I absolutely love this place for events. The place is straight out of the Harry Potter movies. Food and drinks are good and the staff attentive and helpful. But you go here for the historic, magical setting.

That was a very wonderful day and everything was just perfect. The venue staff are very pleasant and helpful. They even gave us a thoughtful present on that day which was really meaningful to us and all the guests. The food was very nice too. Not to mention the venue itself is very beautiful.

It is like a country house but in the centre of London. The food is amazing and the staff are always friendly but professional. If i was looking to host a big event or wedding i couldn't think of anywhere which is more special in London.

With an amazing venue interior and an excellent food/catering service, I couldn’t rate Ironmonger Hall any more highly.

An amazing place. Very historical.
Colin&Emma M
We fell in love with Ironmongers' the first time we visited. The venue was ideal for our civil ceremony. It has the wow factor and manages to combine grandeur with an intimate atmosphere. We got married in December and the Hall looked fantastic with a Christmas tree and candlelight. Throughout the planning and on the day, Alina (Events Coordinator at Ironmongers'), was amazing. Her attention to detail, professional approach and desire to ensure we had the perfect event made a massive difference. Cannot recommend this venue and the team highly enough, if you are looking for a central London venue.
Julia F
Atmosphere is unique and traditional. Very beautiful halls and rooms. I would say it’s posh.
Julia F

Anthony L
A great venue, well looked after in a superb building restored after bomb damage during the First World War. Nice staff and great ambience.
Rebecca C
We held our wedding (ceremony and reception) at Ironmongers' Hall and we had an absolutely fantastic day. The Hall is a beautiful venue with a lot of character; it has all of the convenience of a City location, with a lot of historic charm and a quintessentially London feel. Paulina and the team couldn't have been more helpful and professional both in helping us plan the wedding and in running the day itself. Nothing was too much trouble and Paulina had lots of great ideas and suggestions to make sure that we and our guests enjoyed the day.

Ironmongers' Hall really was the most perfect wedding venue for our wedding. When I was planning our wedding, we wanted to find a venue that would convince our overseas guests that the trip to the UK had been worthwhile. I must have made a list of over 100 venues in the UK. Ironmongers' Hall is firstly, stunning. It's hidden in the Barbican, and it's like a secret gem. The inside is a grand, gorgeous building. The Great Hall is impressive as is the reception room. Every detail is gorgeous, from the lights to the paintings and the furniture. The atmosphere is romantic and otherworldly. Most importantly though, the team at Ironmongers' Hall is incredibly professional and kind. There were so many venues and weddings I've been to that felt impersonal. However, Paulina and her team made an effort from the very beginning to make us feel welcome. We had some last minute emergencies - our alcohol order was cancelled, and we wouldn't have known EXCEPT for the fact that the team gave us a call the day before the wedding. On the day of the wedding, everything ran like clockwork. Everyone commented on the service and the atmosphere. It felt like we had entered a different world - candlelight, history, beautiful music - it really was magical. I highly recommend this gem as a wedding venue.

Great place for our wedding in Sept 2018. Staff very friendly and helpful. Done everything how we wanted. Thank you so much!

Charlotte C
Fantastic venue and amazing value for money! Alina and the team helped right the way through from initial planning till the end of the evening. The venue is simply stunning, the staff are excellent and the catering was of a very high standard.

We would like to thank Paulina, Gabor and their team for everything they did to make our wedding such a huge success. Location: it's very central and it works perfectly for our international guests. I love that it's a hidden gem. Low-key yet classy. Also perfect for site visits and meetings if you work in the City. Venue: We fell in love with the Ironmongers' Hall the first time we saw it. The venue was breathtaking: the grand staircase, the banqueting hall, the courtroom, the little cute courtyard, the fireplaces, the portraits, the sculptures, the furniture...Everything was so charming that we didn't even need to decorate the venue with any flowers. The candelabras and ivy were already enough for the sit-down meal. Food: amazing. My husband is from Spain and I am from Hong Kong. Our guests were from the UK, Australia, Thailand and all over the world - everyone from different cultures was very happy with the food. DJ and music: we strongly suggest anyone who's going to hire the Hall to use the same DJ company. The DJ made our evening a memorable one and people like my dad who never danced, actually danced on the day! Service: excellent. One of the reasons, if not the most important reason, for us to choose the Hall was Paulina. She was friendly, smart, professional, efficient, responsive, honest, flexible with requests and with a good sense of humour. There was almost no stress when it came to the logistics on the day. Paulina and her team made it work like clockwork. Everything went perfectly on the day and all our guests were extremely happy. You can't ask for more from an experienced event manager. It made a huge difference on the wedding day - thank you Paulina, Gabor and team!

Nice, authentic place for ceremonies and gatherings.

Ironmongers' Hall was a wonderful, wonderful wedding venue. We feel exactly the same as the previous review, it is a hidden gem in the city. It was a perfect place for our winter wedding - a beautiful, elegant dining room lit with candles, plus lots of space for our guests to wander around and chat. The food was by far and away the best we've had at a wedding and indeed most restaurants. The meat was beautifully cooked and melted under your knife, bread-and-butter pudding could have been heavy risk but it was lovely and light and tasty. The cheese and biscuits finished the night off nicely and it was all washed down with some good wine and great service. Paulina and the team were fantastic and are the reason that the event was a success. We were so grateful to her for the way that she managed everything in the weeks leading up to the event and on the day itself, everything was done professionally, thoughtfully, pleasantly and Paulina and her team made the celebrations possible and successful. And it didn't stop there, they carried on being helpful in the days after the wedding. Everybody had a wonderful time and all commented on how beautiful the venue was, how good the food was, how good the staff were and how much fun they had. Thank you to Paulina and the team!
