Discover your Perfect Wedding Venue in London
Monday 11 July 2016
Looking for a London wedding venue? Your wedding isn’t just a special day in your life, it is also the best party you will ever go to. Everyone will want to come up and say hello – you and your partner are not only the hosts, you’re the guests of honour. So plan a proper celebration that expresses who you are and lets you fully relax and confidently enjoy this major milestone.
Make wedding planning simple
It’s the day two become one – why not enjoy the simple luxury of holding your marriage ceremony and celebrations in one venue too! Family and guests will appreciate the sheer convenience of it as much as you. There’s no awkward standing around or complicated transport arrangements to make, everything flows seamlessly from formalities to photography to fizz and food!
The Gordon Ramsay Group has two wedding venues in London licensed for marriage ceremonies. At London House in Battersea Village, in the Borough of Wandsworth, you can be married in the picturesque garden terrace area and move into the relaxed chic of the restaurant and bar for the celebrations.
In Camden, York & Albany near Regent’s Park offers romantic Regency architecture with the added advantage of nine boutique hotel bedrooms, so you and guests from out of town can stay right before or after the wedding. For the ceremony, choose from the elegant Regency Room, or Gloucester Gate, which puts a glamorous twist on the traditional coaching inn character.
There are plenty of options when it comes to the wedding breakfast, or drinks and canapé receptions at York & Albany too – Gordon Ramsay Restaurants’ expert wedding planners can offer plenty of guidance as to what works best for your circumstances.
Express yourself on your special day
Many couples today want their wedding celebrations to reflect their personality and sense of style, according to Gordon Ramsay Restaurants’ expert wedding planner Stephanie Mechanic.
‘Whether you like rustic chic, the avant garde, classic romance or full-on Art Deco glamour, we have something to suit among our 14 restaurants across London,’ she says. ‘Our new weddings website is a great reference guide to whet your appetite, find inspiration and check details such as room capacities.’
Fancy a relaxed family-focused gathering with hearty British and Mediterranean dishes? The Narrow in Limehouse is perfect and guests will thank you for the spectacular river views. Feel a modern, industrial space better encapsulates your style? Union Street Café brilliantly combines urban chic with welcoming warmth.
There’s not only a wide choice of intimate or spacious private dining rooms, our London wedding planners also take bookings for exclusive use of restaurants, allowing you to invite, say, 40 to a sit down meal at the Savoy Grill, or as many as 500 people for a standing reception in the case of Bread Street Kitchen.
The ultimate in foodie weddings
We don’t need to tell you how seriously the Gordon Ramsay Group takes food and drink! We think it should be a key part of a wedding and, as restaurants play an increasing part in contemporary social life, it’s only natural that more and more couples want to host wedding receptions in them.
Gordon Ramsay chefs are delighted to work with you to create a bespoke dream wedding menu. Whether you are drawn to the sophisticated artistry of a Michelin-starred restaurant such as Pétrus, want to serve a hearty sharing feast of your favourite ingredients at a place such as maze Grill, or prefer to party in a bar, the team wants to ensure you and your guests are completely satisfied.
A tasting, which is included as part of the wedding package, helps you clarify your preferences and makes certain the kitchen knows what is important to you. The sommeliers and mixologists will work with you, too, to select the perfect drinks. Fancy a colour-coordinated cocktail to kick off the reception, or wines of a particular region? No problem.
Perfect finishing touches
With a wedding planner safely navigating you through the complexities of formal wedding arrangements, you are free to have fun styling your special day.
Our preferred wedding suppliers are first-rate companies that share the Gordon Ramsay Group’s values of quality and style. Swoon over cake designs from Peggy Porschen and Elizabeth’s Cake Emporium, Laura Kuy Flowers, the stunning tableware of Duchess & Butler, and super-chic E.Y.I. Love stationery, to name a few. However our team is also happy to work with other industry professionals should you have your heart set on particular items.
First step is to set the date! You can plan a wedding at Gordon Ramsay Restaurants any day you wish, subject to availability.
