Weddings in London & Beyond
​Our love of London
London is a melting pot of culture, creativity, and timeless elegance – from its vibrant music scene and cutting-edge fashion to its iconic architecture and world-renowned nightlife. For couples planning a wedding, this city offers a dazzling array of incredible venues, no matter your budget or style.
Whether you’re after something grand and luxurious or quirky and intimate, London has it all.
To help you navigate your options, we’ve put together some tips on how to choose your perfect wedding venue – you can dive into our blog for more details.
​
Of course, the UK as a whole boasts some of the most breathtaking wedding venues around, and if you need a hand finding the perfect spot, we are always here to assist.
At Whole Lotta Love, it's all part of the service.
​
Below, we’ve highlighted a few of our favourite London venues. But don’t worry if you don’t spot yours on the list – there are just too many incredible places to fit onto one page! Rest assured, we work with the best venues across the capital and beyond to bring your dream wedding to life.
Choosing the right wedding venue
​
Your wedding venue is one of the most important decisions you'll make – it sets the tone for your entire celebration and becomes the backdrop to every moment. So, it's crucial to do your research and find a place that feels right for you. And don't worry, we’re here to help guide you through every step of the process.
​
One of the things we absolutely love is when couples opt for blank canvas dry-hire venues. These allow us to completely transform the space and infuse your personality into every detail, creating something truly unique. Alternatively, venues that break away from the traditional hotel setup – think sprawling gardens, lofty ceilings, and an abundance of natural light – give us plenty of room to bring your vision to life.
​
When selecting your venue, consider factors like budget, guest numbers, and the overall aesthetic. You want a space that not only fits the logistical aspects of your day but also reflects you as a couple. It's all about finding that perfect place that allows you to bring your dream wedding to life with ease and style.

One Friendly Place Deptford​​​​
This incredible 1930s warehouse space is a truly unique wedding venue that I adore. It’s big, 7500sq feet, spread over 4 floors and even has a roof terrace. It’s full of industrial chic backdrops, a decaying conservatory, and the whole interior is full of incredible vintage boudoir-like furniture, resembling a rockstar pad. Loads of parking, a large kitchen that can be used for catering. Just incredible!
