8 of the Best Luxurious and Intimate Wedding Venues in London
Smaller guest lists, impeccable attention to detail, hyper personalised touches and beautiful wedding venues that are often harder (and more expensive) to secure for larger weddings, these are just some of the lovely things we’re noticing about the new trend for more intimate weddings.
We love that this shift enables couples to spend their money on precisely what they want with just their nearest and dearest. Below we’ve detailed some of our favourite venues in London for an intimate wedding, in case this is something you fancy doing.
1. The Mitre Hampton Court
Teaming a beautiful riverside wedding venue with a hotel that simply has the coolest, whimsical yet elegant interiors, The Mitre in Hampton Court is a tough one to beat when it comes to intimate wedding spots in London. Steeped in history and character and located right next to Hampton Court Palace, you can host up to 70 of your guests in their Orangery, with the ability to have a further 50 join for the evening party. For the ultimate in luxury, why not arrive by boat to their private mooring and host all your guests within the sumptuous accommodation they have to offer.
