CITY OF LONDON VENUE
HAPPILY EVER AFTER STARTS HERE…
Here at Fortnum’s, we know a thing or two about spreading joy – and there are few more joyful occasions in life than when two people tie the knot.
We have everything you need to celebrate your wedding, from unique venues in which to say ’I Do’ to private spaces to pop the cork on your engagement parties, bridal brunches, usher lunches, and pre-wedding dinners.
EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE
From the moment we meet you to the pop of the very last cork, you can expect only exceptional service for your wedding with us.
With the keenest eye for detail, and where no request is too big or too small, it’s our absolute pleasure to ensure you and your guests celebrate in the most spectacular way.
EXTRAORDINARY FOOD
Food is our passion and dining our speciality. Your menu will be at the heart of the planning, and before the wedding feast takes place, you can enjoy a complimentary tasting with our in-house chefs.
Expect menus brimming with seasonal ingredients from long-established suppliers to Fortnum’s.
PERFECT PARTNERS
It’s important to work with suppliers you trust for an important occasion such as your wedding. We have preferred suppliers we can recommend that are based on long-established relationships, but we are very happy for you to use suppliers of your choosing.
