Description

The Natural History Museum is not only an international leader in the study of the natural world, but for over 25 years we have also played host to some of London’s most spectacular weddings. We are able to offer couples the opportunity to say ‘I do’ in London’s most iconic venue. We are delighted to have licenced 12 of our unique spaces, which can be used for ceremonies alone, reception-only celebrations, or both. We offer exclusive hire of our magnificent spaces, sure to create a stunning backdrop for your special day. In our largest venue, Hintze Hall, the iconic Victorian architecture and soaring arches provide a remarkable setting for you to celebrate with your guests. Alternatively, dine and dance the night away in the celestial Earth Hall, raising a toast next to our resident Stegosaurus fossil. We also have a number of smaller galleries for those couples looking for a more intimate celebration. Our dedicated Venue Hire team has a wealth of experience, running over 150 events a year. From intimate ceremonies to grand wedding breakfasts, we are here to assist you with expert advice from your initial enquiry through to the final goodbye.

I spent the evening at the NHM celebrating a wedding and without a doubt, the venue made the event what it is. The grand hall which we were situated in was absolutely beautiful where the scenic view such as the remnants of the dinosaur was something I just couldn't take my eyes off. A great event and an exceedingly fantastic venue.

The venue looked spectacular!

We had an awesome evening and have had so many people get in touch saying what an amazing event it was. The venue looked spectacular and all the suppliers did an excellent job on the day. We really wouldn't change anything and are so happy we chose the NHM as our venue.

We were in safe hands from start to finish!

We were in safe hands from start to finish. I liked the NHM approach of the Event Manager taking our initial tour and walking the museum with us, through to being our point of contact to signing contracts and eventually being with us on the day! It’s a good personal approach and much appreciated.
