Can we combine spaces for our wedding celebration and what's the total capacity?

Yes, you can combine The Lounge and Kebab Queen at Covent Garden for a complete wedding experience. Kebab Queen seats 10 guests for intimate wedding dinners or breakfasts, while The Lounge accommodates larger celebrations. Together, both spaces have a combined capacity of 200 guests, making it perfect for wedding parties or evening receptions.

What dining options are available for wedding celebrations?

Three main options: Set Menu at £35pp for 3 courses (upgrade to Bubbles package for £50pp including Prosecco on arrival and half bottle of wine per person), Bottomless Brunch at £60pp with 3 courses plus 2 hours unlimited selected beers and Prosecco, and Party Food Menu featuring canapés, bowl food, and kebabitos served tray-style or buffet. All dietary requirements can be accommodated with advance notice.

What are the age restrictions and ID requirements for wedding guests?

All guests consuming alcohol must be 18+ with valid ID. Le Bab operates a Check 25 policy across all venues. You must inform them at booking if underage guests will attend your wedding event. Failure to notify about underage attendees may result in event cancellation and deposit forfeiture.

How flexible are the event timings and what are the standard time slots?

Timings are flexible and can be customized to your needs. Standard slots include 6PM-12AM and 8:30PM-2AM options. The venue works with you to accommodate your preferred schedule, whether for intimate wedding dinners in Kebab Queen or larger celebrations in The Lounge.

What payment options are available and when is final payment due?

Final payments can be made via invoice or on the event night. For larger late-night bookings, card authentication (verification only, not charged) is required seven days prior to your event. If choosing a cash bar option, the minimum spend can be met through bar sales and your deposit is refunded the next day if the minimum is reached.

Are there any restrictions on external vendors or entertainment for weddings?

The venue can accommodate DJs, live music, and photo booths as mentioned in their event offerings. However, specific vendor approval processes and restrictions on external suppliers are not detailed in the available information. You should discuss your entertainment and vendor requirements directly with the venue team.

How far in advance do menus need to be confirmed and can they change?

Final menus are confirmed one month prior to your wedding event. Menus and pricing may see minor changes, so the venue will provide updated information closer to your date. This allows flexibility for seasonal ingredients and ensures accurate pricing for your celebration.

What's included in the pre-order drinks packages and discounts available?

Welcome drinks receive a 20% pre-order discount from the Party Drinks menu. The Bubbles package (£50pp) includes Prosecco on arrival, 3 courses, and half a bottle of wine per person in red, white, or rosé. You'll also have access to a private bar for your wedding celebration.

Can we arrange venue viewings before booking our wedding?

Yes, venue showings can be arranged with the site manager. The venue team can accommodate viewings and will arrange visits to show you both The Lounge and Kebab Queen spaces. They can also send venue videos via WhatsApp and are available to answer questions about your specific wedding requirements.
