Your London Wedding - November/December 2020 (Issue 74)

NO.11 CAVENDISH SQUARE 020 7307 2474 | www.11cavendishsq.com WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? No.11 Cavendish Square is fronted by an elegant townhouse dating back to the 1760s. The building suffered from bombing during World War II, evidence of which can still be seen on the exterior stonework. Entering through an impressive hallway, guests find the venue is a fabulous blend of historical and modern, with a pretty courtyard connecting the two periods. Surrounded by a living wall, which is elegant throughout winter with dark green foliage, this secluded courtyard in the heart of the West End is a memorable backdrop for photos. LET’S CELEBRATE! Celebrations are held in three spaces for up to 200 ceremony guests and 300 evening guests. The Garden Room, which was once a library and still features floor-to-ceiling bookcases, offers a charming setting for intimate nuptials. The elegant and versatile Orangery is a light and contemporary glass structure with a courtyard garden – its array of LED lighting sets the mood for the evening. Larger parties will love The Burdett Suite. A sophisticated space, it offers state-of-the-art facilities for the modern couple. WE LOVE… Couples receive a complimentary menu tasting as well as a wedding-night stay at the four-star Chesterfield Hotel in Mayfair. ONE GREAT GEORGE STREET 020 7665 2363 | www.onegreatgeorgestreet.com WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? Situated in the heart of Westminster, One Great George Street is surrounded by iconic London sights. A stunning Grade II listed Edwardian building, it was designed by James Miller in Neo- Palladian style and is home to the Institution of Civil Engineers. Visitors step inside to find the Main Hall, which is flooded with light from the skylight dome three floors above. The beautiful State Rooms feature French walnut panelling, twinkling chandeliers and ornate gold details. The Grand Staircase and interior balcony offer wonderful photo opportunities – whatever the weather. LET’S CELEBRATE! The venue is hired on an exclusive-use basis for up to 220 family and friends. Couples can choose to hold their celebrations in one of the glorious State Rooms, with their timeless mantelpieces and central drop chandeliers, or perhaps the impressive Great Hall, with its marble columned walls and painted ceiling. The Grand Staircase and Main Hall is an exquisite big-day backdrop with intricate iron railings, stone columns and antique busts. The venue prides itself on a first-class in-house catering service, but it welcomes authorised caterers for specific cuisines. WE LOVE… The venue will offer packages for weekday hire for intimate weddings up until January 2021.
