This may sound too good to be true, but this is what 116 Pall Mall can offer you. Having a wealth of history, 116 Pall Mall was built on the site of Carlton House, the residence of The Prince of Wales prior to his move into Buckingham Palace. John Nash, the famous 19th century architect designed 116 in the early 1820s. Nash notably also designed, Brighton Pavilion, Marble Arch, and many more of London’s iconic buildings. What really sets 116 Pall Mall aside from other wedding venues, is that the bride and groom have an option to use the property and gardens for the entire wedding day, giving them a rare opportunity to become “Lord and Lady” of the majestic mansion. The dramatic marble floor on the ground floor was laid down in 1858 and remains a listed and unchangeable feature of the building. Owned by the Crown, 116 Pall Mall has magnificent and individually designed function rooms with a capacity to hold an overall total of 400 people. Your guests can watch you descend down the dramatic staircase that prides a 15 foot Regency Chandelier which hangs above, and was presented as a gift to the United Service Club by George 1V to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo. This impressive venue is both flexible and versatile, featuring a columned entrance that leads off into the function rooms and gardens, perfect for photos in the heart of St James. In the restaurant there are also iconic columns in the centre, finished in scagliola: a skilful plaster treatment which was used in the 19th century to imitate marble. The walls are papered in gold leaf, a treatment so expensive that the wallpaper is insured in its own right. It is no wonder that 116 Pall Mall prides the award of excellence for the wedding venue of the year in the London area. Over the years this spectacular venue has been used as a location for many films and TV programmes. The Nash room was Viceroy’s office in Gandhi, the Waterloo room was used as a backdrop for Foyles War and the Brasserie was used in the Batman film, The Dark Knight.
