De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms is a Grade II listed heritage wedding venue in London’s West End, with history dating back to 1775 and was once the original Freemasons Tavern before becoming a hotel.
The artistically perfect function rooms feature sparkling chandeliers and exquisite oak panelling, meaning that even without decoration you will still feel like royalty. This Asian wedding venue is as grand as it is beautiful, a venue that should definitely not be overlooked.
The Grand Hall is the largest function room at De Vere Grand Connaught and what a spectacle it is. Opening its enormous doors makes you feel like you are stepping into a magical castle and, as you enter the jaw-dropping auditorium the 42-foot-high ceilings and original Grade II listed detailing will take your breath away. This magnificent space can accommodate up to 750 guests theatre style.
The Grand Hall isn’t the only spectacle at this venue as even the lobby itself has marble-lined features, distinctive monochrome chequerboard floor and a majestic staircase which is just the perfect portrait backdrop, setting the scene for your very own fairy tale wedding.
All this grandeur needs something complimentary to catch each heartfelt moment, capturing every feeling of love and laughter as it unfolds. Not many couples know this, but instead of having the conventional wedding photographer capture your special moments you can have a live wedding painter do it instead. Now we know this may not be the ordinary way, but if you’re having your wedding at De Vere Grand Connaught nothing is going to be ordinary.
Live wedding painters bring that sense of uniqueness and individuality to your portraits as they can highlight your feelings in a much more detailed way than a photograph. Plus live wedding painters will provide guests with entertainment throughout your special day.

Let’s face it, anyone hosting a wedding in London wants something that is going to excite even the most elegant guests. Behold 8 Northumberland Avenue. This wedding venue has been described by English Heritage as having ‘the grandest example of a Victorian Ballroom in existence’. A bold statement but one which we feel lives up to expectations. Once you set your eyes on the astounding auditorium which has been fitted with LED lights that have up to 6 million different colours you’ll see why.
This venue is just a short stroll away from Trafalgar square which makes it one of the most accessible and central Asian wedding venues in the capital. Not only this, but the grand place can hold over 1000 guests! One particular advantage of 8 Northumberland Avenue is that once hired it is exclusively yours on your special day. This means you can design every single aspect and, if you wish, you can work alongside the hotel’s creative partners in case you need a helping hand.
This means that you can certainly add your own unique style and extravagance you so desire. One which you may have overlooked is hiring a live wedding painter. The standard practice is to have a wedding photographer capture all your special moments, and although we agree they should attend, having a live wedding painter work alongside them only makes the day more unforgettable. The live wedding painter will be on hand not only to capture your very special moments in a unique and emotional way, but they will also provide your guests with engaging entertainment. Something we feel they are most likely never to forget.
This way you can be sure that you and your loved ones’ portraits of your first look, first kiss or first dance are unique and express your individuality. Something which no other wedding is likely to have.
