Description

The Dorchester is London’s most elegant address for weddings and social events. With nine stunning event spaces accommodating every kind of celebration, from intimate ceremonies to grand receptions, The Dorchester is the perfect choice for an unforgettable day. Each of our spaces can be tailored to your unique desires: The only limits are those of your imagination. An experienced team of event designers, florists and our Executive Chef and Sommelier ensure your event is just as you imagined, while our attentive yet unobtrusive staff provide flawless service. The Dorchester reopened the art deco ballroom suite in September 2011 following a restoration by Alex Kravetz Designs Ltd intended to recapture the opulence of Oliver Ford's original 1930s design. With its own private Park Lane entrance, the space is internationally recognized for its impeccably elegant and understated style, and over 10,000 square foot can accommodate 500 for dinner and 1,000 for cocktails. Executive Chef Henry Brosi extends a three-course à la carte menu offering in The Ballroom, a service rarely included in such large functions due to the high skill involved in grand scale production. The 2011 restoration included the Park Lane entrance, Crush Hall, The Silver Room and The Gold Room, all now returned to their former glory with additional technology and lighting to ensure greater value for clients. Three large crystal chandeliers were returned to iconic ceiling domes inspired by the 1930s originals, enhancing the play of light across antique mirror wall paneling. Original 13-foot high pillars made from a blue semi-precious stone (sodalite) provide overall color, enhanced by new hand-made Champagne-toned carpet and custom-made Venetian drapery. Other venues in the Dorchester Collection include Coworth Park and 45 Park Lane.

Magnificent Wedding in the Ballroom

We attended a wedding in the ballroom here. It was magnificent, as you might expect. The food was marvellous and it was nothing short of impressive that they managed to keep consistency in appearance and cooking of each plate. The space is massive, so if you're looking for a wedding venue for big numbers and can afford it then make an enquiry! What you do with it is of course up to you.

Picturesque Setting for Wedding Photography

Photographing my first wedding after the renovation was a joy, thanks to the impressive quality of work done. Every corner showcased beautifully finished custom-made Italian pieces, creating a picturesque setting. The bright interior made capturing moments seamless. The exceptional service further enhanced the experience, and I look forward to returning soon for more weddings.
