MAKING HISTORY City venues with a story to tell BMA HOUSE 020 7874 7020 | https://bmahouse.org.uk WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? The impressive exterior of this Grade II listed venue reflects the building’s rich history. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1911, the building holds many telltale details inside and out. Outside, the Courtyard and Garden are two hidden gems in the heart of London. Filled with plants and botanicals, the area provides a wonderful al fresco spot for drinks receptions, while the wrought-iron gates and fountain centrepiece offer a fairytale backdrop for photos. LET’S CELEBRATE! There are 20 spaces for celebrations here, each offering its own character, elegant high ceilings and plenty of natural light. The largest space at BMA House is the Great Hall (200 ceremony guests and 300 evening guests). This breathtaking environment boasts a high ceiling, Corinthian columns and beautifully large windows. Smaller parties will love the intimate Prince’s Room (60 ceremony guests and 75 evening guests). Those wishing to get outdoors can hold their post-vow celebrations in the Courtyard (300 guests) and the Garden (90 guests), which are available for open-air buffets. The Garden pairs perfectly with the Garden Room, a contemporary space boasting a botanical theme. WE LOVE… All couples will benefit from a complimentary menu tasting, and packages are flexible to include a number of wonderful additions to suit the day and budget.
