A brilliant day!!!

Thank you so much for what can only be described as a bloody brilliant day!!! We were so happy with the full experience of having our wedding with you at Lauderdale House. From working with Kay to get everything into place, to Peters warm and calming energy on the day, to the inpecable timing and staffing of the food and evening activities. It has been such a pleasure and we are so happy with every element of the run up and the day! Please pass on our thanks to David too - the pies and sticky toffee pudding were DELICIOUS!! and we have had a lot of comments on them.

A day we will never forget

Many thanks for looking after us at our wedding on June 29th. Seems like a long time ago already but it's a day we will never forget. You were really good with us prior to the ceremony and made us feel so much more relaxed so we were able to take it all in. And of course it was extremely hot, so we really appreciate your efforts.

The venue is beautiful

We just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did for us leading up to yesterday. We had the most special day and are so grateful for your help. Everything with food, service, venue etc was perfect - we’ve sent messages to Kay and her team and Peter saying how wonderful they were. The venue is beautiful and special, but having people like [Stuart], Kay, David, Peter involved makes the venue even more wonderful.

Perfectly arranged

Now that we have had the chance to rest after the wedding and take care of the last-standing guests, I wanted to say thank you for your help with our wedding. Your help was most precious and it was reassuring to have someone with experience to talk to when we planned it all. Everything was perfectly arranged and went very smoothly - it wouldn’t have been possible without you! A big THANK YOU from both of us.

Best day of our lives!

I just want to say that this is the most worthy invoice I have ever paid in my life, you can quote me! Kay and her team were phenomenal, I’m still reeling from such a fantastic weekend, so I haven’t quite got around to thanking Kay personally, but everyone raved about the food, and the service was superb!! Every penny on that corkage was worth it. Thank you so so so much. We had the best day of our lives.

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Lauderdale House?

It's not fair to pick an individual wedding, each has been so beautiful and unique in its own right! We love to see how each couple transform the space to highlight their own love story.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Enjoy it! Savour every moment and let us deal with the stress :)

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

It's hard to choose - anything that takes real advantage of our space is lovely! We have two grand pianos (one upstairs and one downstairs) that can make for a real romantic backdrop when covered in flowers and photographs of the happy couple. We also love a phone guest book - it looks so cute in our marble and wood feature known as Nell Gwynn's Bath.

Describe Lauderdale House in 5 adjectives

Romantic, unique, historic, artistic, charming

Where’s the best photo spot at Lauderdale House?

Waterlow Park is full of great photo spots, including some amazing eagle steps, a gorgeous brick alcove, and our lovely side terrace which is the perfect place for a confetti moment.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Lauderdale House?

Yes we have ;)

What’s your favourite canapé?

Crostini with smoked salmon mousse and house-pickled dill cucumber - it's so delicious!

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

We absolutely love a dark chocolate pot with salted caramel mousse. It's best served around 10pm to keep up the energy levels on the dance floor.

What is Lauderdale House most unique feature?

Our building is filled with unique features! From our original 16th century beams to the bas relief in the Entrance Hall, from the cupola on the first floor to the ornate ceiling panel in the Long Gallery, Lauderdale House hosts a unique combination of both Tudor and Victorian styles and offers a sumptuous blend of historic details and modern comforts.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

We are very proud to be a charity which reinvests the money we make from weddings back into our arts and education programmes and also of our small but mighty Events and Operations team, who make every event at the house so special.
