Wedding Locations
An ANdAZ wedding will take your breath away. Our glamorous, decadent and opulent settings provide the perfect backdrop for the biggest day of your life.
The hotel features 14 very different but equally spectacular event spaces in which to share the day - from the ceremony through to dinner and reception - with your guests.
Below are just a few examples of what we have to offer:
GREAT EASTERN ROOM AND GALLERY
(Accommodates 170 for dinner with dancing, 500 for a reception)
More contemporary in style, our six-storey Gallery is both bright and spacious. It greets guests as they arrive on the first floor through the lift by our rotunda, architecturally inspired by New York's Guggenheim museum.
The Gallery leads through to the Great Eastern Room, perfect for creating your dream reception and evening dance. With contemporary coloured lighting, it's simple and streamlined so you can indulge your fancies.
(Accommodates 30 for dinner, 80 for an intimate reception)
The Temple was originally the City of London's Freemasons Masonic hall. A bust of the grand master, the Duke Of Connaught, greets you as the solid oak doors are drawn back.
Our Temple dates back to 1864. In fitting with the era it is bedecked with rare and priceless marble. Doric and Ionic architectural features surround imposing moveable thrones at each end of the hall.
THE ANdAZ STUDIO
ANdAZ Studio is new to London, and presents a unique concept in dining and entertaining. This is an intimate space with private entrance. Guests may think you have opened your own exclusive members club.
