What is included in the venue hire for weddings?

Venue hire includes security and cleaning for the live event, access to the Grade II listed cloakroom facilities, and use of the iconic Bronze Tower Doors entrance. The hire covers your chosen space(s) during the specified access times, with the venue's stunning Art Deco features and architectural details as your backdrop.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at the venue?

Yes, 60 Great Queen Street offers exclusive venue hire allowing access to multiple spaces for a complete wedding experience.

What are the setup and breakdown arrangements for weddings?

Rig and de-rig days are available at 50% discount on the venue hire rate. This allows time for elaborate wedding setups, floral arrangements, and decorations to be installed before your celebration and removed afterward without impacting your main event day.

Are there restrictions on wedding entertainment or music?

The venue does not allow concerts due to licensing terms, but wedding entertainment such as bands, DJs, and live music for celebrations are permitted. The Grand Temple requires all AV equipment to be brought in, and the venue can recommend approved suppliers for sound, lighting, and entertainment needs.

What makes The Egyptian Room special for wedding ceremonies?

The Egyptian Room is described as a hidden gem rich in opulence and grandeur, perfect for intimate ceremonies with capacity for 150 guests. However, it's only available on selected dates throughout the year, making it an exclusive choice that requires early booking to secure.

How does the guest journey work for weddings at the venue?

Wedding guests enter through the iconic Bronze Tower Doors into the Grade II listed cloakroom, then ascend the sweeping marble staircase to The Vestibules for drinks reception. When ready for the main celebration, The Grand Temple doors open for a dramatic wow-factor moment as guests enter the awe-inspiring space with its handcrafted mosaic ceiling.
