Weddings at The Waldorf Hilton in London

This sensational London hotel wedding venue is beyond compare! Imagine hosting the day of your dreams on an authentic film set from the all-time Leonardo Di Caprio classic, ‘Titanic’. The Waldorf Hilton’s movie-star Palm Court and stately Adelphi Suite combine to create an awe-inspiring ballroom wedding venue in the heart of the West End, on the doorstep to the London’s legendary theatre district and bustling markets in Covent Garden. 


The Scene at The Waldorf Hilton

UNIQUE – ROMANTIC – ELEGANT

The Waldorf Hilton stands out as one of the most unique large wedding venues that central London has to offer. The palatial hotel dates back to 1908, and it stands today as a remarkable example of refined Edwardian architecture. To keep up its immaculate appearance, the stone frontage has recently undergone a period of restoration, providing a majestic first impression as your guests arrive at the smart manned entrance. 

Harmoniously blending with London’s most quintessential buildings, The Waldorf Hilton is every inch the grand dame. Its luxury 4-star hotel accommodation will provide your guests with the ultimate wedding experience, as London’s must-see attractions are all within walking distance, including Trafalgar Square, the British Museum and the Royal Opera House.

Weddings at the Waldorf Hilton are synonymous with understated elegance and style. Its two enchanting ballroom venues provide exceptional settings for large English weddings, as well as lavish Asian Mandap celebrations. Whether you decide to hire the function rooms separately or together, the dedicated events team can create a seamless event flow that suits your vision.


Wedding Ceremonies at Waldorf Hilton 

Ceremony Highlights:

  • Two incredible ceremony venue options that are licensed for up to 300 and 350 guests
  • Asian wedding ceremonies and Mandaps are welcomed in both function spaces

Palm Court is the most popular ceremony venue in the Waldorf Hilton Hotel. Its heavenly light-filled interior has a beautiful conservatory atmosphere. The sweeping marble room is lit by a vast opaque glass ceiling and antique street lamps. As if plucked from the pages of a fairy tale, the romantic staircase makes a memorable setting for the bride and groom to say their vows.  

Adjacent to Palm Court, the Adelphi Suite is a huge ballroom with crystal chandeliers, soaring white pillars and neutral taupe toned carpets. The large uninterrupted suite is perfect for large civil and Mandap ceremonies, and the room’s length lends itself to an extended wedding aisle.

Waldorf Hilton wedding ceremonies are very exclusive, as the Palm Court and Adelphi Suite have their own private entrance just for you and your wedding party. So, you can rest assured that your ceremony will be a personal moment, undisturbed by any other hotel guests.


Wedding Receptions at Waldorf Hilton

Reception Highlights:

  • Dry hire is available if you would prefer to serve cultural cuisine at your wedding
  • The Waldorf Hilton has a late 1am licence so you can dance on into the night

Mixing resplendent old-world charm with the latest amenities and technology, The Waldorf Hilton Hotel has everything you need to host an unforgettable London wedding reception. 

Palm Court is a breathtaking ballroom space for a wedding breakfast or drinks reception, where guests can dine surrounded by symmetrical polished mirrors, lofty palm trees and a celestial opaque glass roof. A raised floor terrace and wrought iron balustrade traces the edge of the room, giving a rounded and dynamic feel to the central reception space. 

Across the hall, the graceful Executive Boardroom makes for an ideal break out area or bridal changing room. Surrounded by wooden panelling and historic paintings, it’s a tranquil space away from the main action, where you can set up extra entertainment for children, or store secondary bridal outfits ahead of the evening reception celebrations. 

The Adelphi Suite is the second ballroom reception space on offer at the Waldorf Hilton Hotel, adjoined to Palm Court. The sweeping room is hidden behind polished mirror doors and makes a great surprise for guests as they are led through to an impeccable table layout for up to 380 people. Set up a lively dance floor beneath the sparkling chandeliers and send them back in time to the glamorous Jazz Age era.

With a late licence of 1am and 298 4-star hotel bedrooms on offer at the hotel, your guests can dance the night away without the worry of time or travel once the wedding reception draws to a close. Why not make your wedding last the weekend with a wedding breakfast the next day, and a private tour of London’s cultural delights? The sky is the limit when it comes to creating your perfect wedding reception at the Waldorf Hilton.

The hotel itself is beautiful and in a brilliant location. The staff couldn't be more helpful and their customer service was exceptional.

The staff, the rooms, the food, the service and the atmosphere were top class. Having the right venue and the right staff are two main ingredients for success for any event and the Waldorf delivered big time. Added to this, the food was divine and all of our guests commented on these things!
