Top tips from London wedding venue Chelsea Physic Garden

We talk to Megan Taylor of Chelsea Physic Garden about what questiosn you should ask your wedding venue before booking...

The first question I would ask is what hire options are available, so you can find out how the venue can work best for you. Venues often offer a whole range of options, for example, we can host all-day weddings on Saturdays or you could opt for a weekday evening.

Next up, find out about the suppliers your venue works with. Venues trade on reputation and word-of-mouth, so tend to only work with suppliers that they trust. This means you get the benefit of pre-vetted companies so you can spend less time researching.

A great final question to ask, especially if your venue is outdoors, is if you can get legally married at the venue as well as holding your reception there. A lot of people don't realise that you can't get married outside. At Chelsea Physic Garden, you can be legally wed in our gallery space and enjoy a humanist ceremony al fresco, before beginning your unforgettable party. With all your guests in one place, you can have more time together to enjoy your special day.
