About Buffini Chao Deck

London is positively overflowing with wedding venue options. And while, yes, everyone loves choice - it can be overwhelming. Well, we're here to make things a little easier for you because if you're looking for a place that's world renown, an iconic beacon of theatre and arts and has panoramic views of the Thames and London's famous cityscape, there's somewhere you need to check out. 

You might not have heard of Buffini Chao Deck, but this sky-high events space and wrap-around terrace sits pretty atop of the National Theatre, right on the edge of the Thames. It's got an ideal location, just minutes walk from Waterloo station, perfect for guests coming in from around London or even further afield, thanks to the national rail services. And, for out of towners making a weekend of your special day, there's so much to do in this buzzy hub, they'll be suitably impressed by the city's bright lights. 

In terms of the space, the venue is generally very adaptable and for a seated ceremony and seated wedding breakfast, there's capacity for up to 100 guests or for a more informal reception, the space can host up to 200 standing guests. As well as the wrap-around terrace with 360 views, the indoor function room has high ceilings, feels bright and lofty and is a blank canvas so you can transform the space however you like. Plus, impressively the sound and lighting departments from the National Theatre have ensured that the venue is kitted out with state-of-the-art equipment. 

The Buffini Chao Deck has a plethora of catering options, think vegetarian, pescatarian and meat-based canapes, as well as three-course seated dinners and even relationships with some of London's coolest food trucks and pop ups, which are perfect for couples who want something a little different.

Testimonials For Buffini Chao Deck

Thank you so much Buffini Chao Deck for an amazing day we will never forget!JULY, 2024

My partner and I recently held our wedding reception at the Buffini Chao Deck and I couldn’t be more impressed with Isla and the rest of the team. From planning to execution, Isla exceeded my expectations. She was quick to reply to any questions I had and went above and beyond to help in any way she could. I felt extremely confident in leaving the set up of the venue in Isla’s capable hands. Her organization and attention to detail was impeccable. We had multiple comments from guests on how great the service was and Isla was extremely welcoming to guests who arrived early. We also had multiple guests let us know how much they enjoyed the food. The deck was absolutely stunning especially at golden hour in the summer.

Also, Olga and I wanted to thank you for all the work in putting together the night. It was a great success, thanks in no small part to the effort and creativity in the decor, drinks, food, and accommodation of you and your team. We appreciate working with us and handling the chaos of the planning as well. It was a great and memorable night for both Olga and I. Please thank the rest of the team for us as well!
