Grand Waldorf Weddings The Waldorf Hilton, London
Waldorf Weddings Welcome to The Waldorf Hilton, London. Standing on the Aldwych since 1908, we were built with one purpose: to be a grand hotel. That history wraps around you the moment you arrive, written into the architecture and woven into the walls. A century of presence, distilled into one simple truth: you are exactly where you belong. Grand in presence. Personal in spirit. Distinctly Waldorf. Congratulations on your recent engagement and thank you for considering our hotel as the venue for your wedding. Every wedding at The Waldorf Hilton is unique, with each part of your special day being tailor made to suit your requirements. Swipe through to start your Waldorf journey.
Palm Court Timeless elegance and sophisticated glamour truly define the ambiance and aesthetic at our iconic hotel, especially when it comes to Weddings. Palm Court is a lavish space for ceremonies, drinks parties, and receptions. Featuring grade II listed marble flooring, French-style doors and windows, a balcony, glass ceiling, a grand piano, and ornate light fixtures, which set the tone for refinement and romance. It’s one of London’s most historic event spaces, and the heart and soul of The Waldorf’s rich history of hosting events. Palm Court retains its original magic and awe when guests enter the room – as it did when we hosted our first Tango Tea Dances over 100 years ago.
Palm Court Protected by The English Heritage and lovingly restored by Hilton to its 1908 Edwardian glory, the luxurious Palm Court was featured in the 1953 film ‘A Night To Remember’ and the hit 2019 movie Rocketman. The historical clock, original lanterns and sconces add a touch of timeless character to every event. It also boasts a private lobby, cloakroom and direct street access. We’re licensed for civil ceremonies and partnerships for up to 300 guests, allowing you to spend your entire wedding celebration with us from start to finish. From fabulous banquets in our historic Palm Court, to celebrating your love story in our beautifully restored Adelphi Suite, the choice is yours.
Adelphi Suite Our Adelphi Suite is characterised by a timeless black and white colour scheme, modern chandeliers, tall marble columns, and plush carpeting. With a ground-level staging area for entertainment and a dance floor for your after-party. Uplighting can be entirely customised to match your theme and taste, the space also features state of the art audio visual systems. The space has a versatile layout with the option to separate the room into three separate suites, which can be used for dinners, dancing or a dedicated catering space. The Adelphi Suite as a whole can host up to 320 guests for a dinner dance, 340 guests in a banquet style set-up or a glittering reception for up to 500 guests.
