Vinopolis

Set close to the banks of the river Thames and beneath the arches of a Victorian viaduct, Vinopolis has to be one of the most unique venues in London. Outside is reminiscent of a Dickensian film set whereas inside the rooms range from the Great Halls with its exposed brickwork and vaulted arches to the more contemporary space of the Mezzanine.

How magical is this photo?!

All three of its rooms, the Mezzanine, Great Halls and Academia, are licensed for civil ceremonies and Vinopolis can accommodate up to 400 people for a ceremony and 500 for a sit-down meal.

Stationers' Hall

I love discovering lesser known wedding venues in London and my latest find, Stationers' Hall, is very special indeed. This Grade 1 listed building is situated in the heart of the city and has a choice of different rooms available for a ceremony, reception, wedding breakfast and dancing.

This spectacular venue is steeped in over 300 years of history and provides a stunning backdrop to an elegant city wedding.

The Court Room and the Hall are licensed for civil ceremonies. 

The Hall and Garden can be hired exclusively by you for your reception drinks and meal. The courtyard garden is a beautiful green oasis and ideal for drinks on warm spring and summer days.

The Hall will awe your guests as they dine at 340 year old wooden tables under huge stained-glass windows.

The Stationers' Hall are currently offering 10% off venue hire for certain months in 2012 so get in touch if you think this could be the venue for you.
