Planning your wedding is one of the most exciting times in your life, but it can also come with its own set of challenges. The quest for the perfect venue – one that feels both special and suited to your unique style – can quickly become overwhelming. Couples often ask, “Where can I find a venue that’s elegant yet welcoming, spacious yet intimate?” The answer lies at The Clarendon Hotel, nestled in picturesque Blackheath Village.
At The Clarendon, we don’t just offer a wedding venue; we offer an experience designed to help you create unforgettable moments. With a range of beautifully restored spaces, from the grandeur of the Westcombe Park Suite to the cosy intimacy of the Regency Suite, The Clarendon provides the perfect setting for any wedding style.
A Venue for Every Style of Wedding
When it comes to choosing your wedding venue, the space has to feel right. Whether you’re imagining a lavish, traditional celebration with a grand guest list or a more intimate gathering with just close friends and family, The Clarendon offers versatile options designed to meet your every need.
1. The Westcombe Park Suite: Where Elegance Meets Celebration
What if you could walk into a space that combines elegance and excitement, setting the stage for both your wedding breakfast and an unforgettable evening reception? The Westcombe Park Suite does just that and is perfect for couples who envision a day filled with grandeur and a night full of dancing and celebration.
This suite is designed for larger weddings, comfortably seating up to 120 guests for a formal sit-down dinner and transforming into a space for up to 200 as the night progresses. With its retro lighting, built-in dance floor, and an air-conditioned bar, this is where your guests will dance the night away in style.
For couples who want a wedding that flows effortlessly from ceremony to reception, the Westcombe Park Suite offers both sophistication and functionality. Your guests can enjoy your wedding breakfast with the backdrop of crystal chandeliers before the suite transforms into a lively party space with a DJ or live band, all while you relax in the knowledge that every little detail is taken care of by your dedicated wedding coordinator.
What’s more, the Westcombe Park Suite has been designed with comfort and celebration in mind, giving you the best of both worlds – a refined setting by day and a party space by night. It’s the ideal solution for couples who want to maximise their space without compromising on style.
2. The Regency Suite: Intimacy and Charm
Not every couple wants a grand affair, and that’s where the Regency Suite comes in. Perfect for smaller, more intimate weddings, this space can comfortably host up to 50 guests for your wedding breakfast and up to 70 for your evening celebrations.
With its elegant Georgian décor and stunning views of Blackheath Village, the Regency Suite offers a classic English charm that’s hard to find elsewhere. Its private patio and adjoining bar area provide additional space for guests to mingle and relax, giving your wedding a warm, intimate atmosphere.
For couples who prefer understated elegance, the Regency Suite provides a timeless backdrop to your special day. Whether you’re planning a relaxed family gathering or a stylish reception, this room adapts effortlessly to your vision. The dedicated outdoor patio is the perfect spot for a post-ceremony drink, giving your guests a chance to enjoy the surroundings while you capture beautiful photos in The Clarendon’s private gardens.
And for those looking to host both the ceremony and reception in one place, the Regency Suite is also licensed for civil marriages, making it a wonderfully convenient choice!
