14 of the best Asian wedding venues London has to offer

Your wedding day is the most important occasion in your lifetime, so choosing a venue that can not only understand cultural, religious and family traditions but also deliver a celebration that honours them is top of the priorities list. Our guide to the best Asian wedding venues in London brings together spaces suited to everything from modern and intimate ceremonies and family gatherings to spectacular receptions, with the flexibility and facilities needed to make each celebration feel personal.

It’s important to remember that there’s no single ‘Asian wedding’. London’s communities encompass a rich mix of Hindu, Sikh, Muslim and other traditions, each with their own wedding customs. What’s more, while large-scale, multi-day celebrations remain a defining feature of many South Asian weddings, couples are increasingly exploring different formats, from more intimate gatherings that dedicate more budget to elements like food, decor and venue hire to celebrations that remain big but take on different interfaith wedding traditions.

That’s not to say the traditional large-scale reception is being replaced. There’s still a huge market for Asian wedding venues in London with capacity for 300-600+ guests. Rather, it’s that the idea of the Asian wedding is now more flexible than ever, and, fortunately, London’s best Asian wedding venues are primed to deliver. Couples might want a smaller space for pre-wedding events, from Mehndi and Sangeet to Haldi, Dholki or Garba, on-site, with outdoor options for the Haldi or Mehndi. Others might combine the Mehndi and Sangeet into one day, or create different guest lists for different events.

Whichever route you and your partner are going down, we’ve rounded up London’s finest Asian wedding venues complete with halal caterers, multi-day hires, and varied spaces. Catering for a whole host of styles and budgets, you'll find a couple of cheap Asian wedding venues in this list, as well as London’s best Asian wedding halls for those planning a big bash and requiring a large space.

Its approved caterers include Asian cuisine, making it a particularly interesting option for couples who want a characterful setting without compromising on catering flexibility.

Raven’s Ait, Surbiton

What: Raven’s Ait may be just on the outskirts of London, but hosting a wedding on your own little private island sounds like a truly magical celebration in our opinion. Say ‘I do’ against the idyllic backdrop of the River Thames with an al fresco ceremony, or celebrate under the sprawling marquee, which can accommodate up to 250 guests.

Dressed to the nines, this lavish venue will have you feeling like you’re in a fairytale, with ornate chandeliers in each of its wedding spaces. The Regency Suite is the largest and can host a wedding breakfast for 300 (400 for the reception), whilst the outdoor pavilion is ideal for an al fresco reception for 200.

Number 90, Hackney

What: Need a venue for that important, large-scale party? Number 90's collection of spaces gives couples plenty of scope to divide up the celebrations, with different areas suited to dinner, drinks, dancing and, unusually, a day-after brunch. That makes it particularly appealing for a modern Asian wedding where the main event is only part of the story. There is space for DJs and live entertainment, while the canal-side setting and terraces bring a more relaxed feel than a grand hotel. For couples who want a wedding that gradually turns into a very good party, rather than one that sticks rigidly to a running order, it's an intriguing option.
Capacity: Up to 650 at No90 Lock, 500 at No90 Hideout, 1,000+ with full venue hire
Licensed for ceremony: No
Where: 90 Main Yard, Wallis Road, E9 5LN

Shampan, Bromley

What: If great food and experienced caterers are high on your priority list, Shampan is one of the first places you should look. An Indian restaurant and event venue, accustomed to hosting wedding meals, it's a great choice for couples seeking a more intimate reception. The Mint Room seats up to 60, with the smaller Cinnamon Room accommodating up to 50, so think family wedding breakfast, engagement party, mehndi or a smaller reception rather than a 300-strong celebration. Menus are firmly rooted in Indian cuisine and halal options are available. It could also make a useful stop within a larger, multi-venue wedding, particularly for couples who want one event to feel more intimate.
Capacity: Speak with the team for specific numbers
Licensed for ceremony: No
Where: 38 Chatterton Road, BR2 9QN

The King’s Gallery can accommodate up to 110 for the meal, or 170 standing, while larger celebrations will find a worthy space in the 190-seater Orangery, with the option to include the palace rooms for late-night dancing. Importantly, Kensington Palace also offers all the practical support needed, including specialist Asian caterers and entertainment suppliers listed among approved partners. If you’re looking to go big on experience, nowhere impresses quite like it.

What: Looking for a venue that’s just as momentous as the occasion itself? Set in St James’s, Banqueting House is hard to beat. The Main Hall is primed for a wedding breakfast with up to 380 guests, dining beneath a one-of-a-kind gilded ceiling painted by Baroque artist Paul Rubens, while the Undercroft downstairs conveniently hosts the same number for a standing post-meal reception. Alternatively, once dinner is over, the Main Hall can be transformed for dancing and entertainment. Whatever you prefer, with Banqueting House’s partners, Asian catering, entertainment and decor specialists, plus consecutive hire options, there's also scope to build in more than just the main wedding day.
Capacity: Up to 450
Licensed for ceremony: Yes
Where: Whitehall, SW1A 2ER
Find out more: Banqueting House

Hampton Court Palace, East Molesey

What: A wedding at Hampton Court doesn't have to mean doing everything in one spectacular room. That's rather the point of a sprawling palace, right? The Great Hall can provide the grand entrance for the ceremony, while gardens and smaller rooms offer somewhere to gather for drinks or more intimate parts of the day. Alternatively, host the wedding feast with 220 in The Great Hall (or 180 in The Garden Room), opting for one of Hampton Court’s expert Asian caterers, then decamp to the Undercroft for dancing and an after-party. There's also considerable scope for larger-scale outdoor and marquee celebrations.
Capacity: Up to 220
Licensed for ceremony: Yes
Where: Hampton Court Way, KT8 9AU

Chelsea Old Town Hall, Chelsea

What: With an easily accessible location on the King’s Road, Chelsea Old Town Hall is a shrewd choice for couples who want to get hitched surrounded by history. The regal setting is punctuated by mahogany-panelled walls and soaring marble columns, while the collection of original oil paintings lining the walls makes for a stunning backdrop for photographs. The Main Hall seats up to 180 for dinner, while the Small Hall can accommodate up to 96 for a banquet, making either viable for a more intimate Asian wedding or individual pre-wedding event. For large receptions, the Main Hall is a must, boasting space for up to 400 standing guests.

Floor-to-ceiling windows let the natural light pour in and give your guests a gorgeous view of the canal - in fact, you can even make a grand entrance by canal boat if you want to really push the boat out.

Asian wedding venues in London FAQs

Planning any wedding is a big task. But when it's likely to be large, with extended family in attendance, it can help to have a little guidance. Read on to get your questions answered:

How much do Asian wedding venues in London cost?

Venue hire costs vary considerably, depending on the number of guests, location, whether you go for exclusive hire and what’s included. Smaller wedding venues in London can range from £1,500 at the very cheapest to £5,000 (roughly £3,000 on average), while larger venues and premium spaces in central London will cost more. How much you dedicate to catering, decor, accommodation, and multi-day hire will also affect overall costs. Venues with all-inclusive packages offer a more budget-friendly option.

What capacity should I look for when browsing Asian wedding venues in London?

It’s really up to you! For a more traditional, grand wedding celebration, most will seek out venues that can accommodate 300-600+ guests. These include larger ballrooms, banqueting spaces, and hotel event halls. However, more recently, Asian weddings have trended towards smaller, more intimate venues, hosting up to 200 guests. When comparing capacities, it’s best to have an idea of your guest list and budget, but consider the layout as well as catering stations and facilities.

Which areas of London are popular for Asian wedding venues?

West London, particularly around Southall, is an established choice for Asian weddings, while North London areas including Wembley, Harrow and Enfield and East London around Ilford and Stratford also have a strong selection of venues. Central London works well for couples prioritising a prestigious location, hotels and historic venues, although these spaces are likely to command higher prices.

What types of venues work well for Asian weddings in London?

There’s much more choice than dedicated Asian banqueting halls. Grand hotel ballrooms, historic halls, purpose-built banqueting suites, country-house-style properties and flexible event spaces can all work for Asian weddings. The right choice depends on the format of the celebration, whether you need several event spaces, your catering requirements, and whether you’d like accommodation on site, production amenities, and planning teams experienced in Asian weddings.

What are the latest trends in Asian weddings in London?

Over the last few years, we’ve seen Asian weddings (particularly in London) becoming more flexible in scale and format, with couples moving away from the idea of a huge guest list, and dedicating more of the budget to personal touches, food, and venue hire. Often, couples may choose to combine certain events typically hosted across consecutive days into one, so venues with flexible layouts and distinctive interiors are building momentum.

Still not decided on a venue? It's worth exploring the best Asian wedding venues across the UK for more options, many of which are easily reached from London. Our handy feature on how to choose a wedding venue, will help guide you through the process, so you can begin wedding planning.
