Weddings at Queen Mary

We had a wonderful day, and it was thanks to the QMUL team for a great job to support us. They were flexible on several of our requests and I never had to worry. Plus the venue makes for some great photos!

Saran communicated so well that it made all the planning easy. Highly recommend her and her team.

We cannot recommend QMUL enough as a venue for your wedding. We chose The Octagon at QMUL as our reception venue having fallen in love with the space on going to see it - it really is even more breathtaking when you see it in person. From the start Saran has been great to deal with. We had a lot of questions and she answered them all in good time, we always felt confident in her and her calm and relaxed nature helped us to feel relaxed, safe in the knowledge that our planning was in good hands! The day ran so smoothly thanks to Saran and her catering and hospitality team. The food was absolutely delicious (can highly recommend the lamb kleftiko!) We had lots of positive comments from guests about the food, the staff and the location. We could not have asked for more from a wedding venue and had the best day.

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!

From our first viewing we knew we wanted our reception at The Octagon. Saran and her team were absolutely amazing throughout the whole booking process. They made sure that we could have the things we wanted (such as owls!!) This meant the whole day was very relaxed from beginning to end and we could have wished for anything better. The food was delicious and our guests all commented on what an amazing space it was for a reception. Would completely recommend The Octagon for your wedding reception without hesitation.

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) x
