The Purple Owl offers a colourful, characterful setting for couples looking for a relaxed city wedding in Wandsworth. Available for exclusive hire, the venue can accommodate up to 90 guests for a seated wedding breakfast or 250 standing for a reception, with the flexibility to personalise the space and create a celebration that feels entirely your own.
Inside, the venue has a cosy, casual feel with plenty of personality. A long bar runs along one side of the room, accompanied by wooden bar stools and warm rattan lighting, while comfortable booth seating, colourful cushions and a mix of fabrics and textiles create relaxed areas for guests to gather. Wooden tables, patterned wallpaper and an eclectic collection of colourful artwork add to the aesthetic, giving the space a warm and characterful backdrop for a city wedding reception.
Food and drink can be kept informal and sociable, with Classic, Grand and Deluxe party packages available at different price points. Depending on the package, these bring together combinations of charcuterie boards, pizza slices, sides or pastries of your choice, alongside bottled beer, Prosecco and red or white wine. It’s an easy fit for couples who prefer guests to mingle over drinks and sharing food rather than sit down to a traditional formal wedding breakfast.
There’s plenty more choice behind the bar, including handpicked cocktails, standout beers and premium alcohol-free options. The wine selection spans sparkling, white, rose, orange and red wines, while mocktails provide further non-alcoholic options. Weekend celebrations can continue late into the evening, with the bar open until 1.30am on Fridays and Saturdays. The Purple Owl is also pet-friendly, so well-behaved dogs can be part of the wedding celebrations too.
