Verified Reviews of Engagement Party Venues in London

George F.

Booked The Orangery at TT Liquor

5.0

What didn't we like! I can't commend the venue and staff enough for making our engagement party a fantastic night for all 90+ of our guests who comfortably fit into the room. We lost count of the number of compliments we received on the room and general vibe of the place, whilst the location is super easy to get to from all over London. Kieran (hopefully spelt right!) and the bar team were so welcoming, so friendly, but also worked so diligently to keep the bar queue to a minimum. The cocktails went down a treat and the sound system worked fantastically. Last but by no means least, the bar only has a minimum spend and this is NOT put behind the bar like a lot of other places do, instead guests are able to pay for their own drinks. All in all, a fantastic night at a fantastic venue with fantastic staff - get it booked, we'll certainly be back!

Booked Entire Venue at The Huntsman and Hounds

5.0

Couldn’t have been a better venue. We booked the Huntsman and Hounds for our engagement party last weekend and it was truly perfect. The staff were incredible, exceptionally accommodating, helpful and overall fun to be around! We had nearly 80 guests and it was the perfect size, but can also see it working for smaller parties as well. Virtually every single person that attended mentioned how brilliant they thought the venue was. As with any party organising I was pretty anxious about it all, but The Huntsman and Hounds team could not have been better, they were on hand to help with everything and were sooo accommodating. Thank you, thank you!! The pub is beautifully designed, exceptionally clean and overall a really warm and welcoming atmosphere. The location was great, about a 10 minute walk from Elephant and Castle station so easy for everyone to get to and from. We were able to play our own music, and brought in food which was also a big plus. The drinks were well priced and their minimum spend structure makes booking out the pub entirely doable. I got my deposit back straight away! Truly can’t thank The Huntsman and Hounds team enough - they made it such a special night. It’s an awesome pub, with even better staff!! The only downside is that I don’t live closer to it because I’d be a regular for sure!! Highly highly recommend.

Booked Entire Venue at The Long Lane

5.0

The Long Lane is an amazing gem of a find. We hosted our engagement party here for 50 people and the vibes were immaculate thanks to Ty and the service of his staff. Great food, solid quality cocktails and just a really great space. We had a DJ in the basement for the later part of the night for a dance party which was such a great way to break up the evening's festivities. All in all, it was a memorable night and The Long Lane is now a permanent staple in our favourite bars in London. You have a lifelong customer!

Booked Conservatory Area at The Alwyne Castle

5.0

A great space for our engagement party and the sharing boards we ordered for our guests were delicious and got lots of compliments! Also loved that I could play my music through the speaker system and the staff were great about letting us put some decorations up and letting us stay past 6pm.

Booked Club Room at Forge

5.0

Great service - really friendly and helpful staff. Our queries and requests were responded to very quickly during the organising of the event and during the actual engagement party. Good value for money! Very stylish venue. Guests had a great time.

Amrit S.

Booked Upper Arch at SAMA Bankside

4.6

We came to SAMA for our engagement party and it was perfect. The service from when we were booking our area to the end of the event was amazing. The set up, to the drinks to food and bringing the cake out couldn’t have been any better. We even had beer pong which everyone enjoyed so much! Thank you everyone at SAMA for making our night to memorable!

Nikki M.

Booked Patch Main Bar at Patch St Paul's

5.0

We held an engagement party here in January 2019 and it was absolutely amazing. From first enquiry through to the event itself, we were incredibly well looked after by Alex and her team who made us feel like nothing was too much or an obstacle. Drinks were fantastic and great value and the food we ordered was lovely. Thank you so much guys, you really did give us a night to remember!

Krishna M.

Booked The Loft at Six Storeys on Soho

5.0

The venue we found was excellent to host our engagement party. It was good value and everyone that attended raved about how cool and central the venue was. The staff at the venue were excellent and we are inclined to use it again for another small event.
