What are the capacity limits and minimum spend requirements for wedding receptions at St Pancras Brasserie?

The Brasserie can accommodate up to 180 guests for a seated dinner and dance or up to 250 for a standing reception. For exclusive hire, there's a £2,000 hire fee plus minimum spend requirements: £14,400 on Tuesday/Wednesday, £16,400 on Thursday, and £23,400 for larger events. A 13% discretionary service charge applies to the final bill but doesn't count toward the minimum spend.

What payment schedule is required to secure the wedding venue?

To proceed with booking, you need to pay 50% of the minimum spend plus 100% of the hire fee upfront, along with a signed contract. The remainder of the minimum spend must be paid at least 30 days prior to the event taking place.

What's included with exclusive hire of the Brasserie for weddings?

Exclusive hire includes a dedicated event planner, guest list check-in, cloakroom service, full staffing, and security. The venue also has a licence for live music and can accommodate background music or entertainment, though external entertainment suppliers are charged separately.

What are the typical operating hours and time restrictions for wedding events?

Wedding events typically run from 19:00 to 23:30 for exclusive hire, though times can be customized. The venue can accommodate events from early evening through to late night, with closing times varying based on the specific arrangement and space booked.

What catering options and pricing are available for wedding celebrations?

Searcys offers seasonal menus using fresh British produce, with prices starting from £50 per person for the Classic 3-course menu. You can upgrade to Soirée or Deluxe options, or create completely bespoke packages to suit your requirements. All catering counts toward your minimum spend requirement.

Are there restrictions on music, entertainment, or decorations for wedding events?

The venue has a licence for live music and can accommodate entertainment, but external artists and suppliers are charged separately. For semi-private spaces, music may not be allowed as it could interfere with regular service in other areas of the venue. The venue works with various external entertainment suppliers to make events special.

What spaces are available for different parts of a wedding celebration?

The venue offers multiple spaces including the main Brasserie for exclusive hire (up to 180 seated/250 standing), the Champagne Lounge (up to 50 guests), and the Kitchen Bar (up to 50 seated/100 standing). The Champagne Bar English Wing can accommodate up to 150 guests standing and requires an additional £500 toward the minimum spend for outdoor reception use.

Can couples have both ceremony and reception at St Pancras Brasserie?

The venue can be transformed into a stunning wedding venue and offers flexible spaces for different parts of your celebration. With exclusive hire of the Brasserie, you have access to the full space which can accommodate both ceremony and reception elements, though specific ceremony arrangements would need to be discussed with the events team.

What's the booking timeline and how far in advance should couples inquire?

The venue requires a signed contract and deposits to secure dates, with final payments due 30 days before the event. Given the popularity of the venue and limited availability for exclusive hire, couples should inquire well in advance, especially for peak wedding seasons and weekend dates.

Are there any additional fees or charges couples should budget for?

Beyond the hire fee and minimum spend, budget for the 13% discretionary service charge on your total bill. External entertainment, special decorations, or additional services like extended hours may incur separate charges. Cloakroom service is included with exclusive hire, but semi-private bookings may not have cloakroom access.
