Your London Wedding - January/February 2021 (Issue 75)

MUSEUM OF LONDON DOCKLANDS 020 7814 5789 | www.museumoflondon.org.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? Bordered by the River Thames and West India Quay, the Museum of London Docklands offers beautiful views over the water and the iconic Canary Wharf skyline. Couples can make the most of the location with a drinks reception on the terrace. Located over five floors, this Grade I listed Georgian warehouse seamlessly blends contemporary decor with historic charm. Tracing the 2,000-year history of London’s river, port and people, it offers a selection of beautiful settings with features such as exposed brickwork, Caribbean pine columns, galleries and blank-canvas spaces. LET’S CELEBRATE! Vows take place in four characterful spaces, from the intimate No. 1 Warehouse Gallery (30 guests) to the large and flexible Wilberforce Room (200 guests). Post vows, couples can combine the ceremony rooms with some of the incredible galleries to host their drinks reception and after party (up to 400 guests), all of which offer a truly memorable big day. WE LOVE… Couples will love having access to the galleries. The immersive Sailortown is a crowd-pleasing recreation of a London district, complete with its own pub. Adding actors to mingle with guests will boost the experience. RICH MIX 020 7613 7495 | www.richmix.org.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? Found in London’s East End, Rich Mix is a former garment factory now transformed into a multi-arts venue, which offers a quirky alternative to more traditional settings. The surrounding streets of Shoreditch make for a fabulous East London backdrop, and couples will love the venue’s two large-scale murals for a memorable photo opportunity. This vibrant venue is host to a year-round programme of diverse cultural events and has a number of versatile wedding options from quirky theatre spaces to boutique cinema screens, all of which can be customised or themed. LET’S CELEBRATE! Ceremonies take place in one of three boutique cinema screens (up to 181 guests), which were named by Vogue in the 10 most attractive cinemas in London. Post-vow celebrations for up to 375 loved ones can be held in any of the venue’s event spaces, from the modern blank-canvas feel of The Mix to the informal, creative Mezzanine Gallery. WE LOVE… Couples can make the most of the setting with a range of cinema-themed extras from personalised ticket invitations and popcorn favours to having their names on the cinema’s light box.
