Did your loved one pop the question this Valentine's Day? If so, what better place to say 'I do' than in the most cosmopolitan and exciting city in the world? London really does have everything you could possibly want when planning the perfect wedding. Visit London has launched a new wedding micro-site at visitlondon.com, containing all the information you'll need to plan your special day. From choosing the perfect venue, to holding raucous or relaxed hen and stag events and even where to honeymoon in the capital, visitlondon.com is your one stop organisational tool for the perfect capital wedding.
With sections on everything to do with that 'special day', including contact details on caterers, photographers, where to shop for wedding necessities, practical information on the legalities that need to be considered and even details on where celebrity couples have tied the knot.
The setting for a wedding is all important in creating the perfect atmosphere in which to say 'I do'. Whether you're after a lavish five star affair, a romantic hideaway or something a little different, Visit London's wedding guide has a wealth of suggestions. For the extravagant couples out there, the opulent Dorchester Hotel offers eight wedding venues ranging from the elegant Ballroom to the delightful Orchid Room. For something rather more unusual, how about tying the knot surrounded by 5,000 animals at London Zoo? Or in a specially decorated capsule 135m above London in the BA London Eye? Cricket lovers can even get married at the Brit Oval. Home to the famous Ashes win last summer, the Long Room displays the cricketing history of the club as well as providing an all-important eye level view of the world-famous wicket.
After the wedding ceremony, what better city to celebrate becoming man and wife in than London, where there are unlimited options on where to host your wedding party. If your wedding is set to be a big affair, how about holding your reception at Alexandra Palace, where in the magnificent Great Hall, you can seat 5,000 for dinner! Alternatively Vinopolis, the museum dedicated to wine, has a range of rooms that can be hired out including the sleek Bombay Sapphire Room where you can hire your own mixologist for the event.
