Looking for a large-scale wedding venue in the City of London? Plaisterers’ Hall has ornate moulded ceilings, crystal chandeliers and four distinct rooms for different parts of your celebration. Available for exclusive hire, it hosts civil ceremonies and wedding receptions, allowing couples to hold the whole day in one venue.
The Great Hall accommodates up to 400 guests for a ceremony, 330 for a seated wedding breakfast and 500 for a standing reception. Its high ceilings, gold leaf detailing and rich carpeted floor can be complemented by floral arrangements, candles and decorations, with round or banquet tables arranged to suit your guest list.
The Livery Hall holds 100 for a ceremony, 70 for a wedding breakfast or 220 for a reception. The smaller Humber and Mott Rooms offer more intimate spaces or can accommodate different elements of a larger wedding. There is also an outdoor terrace where guests can step outside during the celebrations.
Trusted caterers create bespoke menus, including two- and three-course meals at different price points. Starters might feature smoked duck with pickled blackberries or wild mushroom pithivier with candied walnuts, followed by braised blade of beef or chicken breast with chestnut crumb. Desserts include pecan tart, dark chocolate cremeux with hazelnuts and blackberry and apple crumble tart.
Canapes, bowl food and stations serving pizza, arancini, cheese or desserts provide alternatives to a seated meal. Afternoon tea brings sandwiches, scones and sweet treats, while drinks range from cocktails such as elderflower Collins and Negronis to mocktails, wine, beer, cider and soft drinks.
An in-house wedding coordinator supports the planning, with a master of ceremonies and toastmaster available to guide proceedings. St Paul’s, Moorgate and Barbican Underground stations are nearby, while rail connections at Moorgate, Farringdon and Liverpool Street make the venue accessible to guests travelling from elsewhere in London and further afield.
