6 Venues To Make Your Wedding Unforgettable

The excitement of your impending nuptials is building, blissful mood boards are starting to take shape, and you’re floating on Cloud Nine. Weddings are often romanticised as the best day of our lives, but planning the day can bring huge amounts of stress and pressure to the happy couple. From buffets to bridal bouquets, there’s no denying there is a lot to think about to make your day perfect, including the all-important venue.

While you’ve got some downtime during this period of social distancing, you’re going to have a little extra time to plan your wedding. However, the plethora of wedding venues across London can make it hard to know where to start. Luckily, Hire Space is here to help you through the whole process - from finding and booking a venue, to liaising with the venue on the details, to even being there on the day should you need us. We can also put together a bespoke selection to fit your budget and brief.

To start you off, we have searched high and low to find you the most unforgettable wedding venues in London to help you well on your way to marital bliss.

Watch the hustle and bustle of the City transform into the glorious sparkling sea of lights that is London at night. Complemented by unbeatable Searcys catering, the Gherkin is sure to make the day one you won’t forget.

Stylish yet striking, this venue will echo the beauty of the day and provide a backdrop perfectly complementing your nuptials. A firm Hire Space favourite.

The ornate Wolfson Room is a simply stunning location for your vows, evocative of a period drama drawing-room. Following the ceremony, guests can celebrate with a toast in the equally elegant Gallery, Music Room or Gardens, before entering the Council Room which has been transformed into a wedding reception of dreams. Downton Abbey, eat your heart out.
