It’s easy to see why people feel overwhelmed when planning a wedding in London. With an endless reel of choice of venues and packages to choose from, finding the one that both matches your budget and style can leave you feeling a little lost.
However, before you panic and throw in the towel, first breathe. We’ve got your back.
In this article, we’ll dive into some useful ways for you to navigate the best London wedding packages and feel great about the choices you make in the early stages of planning your wedding. Whether it’s doing a deep-dive into what’s included, thinking outside the box, or exploring unique hotel venues, we’re here to guide you towards the perfect London wedding package for your plans.
Research Smartly
When you’re hunting down the perfect wedding package, it’s tempting to be led by per-head costing, however we’re here to tell you, it’s worth taking a look at what you’re actually getting in your deal first.
You’ll find that some venues offer comprehensive packages that include various elements of the wedding, like catering, décor, lighting, entertainment, and more. Others take a more minimal approach to their packages and provide only the empty space for you to fill with your preferred suppliers. We always encourage couples to avoid making assumptions and check, check, check. This is how you’ll know you’re getting your money’s worth, as well as avoiding unexpected costs down the line.
A great example of this is Plaisterers’ Hall — a gorgeous, historic hall in the heart of London. Their Lace Package includes things like atmospheric lighting, sleek tablewares, a parquetry dancefloor and stage, and large candelabras.
More inclusive packages like this save you the time and effort of bundling together multiple services, leaving you free to focus on less stressful areas of planning.
Think Outside the Box
When you think of London, you immediately think of the grander places to get married, such as its many historic venues. However, looking into locations that offer unique and unconventional settings can help to make your wedding uniquely yours.
Take Humble Grape at Canary Wharf, a restaurant wedding venue that offers a host of innovative options to help couples express their individuality when planning their wedding.
Located in the heart of Canary Wharf, this wine bar offers a fresh and cultured atmosphere, perfect for elegant, stylish ceremonies and meals. As well as their versatile wedding packages, they deliver quirky touches like personalised wine labels, and the option to create your own wedding wine.
It’s the little things like these that form unique pieces of your wedding puzzle, allowing you to create something that reflects both of your personalities.
Consider Hotels in London
When people picture weddings, they see churches, country houses, grand halls – not necessarily hotels. But, believe it or not, hotels are a popular choice for hosting weddings, especially in London.
The beauty of hiring a hotel is that not only is everything under one roof, but they often have all-inclusive wedding packages that cover every aspect of your big day. In fact, the pricing can be quite competitive when compared to dry-hire venues where you need to organise every service or vendor.
A top pick for hotel weddings is Nobu Hotel London in Portman Square. Its ‘everything in’ wedding packages include a myriad of convenient services like zen-inspired guest accommodation, luxurious Japanese catering, and complimentary suites for the happy couple.
Choosing a hotel with comprehensive packages like this means you can streamline your planning process. You can also enjoy the convenience of having almost everything handled by one easy-to-reach provider. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
