Few venues in London stop guests in their tracks quite like this one. The Natural History Museum is a genuinely spectacular place to get married, and an evening here feels like nowhere else in the city.
The centrepiece is Hintze Hall, with its soaring Romanesque arches, grand stone staircase, and Hope, the 25-metre blue whale skeleton suspended overhead. It accommodates up to 450 for dinner and dancing. The Earth Hall offers something more otherworldly: dramatic lighting, a giant suspended globe, and Sophie, the world's most complete Stegosaurus fossil. For something more intimate, the Darwin Centre Atrium, Fossil Way, and a handful of smaller galleries provide beautifully characterful alternatives.
Twelve spaces in total are licensed for ceremonies and civil partnerships, so the whole day can take place under one extraordinary roof.
