A city as old as London is full of architectural icons, historic venues and imposingly beautiful facades. One of the last great wonders of Gothic revival architecture in the country is the Royal Courts of Justice at the bottom of the Strand.
An iconic venue
With its elegant stone arches and vaulted ceilings, few venues match the drama and the wonder of the Royal Courts. Opened in 1882, this magnificent Grade I listed building has over a thousand rooms, miles of hallways and award-winning event spaces, all available for private evening hire for engaged couples.
Where can we wed?
The cathedral-like Great Hall, whose ceiling soars to 82ft, is among the largest events spaces in London and has dramatic architecture, marble mosaic floors and beautiful stained glass windows, guaranteed to leave you and your guests awestruck at its ethereal beauty. The generous room can accommodate 600 for a dinner or 800 for a cocktail reception, making it a fabulous choice for large gatherings of friends and family.
Showcasing an impressive collection of historical legal robes, the Costume Gallery is in the heart of the Courts and provides an engaging setting for a cocktail reception or dinner. Meanwhile the ornately decorated Painted Room, on a former Knights Templar jousting ground, is the only decorated room in the Courts and can be hired exclusively for cocktail parties and private dining.
Where else can we tie the knot?
Another setting ideal for hosting sumptuous autumnal celebrations is the Bear Garden, handsomely furnished with an ornate fireplace and oak panelled ceilings. The Garden adjoins the Painted Room and provides a remarkable setting for an intimate pre-wedding dinner or reception. The Royal Courts has a dedicated events team on hand who help guide couples through the entire venue hire process, from the initial site visit, pre-planning and organisation to the on-site event management on the day itself.
So do your wedding celebrations justice and hold your Big Day at the bewitchingly beautiful Royal Courts.
