THE MAINE MAYFAIR
020 3432 2192 | www.themainemayfair.com
The MAINE Mayfair blends old-world British Elegance, New England extravagance and a touch of subterranean decadence, making it the perfect setting for a relaxed post-wedding celebration.
There’s a choice of rooms over three floors including The Brasserie, The Tavern, The Drawing Room and a year-round hidden terrace.
Directly off Bond Street and overlooking Medici Courtyard, in a tranquil sun-filled spot just off Hanover Square, the newly opened terrace is a hidden gem. Here, striped awnings, elegant wicker furniture and plenty of greenery provide the perfect backdrop for long, sunshine filled lunches and early evening dinners throughout the summer months.
The entire venue can be privately hired for your big day and can host up to 350 guests with The Terrace alone accommodating 100. For the party animals out there, The Brasserie has a stage in the centre of the room where live bands can play to take you into the evening.
TREEHOUSE LONDON

Although this venue isn’t truly outdoors, you’ll be forgiven for thinking that you are! Perfectly placed high above London’s Regent Street, Treehouse Hotel provides the ideal location and backdrop for your reception.
Celebrate and entertain in one of the hotel’s two thoughtfully designed and tech-ready private rooms or for larger parties of up to 350 guests, make a statement and take over the hotel’s restaurant, Madera at Treehouse London. Alternatively, hire Pizzeria Mozza restaurant for 120 seated guests or 200 reception style. This space is designed to feel as though you are transported to a wild Mediterranean garden with lush interior planting and trees.
Take your gathering to new heights and fly up to The Nest, the 16th floor rooftop bar and lounge boasting a wrap-around terrace and breath-taking views of London. This area can be hired exclusively for up to 100 guests in a reception style inside, or when the weather’s nice up to 200 with the wrap-around terraces. The west facing terrace can also be booked privately for up to 100 people in the spring and summer months and its heaters and awnings offer protection from the testing London weather.
LE GOTHIQUE
020 8870 6567 | https://legothique.co.uk
The Grade II* listed Victorian Gothic-revival facade of Le Gothique is one of the best original exteriors of its kind in Britain. The spectacular towering spires, gargoyles and large statue of St. George give it a dreamy castle-like feel. An enchanting award-winning Secret Garden is found tucked within the venue. The perfect al fresco space for celebrations, it can be covered, heated and lit. A hard-standing patio with a barbecue is surrounded by neatly striped lawns and hanging floral baskets. Inside, the space is split into two levels, with formal dining on the mezzanine floor and a Gothic bar occupying the ground floor. A bronze statue of Bacchus, the god of wine, adorns the west wall.
Outdoor weddings with 250 loved ones are accommodated in the Secret Garden and celebrations can also be held inside the venue in the Gothic Room for a maximum of 90 guests.
The venue can also help couples arrive in style with its vintage Rolls Royce to hire.

THE GORING
020 7396 9000 | www.thegoring.com
Built in 1910 on a quiet, leafy street in Belgravia and designed by the fashionable Edwardian architect, John Evelyn Trollope, The Goring is an elegant example of Edwardian Baroque. The neatly lined windows framed by light red brick, set against the large flowing union jack flags have become a well-recognised address. Interiors have been theatrically designed by Russell Sage. The glamorous Front Hall which is decked in hand-painted wallpaper depicting an English parkland – into which wild animals have escaped sets the subtle theme that continues throughout and outdoors the Goring’s Goring Garden is a delightful secret haven. You can choose from four rooms for your celebrations here. Accommodating 100 guests, the Garden Room is the largest and features its own conservatory area with a sliding wall of glass leading out to the gardens. Holder of a Michelin star and three AA Rosettes, The Dining Room offers an impeccable dining experience for 80 guests. Overlooking the garden, The Veranda caters for 40 guests and sits in a beautiful pavilion, linking the outdoor and indoor spaces and the Drawing Room has the relaxed sophistication of a grand English country house or a chic private city residence seating 12 loved ones.
In January 2013, The Goring was granted a Royal Warrant of appointment to HM the Queen for Hospitality Services, and in 2016 The Dining Room was awarded its first Michelin star.
