The Savoy

The Savoy has seen royals, dignitaries and A-list celebrities waltz in and out of its exclusive doors on the Strand. It’s a place where luxury hospitality is redefined and weddings are one of kind. For couples looking for a memorable location to celebrate their love, The Savoy’s team go above and beyond to make it the most special day of your lives. 

Every wedding booking is individualised to meet each couple’s needs and style, all supported by the highly experienced in-house Wedding Coordinator, Bruce Russell, who has the best supplier contacts and industry knowledge. They’ll guide you through every decision and help you design the event you always dreamed of, perfecting each detail from the florals to the music so that your guests are fully entertained from the moment they arrive. 

The hotel is home to a large range of wedding spaces, from intimate dining rooms to a large ballroom with a built-in stage. Whatever your guest list size, there will be room to accommodate your ceremony, cocktail hour and all-night disco. Then, after the wedding draws to a close, there are 267 beautifully appointed bedrooms for you and your guests to retire to, each with an en-suite bathroom, luxurious linens and large windows overlooking the glittering River Thames. 

Top three things you’ll love about your Savoy wedding:

• The Location. The hotel has a fantastic central location, within walking distance of Temple, Embankment and Charing Cross stations. St James’s Park and Victoria Embankment Gardens also make wonderful nearby locations for outdoor photos.
• The Ballroom. For large British, Asian and Jewish celebrations, the Lancaster Ballroom and River Room are perfect places to create a wedding setting for up to 400 guests. The traditional decor and natural light are highly desirable for ceremonies and receptions.
• Accommodation. Your guests can stay in one of the divine bedrooms in The Savoy, which are immaculately designed in either Edwardian or Art Deco Style. Many of them have superb views over the River Thames and they all come with 24/7 butler service.
