Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pricing packages for Christmas events and what's included?
Christmas packages start at £138 per person excluding VAT (£165.60 including VAT). This includes a traditional three-course festive dinner with coffee and mince pies, welcome drinks, half bottle of house wine per person, hire of Main Hall, Court Room and Stock Room from 18:00-23:30, and cash bar facilities. Traditional Christmas decorations including trees are provided.
What are the capacity limits for different event formats?
The venue can accommodate up to 200 guests for seated awards ceremonies or wedding ceremonies and receptions. For standing receptions, the maximum capacity is 330 guests. The Main Hall can seat up to 200 for formal dinners and ceremonies.
What are the dry hire rates and minimum requirements?
Exclusive dry hire is £5,000 plus VAT with hire times typically from 10:00 to 18:00. For Saturday wedding ceremonies only, the rate is £2,000 plus VAT for 11:00-13:00. There is a minimum requirement of 100 guests for Thursday events.
What are the summer package rates and minimum spend requirements?
Summer packages start at £120 per person. Based on correspondence, this pricing would result in £18,000 for 150 guests, which was noted as exceeding some clients' budgets, indicating this is the minimum rate structure for summer events.
Which spaces are available for ceremonies and receptions?
The Court Room overlooks the Garden with direct access via a decorative wrought iron staircase, featuring Rococo ornamentation and an 18th century carved mantelpiece - ideal for ceremonies. The Main Hall features gleaming oak flooring, carved oak paneling from the 1600s, and huge stained-glass windows, accommodating up to 200 guests for receptions.
What are the typical event timings and setup requirements?
Events typically run with setup access a few hours before start time. Wedding ceremonies run 11:00-13:00 or can be part of full day hire 10:00-18:00. Christmas events typically run 18:00-23:30. Clients need several hours before events for setup, and the venue can transform spaces between ceremony and reception.
What catering arrangements are required and what's the approval process?
For dry hire events, clients must provide their preferred caterer for the venue to review their credentials and approve. The venue does not automatically include catering in dry hire packages, and all external caterers must be vetted by the venue before approval.
How far in advance should I book and what's the availability like?
The venue books up quickly, particularly for popular dates. Multiple enquiries show dates being unavailable within short timeframes, with alternative dates often suggested. December dates for Christmas events and summer dates appear to have the highest demand and book earliest.
What budget range should I expect for different event types?
Budgets vary significantly by event type: Christmas packages from £165.60 per person including VAT, summer packages from £120 per person, dry hire from £2,000-£5,000 plus VAT depending on day and duration. The venue regularly declines enquiries that don't meet minimum budget thresholds.
What outdoor space is available and how does it integrate with indoor areas?
The venue features a secluded garden that's popular for summer parties and receptions. The Court Room has direct access to the Garden via a decorative wrought iron staircase, allowing seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The garden provides a private outdoor space within the City of London setting.
