Autumn Wedding @ RSA

What an amazing venue and RSA team. The whole day went like clockwork, staged by the brilliant Sarah N-L and her team. The way the property is set out facilitates a huge amount of re-staging of flowers etc in different places invisibly. It was quite magical. The formal rooms are exquisite and the vaults below set a perfect end to an evening. The food again was definitely fine dining! We worked with Wild at Heart Flowers and Lyndsey Goddard for photography - two other perfect choices on the day! And we had blue skies and sunshine too! What more could you wish for!

Absolute dream wedding venue

My husband and I just got married at RSA last weekend, and it was such a dream come true. Sarah has been phenomenal from day 1, super organised and detailed and welcoming and has been tremendous help to me the whole process. On the day she was super involved and had everything in order, so we had nothing to worry about! She goes above and beyond the scope of the usual venue coordinator, and we felt so at ease knowing she is there for us. I can tell that she genuinely enjoyed what she does and loves wedding and is having a great time, and such a positive bubble of energy to be around - I adore her! The venue is stunning, and the food is amazing. All our guests were happy and well fed, which was my absolute number 1 priority. There is more space than you can actually use, and they let us utilise the spare rooms for storage, for a kids room, and even room for kids to sleep. We had our ceremony in Benjamin Franklin room, wedding breakfast in Great room and party in the Vault, and each room has such a unique vibe that is hard to tell we were in the same venue! Overall we had an absolute blast, and would like to 100% recommend the RSA, and will forever look back with fond memories.

Everything we could have dreamed from a venue

Our wedding day was perfect, thanks to The RSA. Firstly, of course the building is beautiful, every room we utilised has its own story and own character which made every element of the wedding different - we got so many comments on how the vaults was an amazing party space. But most importantly, Amanda and the team were fantastic. Through the planning process Amanda was so helpful, answering every tiny question and always taking the time to talk through ideas we had. Every interaction was pleasant, easy and she remained a calm, kind voice throughout. It truly felt like she was passionate about us having the wedding we hoped for, and every request we had was met with positivity. The whole team were amazing on the day, every member of staff was friendly and lovely, and the service during the breakfast was second to none. Clockwork. We also received so many comments on how delicious the food was, and it truly was. After the wedding, we had countless comments on the venue, and all our photos look striking. The Royal Society for Arts will always be a very special place to us in the heart of an incredible city. Thank you Amanda and the team, Love, Mr and Mrs Ferber

Brilliant wedding venue

We had a fantastic experience getting married at the RSA house. The venue has so many amazing spaces which helped make each part of the day feel special in their own right. Amanda, the wedding planner, was very attentive and answered questions promptly throughout the planning process and on the day. Many of our guests commented on how great the venue was, with the party space in the vaults being a particular highlight. We had an unforgettable day and we are very much happy to have chosen the RSA for our wedding venue.

10 out of 10 Experience!

We got married at RSA House on 26 November 2022 - and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Amanda and the team were fantastic in helping us make the most of the variety of spaces throughout the day and flexible on our approach. Food throughout the day was fantastic - the sit down meal, canapes, evening market stalls all delicious and great sized portions. Service was great on the day and all our guests felt very welcome and well looked after. Overall 10/10 experience from us...

Best Food

We got married at RSA House in February and had an incredible time. It by far exceeded our expectations. It was the first and only venue we went to view and was exactly what we were looking for in a central London venue. I loved that the whole wedding could be carried out in the same building...and each space was beautiful ... All the staff on the day of the wedding were very professional and made sure the day went smoothly. The food is the best food I had ever eaten at a wedding...

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you did to ensure the wedding went so well - they had their perfect day! Please pass on our very grateful thanks to everyone at RSA, the catering team, the reception team, the evening team - all combined seamlessly and produced a brilliant result. As the Bride's parents we of course wanted the best for our daughter's wedding and it could not have been better. A very special thanks to you, your support in the planning and on the day itself...

Perfect Wedding Venue!

"RSA was the first venue we saw for our wedding and boy it set the benchmark! The venue is stunning offering different rooms for the various activities of the day including the basement vaults which were perfect for dancing the night away! Everyone commented on how relaxed i was as a bride to be and my answer was always “I booked an amazing venue and Amanda is the most amazing event coordinator!" I had no doubt that the day will go according to plan and I honestly felt so relaxed and happy..."

We had our wedding at RSA House because it offered so many unique and different spaces for our day from the ceremony to the reception, dinner and then party. The team at RSA provided so much support both in the planning process and on the day and made our day so special. The food was amazing too!
