Happy New Year! I can't quite believe it's 2026 already and I'm so excited for this new year of ceremonies, including three gorgeous bilingual June weddings in Richmond, Beckenham and Bristol. For those of you who don't know me yet, I'm a humanist wedding, naming ceremony and celebration of life celebrant based in South London specialising in bilingual French and Welsh ceremonies.


This time of year always makes me reflective, and so I thought I'd share with you three of my favourite London wedding venues from my wonderful 2025 couples: The Nash Conservatory in Kew Gardens, Queen's House in Greenwich and The Mitre Hotel Hampton Court.

This was definitely a bucket list wedding venue for me and I was so excited when Elle first reached out to me in my Insta DMs for her September wedding to Dev! Kew was the perfect venue for them, as most of their guests were travelling from abroad - offering both an easy-to-reach venue from Heathrow and an iconic London experience for first-time visitors.


They really embraced the venue's British charm, with whimsical Alice in Wonderland florals and offered favours including British biscuits and tea (what else!) The Nash Conservatory is truly breathtaking, with an excellent sound system and microphones built into the lectern - absolutely perfect for when Elle and Dev shared their personal vows.

  1. Enlli & Nat - Queen's House, Greenwich

Whenever I've met up with local wedding supplier friends and someone asks where their favourite venue is to work, the answer very often is the historic and magnificent Queen's House in Greenwich. I can't tell you how excited I was when Enlli & Nat's lovely wedding planner Millie from Love Made Me Weddings got in touch asking if I was available to lead their bilingual Welsh and English wedding there. Stunning South-East London venue? Tick! Welsh wedding? Tick tick!



Queen's House is well-known for its striking midnight blue staircase (perfect for post-ceremony photos) and the Great Hall offers the perfect backdrop for a heartfelt wedding ceremony to create your own slice of history. As a central London venue, it's so easy for guests from the UK and beyond to reach, with lots of options to get there by public transport. The team here were an absolute dream to work with too.

  1. Caitlin & Hervé - The Mitre Hampton Court

Caitlin and Hervé chose The Mitre Hampton Court for their cosy London boutique hotel autumn wedding. Like Elle and Dev, most of their guests were travelling from abroad, and so they chose a venue where all their guests could stay for the weekend and hang out with them. It's literally across the road from Hampton Court Palace and a short taxi ride away from Heathrow, making it an easy and comfortable venue for guests to attend. As Hervé's family are French, I worked closely with the couple to create a beautifully bilingual ceremony to make sure everyone felt welcome and included.


The hotel's orangery provided the ideal setting for their intimate ceremony, framed by the most stunning autumnal two-part floral arch by My Table Floral Design. After the ceremony, guests were guided to the covered terrace for drinks and photos, with the most perfect view of the Thames.

So there you have it, if you're looking for the perfect London wedding venue with easy access for guests travelling from the UK and abroad, it's definitely worth taking a look at these three venues. This blog is solely my opinion and I wasn't approached by any of the venues to endorse them.


And of course, if you're looking for a London-based wedding celebrant to help create your unique and memorable story, I'd love to hear from you!
