Description
A Quintessentially English Venue

These original details remain, beautifully complemented by newly added contemporary function suites featuring modern lighting, décor, and refined furnishings.

- NNick and Isabelle14/02/2026Perfect venue for our special dayPerfect venue for our special dayWe booked The Lensbury for our wedding last year and it was amazing. We booked about 18 months in advance and were able to get the date we wanted. Once we started to get closer to the day, we were able to have regular check ins with the events staff and pick out the catering menus. On the day itself, everything ran smoothly. We got some amazing photos on the day that we will treasure forever.We booked The Lensbury for our wedding last year and it was amazing.

- RRafal & Daria13/02/2026The Perfect First Day to Our ForeverThe Perfect First Day to Our ForeverYes, planning a wedding is stressful, but The Lensbury was a perfect venue for us! They organised everything with such attention to detail, served our chosen meal options in a taster dinner (all meals were DELICIOUS), and greeted all our suppliers to ensure the day went as smoothly as possible. They offered multiple wedding packages for us to choose what suits us best. The hotel is on the Thames, so we have wonderful picturesque photos to remember our day. We will forever cherish this milestone and are grateful to have chosen The Lensbury to tie the knot!Yes, planning a wedding is stressful, but The Lensbury was a perfect venue for us!
