My partner and I got married last week with the reception being held at the Elgin, it was nothing short of incredible. Cara was amazing from the moment we booked and offered advice where needed, super patient and accommodating. The staff that worked the day were unbelievable, we have had so many compliments from our guests on how professional and friendly the guys were, they really went above and beyond to make the day memorable. We had visited a couple of times before and always thought the staff were great especially Joni and Tom who both worked the day. Down to the small details we had planned, communicating with florists, performers and family on our behalf. After the wedding, everything was packed up for us to collect the following day, it truly couldn't have gone any better. Value for money was amazing. We had 70 guests and 20 mo

The Elgin made planning a wedding so easy from start to finish. We were endlessly impressed with their comprehensive planner. They really have thought of everything and it showed on the day. The team was so responsive and helpful. We had a family friend set up our decorations with the team's help and we were told the whole set up was completed in half the expected time thanks to the team's efficiency. One element that really stood out to us was their attention to detail and care for people with dietary needs. The bride has severe food allergies, and several members of our extended family and friends do as well (including coeliac). We all felt very comfortable on the day thanks to the team's great communication and transparency. It's a beautiful space and exactly what we wanted. Months later our friends are still talking about how much fun they had at our wedding. We think a big part of that is The Elgin made it easy for us to be very present. We never worried about something going wrong, or the schedule. We were really able to fully enjoy our big day. In our opinion, The Elgin is great value for money. We wanted great food and drinks, and a great party which The Elgin certainly delivered, but in our opinio

We just held our wedding reception at The Elgin a couple weeks ago and it went perfectly. To start we visited four pub style venues last October and The Elgin was our final stop and we immediately felt welcomed so it was an easy choice for us. The lead up was mostly sorted with our wedding planner and venue managers - super smooth and very clear process. The layout is perfect with the two different levels which allows for the staff to changeover spaces and also lets guests hang out in a quieter space if needed as the night goes on. The staff was AWESOME. All of our guests complimented how kind and comfortable they felt li

We were looking for somewhere to have our wedding celebration and we knew we loved Elgin as soon as we saw it! We could picture our celebration immediately. Cara was so helpful the whole process - we were very impressed with how easy she made it all feel. The best thing was we hardly needed any decorations - it's beautiful already! We just added a few personal touches :) The venue team were so accommodating with our band, florist & cake delivery, we didn't have to worry ab

Where do we start! From the moment we went to view the Elgin we got such a good feeling from the venue and the staff. It’s such a lovely venue, beautiful space you can make your own. Staff are so lovely. The staff in the run up to the day are so thorough, leave you feeling calm, have everything under control. Nothing seems too much. Happy to answer the thousands of questions I had! On the day they were amazing. Drinks flowed all day. The staff make it, so friendly, make you feel like your day is so special, even though they are doing weddings all the time. Everything ran so smoothly. Little things like making sure I knew where all my stuff was, somewhere to put my bouquet, making sure mine and the grooms glasses were topped up, just amazing. The food is delicious, cannot fault a bit of it. If you are thinking about having your wedding with the Elgin I would totally recommend it! We had the best day. You can really make the space your own, with decorations etc and they just make it happen. I was a

We had the best day at the Elgin and were impressed we were at how smoothly everything went. The food was delicious (I'm obsessed with that cannelini bean dip!) and the Eton mess was sensational. Everyone we have liaised with either via email or on the day itself was lovely and so great. Special shout out to Cara and Tom for everything they did in the run up and on the night. I know our booking had the added challenge of two changeovers/room resets given the number of guests (57 plus us) but I

We recently held our wedding reception at The Elgin, and we honestly can’t imagine a better venue. From the moment we booked the private floor, the team was incredibly accommodating, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. The food was truly outstanding! Our guests are still raving about it weeks later! Both the sit-down meal and the evening sharing platters were the best wedding food we’ve ever had, with the mushroom burgers stealing the show. So many people told us it was the best they’ve ever eaten at a wedding. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Every member of staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely went above and beyond to make the day special. A special mention to the team for helping us secure a refund for a damaged cake before we’d even arrived – it was such a thoughtful gesture that really set the tone for the day. We were also incredibly grateful for the flexibility around logistics. Being able to drop off items the day before and collect things the following day made everything so much easier and stress-free. It meant we could simply enjoy the evening, and we absolutely did. The venue itself looked absolutely stunning, and every little detail we’d requested was executed with care and style. Everything came together so smoothly, and we felt genuinely looked after every step of the way. A huge thank you to Cara, Denisa, and Tom in particular - they each played such a key role in making the night run smoothly and in making us and our guests feel so welcome. We truly can’t recommend The Elgin highly enough, and we’ll definitely be back ag

We hired the whole venue for our wedding reception at Elgin Maida Vale and had the best day! From the moment we booked, we found the events team to be very helpful with all things organisation! All of our questions were answered, and they led us through the whole process & helped us organise the perfect wedding day! Regarding the venue itself, the food was great , the service was great, and the vibes were perfect for us! The team on

After meeting some of the staff over a year ago as we popped in for Sunday lunch, we immediately commented on how lovely they were. We have 2 dogs and they were made to feel as welcome as anyone else there. The service was laid back, but organised and polite and after seeing how gorgeously unique and full of character the venue is we decided to book our wedding there! What a great decision that was. The food, service, responsiveness planning and advice was brilliant. The whole process was easy and our day was incredibly fun, loud, dancey and heartfelt and The Elgin and i

We had our wedding reception at The Elgin and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we first visited the venue, the team made us feel welcome, supported, and completely at ease. The planning process was smooth, communication was clear and helpful throughout, and every single detail was handled with care. The venue itself is stunning — full of natural light and character, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere that all our guests loved. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and so well coordinated that not a single guest felt overlooked. So many of our friends and family commented on how much they enjoyed the day and how impressed they were with the space, the food, and the overall vibe. It really felt like the team went above and beyond to make the day special for not just us, but everyone there. We’re so grateful to Caroline, Tom and the entire team at The Elgin for making our big day one to remember — truly, it was

After getting engaged we quickly became frustrated when looking at venues across the country due to the high costs. We found the Elgin when living locally and saw it was often closed for weddings, so we enquired and we are so thankful we did! What should a wedding be about? Family, Friends, great good & a great party. The space and team at the Elgin delivered well beyond our expectations, it was phenomenal. Our day consisted of a ceremony at old Marylebone town hall before hiring buses to ship guests to the Elgin. We had 120 guests with buffet style food (no sit down meal). We hired the whole pub but were worried that 120 people would be hard to accommodate on one floor for speeches and would feel too cramped. The team were brilliant at putting us at ease and speaking through our layout options given their experience in hosting such large events. This lead to us having the party downstairs with relaxed seating upstairs, which worked perfectly. The food 10/10, we have so many lovely photos of guests tucking into the amazing food. Since the wedding we’ve also had so many comments on how good this was. Additionally we used the DJ and florist recommendations, the DJ had the party going until close at 2am and the florists did an excellent job at making an already pretty pub look beautiful. We can’t thank the staff enough, from the planning calls through to delivering the greatest day we could imagine, thank you all! Special shout outs to Cara, Denisa & Tom!
