Weddings in London

Traditions and style

London weddings are wonderfully varied, reflecting the city's rich mix of cultures and faiths. Many couples begin with a ceremony at a register office or town hall, often followed by a blessing or religious service in a church, mosque, temple, gurdwara or synagogue. Receptions range from elegant livery hall dinners to relaxed warehouse parties, with an evening party for dancing and late-night street food. Guests might enjoy a drinks reception, a sit-down meal, speeches, a first dance, and traditions from the couple's backgrounds, from the throwing of the bouquet to the breaking of the glass, or a baraat procession. The style is often modern and cosmopolitan, with a nod to British tradition, and the guest list can include family from across the world.

Where couples marry

Couples choose from a huge range of settings: historic livery halls, modern rooftop terraces with views of the Shard, riverside venues along the Thames, and charming pubs with secret gardens. Many opt for a spring or summer wedding to make the most of longer days, while winter weddings in the city have their own magic, with twinkling lights and cosy interiors. Famous landmarks like Tower Bridge, the London Eye and St Paul's Cathedral often feature in wedding photographs, whether as a backdrop for portraits or as part of a sightseeing tour for guests. The city's parks, such as Hyde Park and Regent's Park, also provide lovely spots for photos.
