Londons Wedding Venues – The Iconic Mandarin Oriental Hotel

A brief history: the adjective iconic is one that’s over-used and often wrongly-used. But it’s fairly-used in respect of this magnificent building. In 1889 the Hyde Park Court and Club, as it was called then, opened its doors as an exclusive apartment block of 138 bachelor flats and its own Hyde Park gentleman’s club. Its story stretches back 117 exhilarating and exciting years. For more fascinating detail of this London institution’s history go here.

The Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park lies on the edge of Hyde Park, in the heart of Knightsbridge. From the start this superlative hotel welcomed guests from around the world and counts royalty, dignitaries, celebrities and VIPs among that number. And, perhaps, you?

The Mandarin Oriental’s Capacity

This hotel offers three spaces for your wedding – or indeed other special occasion.

• The Ballroom: With a view of Hyde Park and an area of 243sqm this space can play host to up to 400 guests. All through its illustrious history, royalty and celebrities aplenty have passed through its doors. Recent years have seen it undergo extensive restoration. The ballroom boasts dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, a terrace and a private garden.
  
• The Loggia: With a capacity of up to 70 guests this impressive space is perfect for a more intimate celebration. Boasting floor-to-ceiling views this room features direct access to the hotel’s gardens, through the famed Royal entrance.
  
• The Carlyle Suite: Bridging the gap between a large guest list and the small and intimate affair is this suite. Boasting natural daylight, the Carlyle suite is suitable for up to 250 guests and offers an intimate and elegant event space.

Mandarin Oriental’s Special Touches

Should you be holding your celebration in the ballroom, then the hotel can arrange for you to make a red-carpet entrance via the private royal entrance from Hyde Park. If, on the other hand, you’re entering from Knightsbridge the hotel can arrange for personalized flags bearing your name or initials to fly over your arrival.

An Expert Planning Service

The Mandarin Oriental boasts a talented team of events specialists. There’s nothing they haven’t done, having arranged the gamut from intimate cocktail parties to royal banquets. You can rest assured they’ll apply the attention to detail required for the latter to your celebration.

Personalized Menus

Say it with flowers

Venue type: A prestigious Mayfair address, part of the Biltmore brand, in an area of London with a rich history. Vibe: Discreet excellence offering responsive, intuitive service.

In 1883 Grosvenor Square did brief service as home to the infamous wit, dramatist and poet, Oscar Wilde.  Such an impression on him did the area make, that he featured it in some later works – one of which was The Picture of Dorian Grey. 

Also known to have lived lives of luxury in Grosvenor Square were four of the Bentley Boys – they being a group of British motorists who made a huge contribution to the success of the Bentley company.

But there’s an earlier stage of British history that features Grosvenor Square. In 1815, the Battle of Waterloo marked Napoleon Bonaparte’s final defeat by the Prussian and British-led forces under the Duke of Wellington. Tasked with delivering the victory news was Major Henry Percy. He arrived on June 21^st and his first stop was 44 Grosvenor Square where members of the cabinet had gathered – and now the site of the hotel.

London City Sights

The city of London boasts a cornucopia of historic and/or beautiful sights – so why not make use of them? Take inspiration from the photographs you see here and book your photographer to snap you both with the London metropolis as a backdrop. Clearly London is blessed with far too many sights to mention all of them on this page – so we’ve picked a select few to get you thinking – starting with two world=famous parks.

1. Hyde Park – A stones throw from the iconic Mandarin Oriental Hotel London Hyde Park, this wonderful park comprises 350 acres of green space, with 400 trees and a large lake. It’s also home to the Diana Memorial Fountain – a peaceful monument honouring the late Princess of Wales. Hyde Park is famous to for Speakers’ Corner. This historic site of public protest, debates and speeches counts the likes of George Orwell, Vladimir Lenin and Karl Marx amongst the number that have pontificated here.
   
2. The Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill – Designed by John Nash in the early 1800s, Regent’s Park marks the high-water mark of Regency elegance. It’s the home of London Zoo, the oldest scientific zoo in the world, and the Regents Park Open Air Theatre. Established in 1932, this multi-award winning theatre is one of the largest in London boasting 1,304 seats. All in an exquisite Royal Park setting.
   
   A registered charity, the theatre receives no regular public subsidy. Rather it relies entirely on earned income and charitable contributions. Yet, in 2024, the theatre introduced 33,000 tickets at a mere £15 across the summer season, making a visit to the theatre more accessible.
   
3. Trafalgar Square – as well as being a destination in itself, thanks to its famous lions and fountains, this public square is home too, to galleries and historic buildings. We’re talking about the National Gallery, St-Martin-in-the-Fields church, the Strand, Whitehall, Admiralty Arch and The Mall.
   
4. Marble Arch – Originally designed by John Nash to be two things. In the first instance, a grandiose gateway to Buckingham Palace and a jubilant celebration of British victories in the Napoleonic wars. A triumphal arch if you will. Though it may surprise you to know that what you see today is not in fact anywhere near as extravagant and splendid as Nash intended.
