Natural History Museum Full 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.
