800-£3,000 apply for evening use or when day events extend past 17:00. Some packages require minimum guest numbers (typically 50-80 guests). All quoted rates are VAT inclusive, so no additional tax surprises.
What spaces are included with venue hire?

The Crescent Garden outdoor space is included with Royal Suite bookings. Registration areas, cloakroom facilities, and dedicated lift access are typically included in the hire fee.
What are the booking and payment procedures?

Site visits can be arranged, and 3D virtual tours are available for spaces like the Skyline and Royal Suite. Payment terms and deposit requirements are confirmed during the booking process, with dedicated event planners assigned to each booking.
What makes Tower Suites unique for events?
Tower Suites offers stunning panoramic views of Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and River Thames from the Skyline rooftop venue. The location is just 30 seconds from Tower Hill station. The venue has won Booking.com's Traveller Review Award 2024 and 2023, plus TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice awards. Red carpet entrance and dedicated lift access add premium touches to events.
Can external suppliers be used and are there restrictions?
The venue appears to work with external suppliers for certain services like staging (quoted from £800-£900) and can accommodate client requirements for filming equipment and entertainment. However, specific vendor approval processes and restrictions are not detailed in available information. It's best to discuss external supplier policies during the booking consultation.
