Most of our wedding venues are licensed for wedding ceremonies, though not all of them. You might find it helpful to refer to our wedding venue brochure which has details about which of our venues are licensed.
you can also give us a ring and we’ll answer any questions about your chosen venue. We can even help you narrow down your search if you’re still looking.
Every eve venue has a list of recommended suppliers who know the ins and outs of each space (and rest assured, they’re the best of the best) but you may want to stray from this if there is something you really want for your wedding.
The only thing we do ask is that you use CH&CO for catering. eve is part of CH&CO – an independent hospitality caterer – but they’re super experienced and industry-renowned for being the bee’s knees, so…
Many of our venues offer exclusive hire, but some aren’t able to do this – ask eve. Old Royal Naval College, for example, is a London landmark and we are therefore not able to close it off from the public (it’s a historic masterpiece, don’t you know)
All eve wedding venues in London have disabled access, apart from Dartmouth House, which has no lift access in the building. We have, however, used the lift in the adjoining hotel in the past.
All eve venues are ‘Covid-safe’ and operating in-line with the current government guidelines as they evolve. Please refer to our latest guidelines for having your wedding with an eve venue, which also outlines everything we’re doing to keep you, your suppliers and ourselves safe.
The cancellation policy will vary from venue to venue so be sure to check this when you make your booking, just in case.
Many of eve’s venues are able to host civil ceremonies, but not all of them just yet. Be sure to check whether each wedding venue you’re interested can hold them, as it varies from one to the next.
Alternatively, you can get in touch with us and we can give you any information regarding what each venue is licensed for.
