Your wedding venue sets the tone for your entire celebration. It’s more than just a beautiful space; it’s where your story unfolds, where memories are made, and where your guests experience the magic of your day.
Surveyors House, a historic Victorian building in Westminster, offers couples an exceptional setting positioned near St. James’s Park and surrounded by London’s most iconic landmarks. It’s a Westminster wedding venue that brings together heritage, sophistication and flexibility for celebrations from 18 to 110 guests.
Surveyors House is a Georgian building enhanced with Victorian elegance, combining period architecture with contemporary comfort. It offers the gravitas and sophistication that heritage venues are known for, whilst providing all the modern amenities couples expect today.
High ceilings, elegant features and timeless design create an atmosphere that feels both grand and welcoming. The impressive Victorian architecture provides a level of distinction that sets it apart from contemporary hotel ballrooms.
Behind the period features, you’ll find fully accessible facilities with lifts to all floors and climate control. As a licensed venue, we can host both your ceremony and reception under one roof, and our entertainment licence means live music, DJs or bespoke entertainment is all possible. It’s this combination that makes us stand out as one of the most sought-after wedding reception venues in Westminster.
Surveyors House offers four distinct spaces that can be used individually or combined to create a seamless flow throughout your celebration.
The Lecture Hall accommodates up to 110 guests for ceremonies or receptions. With its Victorian elegance and impressive proportions, it’s perfect for couples who are seeking a larger space for their ceremony and an excellent spot for sit-down meals, dance floors or theatre-style events.
The Council Chamber is a versatile room, ideal for pre-dinner drinks, evening entertainment or receptions for up to 80 guests. Its adaptable layout transitions effortlessly from one part of your day to the next.
For couples seeking a refined but intimate wedding venue in London, the President’s Dining Room offers something truly special. It has space for 18 seated or 35 standing guests with floor-to-ceiling windows offering impressive views of Big Ben and Parliament Square.
The Roof Terrace, located on the fifth floor provides an outdoor space that offers a stunning panoramic view of central London and hosts up to 35 guests. This makes it ideal for drinks receptions or photographs with views of Westminster Abbey and the London skyline.
Our venue’s catering is provided by Searcys, a name synonymous with quality and refinement. With over 175 years of experience in British hospitality, they bring expertise and attention to detail to every wedding.
