1. Views
There are a few reasons why selecting a venue with amazing views can hugely elevate your special day. The backdrop of your wedding plays a crucial role in conjuring atmosphere, setting the tone for the entire event. Whether you’re looking for something more serene and tucked away in London like King’s Place located on Regent’s Canal, or something more striking like the iconic South Bank locations Sea Containers and Rose Court, both occupying prime space on the Thames and boasting jaw-dropping views of the London skyline, the setting is crucial. Breathtaking surroundings not only add allure to your magnificent day, but also provide a frame for timeless photographs and cherished memories that will last a lifetime. In addition, the view can also act as a conversation starter for guests, providing a common point of admiration and connection. Whether born and raised in the city or in from out of town, the impact of the London skyline is undeniable and something worth talking about!

2. Food and drink
Food and drink are an integral part of ensuring that your guests’ overall experience is both enjoyable and memorable. A well-curated menu of wonderfully presented dishes will not only excite your guests, but also reflects the care and attention to detail you have put into crafting every element of your wedding day. Good food has the power to bring people together, spark conversation and forge connections among guests from all walks of life. Whether it’s a standing canape and bowl food reception, or a seated five course meal, you need the dishes to not only taste sensational, but also look sensational. Therefore, choosing a caterer who pour their heart and soul into all that they do, with award-winning chefs who use sustainable and seasonal ingredients and listen to your specific needs is essential.
3. Bespoke
Adding a bespoke element to your wedding day is the perfect way to ensure it is not forgotten in haste, and it is becoming increasingly popular. This is why being booking with a venue which has a strong events team with a wealth of experience is a great way to work out what unique elements will make your wedding stand out. Whether it’s working out the logistics of a bespoke photograph backdrop or designing customized cupcakes, it is much easier to get inspired when your dedicated event manager can share suggestions and advice about both space and catering personalisation.
4. Team
By choosing a one-stop-shop company such as Green & Fortune, all your needs will be seen to from the very beginning. From full event planning and management to complete operational delivery, all of the expert teams will be working together to ensure that every aspect of your special day is taken care of. Selecting a venue with staff who not only work well together, but also who are passionate about their work is imperative. This way you’ll be able to rest assured that it’s not only you who cares about the day running smoothly and becoming a treasured memory for both you and your guests.
5. Trusted suppliers
If you’re not sure where to start with added extras, it can be really useful to choose a venue who have long-standing relationships with suppliers. They will be able to organise all the additions without you having to lift a finger. Whether it’s a 360 photobooth, floral arrangements or a DJ, selecting companies who know the spaces and venue team well can help to alleviate stress in both the lead up and on the day.
