Some kind words from our couples

 

"I can not thank Saran and her team enough for all the support and effort they put in to help our wedding run smoothly. From the start they were so helpful, really quick to respond and nothing was too much effort. From recommending florists, lighting, chairs and helping with a last minute table planning disaster the were brilliant! I can not recommend this venue enough- I just can't believe how reasonable it is for such an amazing service!!! I almost want to do it all again:)" 

Jasmin and Kieran

 

"The staff were fantastic from the start, really accomodating an helpful. Our day had a couple of hiccoughs and all was dealt with professionally and quickly, with a huge amount of understanding from QMUL. The Octagon room itself is truly beautiful and gave us room to have a real party without losing any of the wow factor. We would choose QMUL again in a heartbeat and I know several of my guests have recommended it to their friends based on their night."

"We had an amazing day celebrating our 'For Life Party' at Queen Mary University of London. We chose QMUL because we live locally and wanted to pick somewhere that felt special but that was in keeping with our lives. The venue worked perfectly for holding the ceremony, drinks and reception all in the same place, with a great flow between the different spaces. The Octagon is a fantastic space for the reception, not only is it a beautiful room, but it also has plenty of space for dancing and games and for the kids to run around! We really could not have been more impressed by the catering team. Having shown lots of flexibility in working with us to design the menu, on the day everything was executed to perfection. All of our guests raved about the food, with many saying it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! Finally, it was great working with Saran, who was super responsive throughout the process, very patient with our specifications about lots of little details and a calm and reassuring presence on the day. A massive thank you to the whole team for making the day run so smoothly!"

"We had our Asian Wedding Reception here and the venue was perfect. It was a stunning backdrop for our wedding, the lobby for drinks and canopés, the grounds for photos and the beautiful Octagon library itself with its amazing ceiling was a wonderful place for our reception. The team were fantastic in organising our day and made everything stress free. Has everything you need such as onsite parking and excellent public transport links too! This place definitely had the wow factor!"
