There are five different venues to choose from inside this iconic hotel, with the Hansom Hotel suitable for up to 280 guests, while more intimate weddings are suited to The Gallery. You can even host a champagne reception on the Grand Staircase as a part of your big day just like Flavia and Jimi. See more details at the St. Pancras Renaissance website.
Stationers Hall
This historic 16th-century venue was the setting for Kate Silverton's wedding reception, and boasts a prime location just a stone's throw away from St. Paul's Cathedral. The hall has four different rooms as well as a private and secluded garden that can play host to drinks' receptions and wedding photos. Venue hire fees range between £3,950 and £4,950 plus VAT, and it is also licenced for civil ceremonies. For more information see stationershall.co.uk/private-hire/weddings.
Westminster Boating Base
Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews chose to host their second wedding at Westminster Boating Base, which is located next to the River Thames, with panoramic views.

Chelsea Town Hall
While their main ceremony was hosted in West Sussex, Millie Mackintosh and Hugo Taylor first tied the knot in an official service at Chelsea Old Town Hall. The couple, who shared their wedding photos exclusively with HELLO!, had two rooms to choose from at the venue, which is located close to where they live together in west London.
Oswald's
Unfortunately, you’ll have to be a member if you want to follow in the foosteps of Katharine McPhee and David Foster by celebrating your wedding reception at Oswald’s. The private member’s club is located in Mayfair, and opened in 2018, with its décor said to take inspiration from the magnificent Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. No wonder, then, that the celebrity couple chose to host their friends and family at the club following their ceremony at St Yeghiche Armenian Apostolic Church in Kensington in June.
Spencer House
Chloe Delevingne, the older sister of models Poppy and Cara, hosted her second wedding ceremony to Ed Grant at Spencer House in 2014. The 18th century mansion is one of the last private palaces in London and can host up to 450 guests, with several different rooms to choose from, including Lady Spencer’s Room for more intimate events, and the Great Room for larger weddings. Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch also tied the knot here in March 2016.
Old Marylebone Town Hall
There's something about Old Marylebone Town Hall that makes it a favourite among celebrities including Sir Paul McCartney (pictured), who married Nancy Shevell here in October 2011, as well as Liam Gallagher who married both Patsy Kensit and Nicole Appleton in the venue. Claudia Winkleman married Kris Thykier at the venue in 2000, while Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas also tied the knot there.
There are seven ceremony rooms to choose from in the recently-renovated venue, the largest of which is the Westminster Room, which seats up to 100 guests. Better still, you don't need a celebrity budget to marry here; from April you can expect to pay £684 to marry on a Saturday afternoon during peak season, or as little as £481 for a weekday wedding.

Kew Gardens
Fearne Cotton and husband Jesse Wood hosted their wedding reception at the beautiful Orangery at Kew Gardens, a Grade I listed glasshouse that served as the perfect backdrop for her star-studded nuptials. Couples can choose from four venues within Kew Gardens to host their wedding; the Nash Conservatory, the Temperate House, Cambridge Cottage, or the Orangery that Fearne chose. Prices start at £7,000 + VAT Monday to Thursday, while it is only available Friday to Sunday as part of the multi-venue hire package, with prices from £11,500 + VAT. Visit kew.org/venue-hire for more details.
The Arts Club
Unfortunately, you won't be able to follow in the footsteps of Christine and Frank Lampard with a wedding at The Arts Club, unless you're a member of the exclusive club. The couple hosted their wedding ceremony here in December 2015, following a ceremony at the nearby St Paul's Church in Knightsbridge.
Kensington Palace
Both Nicky Hilton and Poppy Delevingne were royalty for the day at their nuptials, which they each hosted at Kensington Palace. There are several spots around the palace and its grounds that are available to book for weddings, including the King's Gallery and King's Drawing Room within the palace, or the beautiful Sunken Garden, where Prince Harry and Meghan posed for photos after announcing their engagement in November 2017.
Only one spot at the palace is licenced for civil ceremonies; The Orangery located in the grounds of Kensington Palace can hold 150 guests for the ceremony, 120 for dinner and dancing and up to 300 for a reception. The historic building is where Nicky Hilton hosted her lavish wedding to James Rothschild in 2015. However, all of the other spaces can be booked for wedding receptions, and are sure to add a royal touch to proceedings. In the summer, couples throwing a huge wedding for up to 1,000 guests could celebrate on The Orangery lawn, while the Cupola Room would be a stunning backdrop for a more intimate reception dinner for up to 80 guests.
