Nestled in the heart of Mayfair, this Grade II* listed 18th century Georgian treasure offers an exquisite setting for couples seeking a day that is both luxurious and unforgettable. Steeped in history, with neoclassical architecture, sumptuous interiors, and an Art Deco flair, The Lansdowne Club combines timeless elegance with contemporary comfort, making it the perfect backdrop for weddings of every style and scale.
A Heritage of Celebration
Dating back to 1763, Lansdowne House has witnessed landmark events, extraordinary gatherings, and legendary social soirées. From pivotal moments in international diplomacy to the iconic parties hosted by Harry Gordon Selfridge in the 1920s, the Club has long been synonymous with refinement and exclusivity. Today, this spirit of hospitality continues, allowing couples to create their own memorable celebrations in surroundings that have been cherished for over two centuries.
Spaces to Celebrate
The Lansdowne Club offers a variety of striking spaces for weddings, each imbued with character and elegance. The Grade II* listed Ballroom, designed by Robert Adam, features ornate ceilings and minstrel galleries and accommodates up to 190 guests. Its grandeur makes it an unforgettable venue for exchanging vows, speeches, and first dances, and it is licensed for civil ceremonies. Overlooking the Courtyard, the adjoining Long Gallery provides an idyllic setting for arrival drinks.
For more intimate celebrations, the Shelburne Room accommodates 20 to 50 guests, while the Findlay Room is ideal for pre-wedding dinners or private gatherings for up to 18. The Crush Hall, with its original 18th-century features and shimmering chandelier, creates a stunning backdrop for cake-cutting ceremonies. The Library by Henry Brosi, the newest addition to the Club’s dining portfolio, offers an elevated private dining experience for up to 12 guests, perfect for smaller celebrations, engagement dinners, or post-civil ceremony meals, providing exclusivity and refinement in equal measure.
Food and Drink
Food is central to every celebration at The Lansdowne Club. Executive Head Chef Henry Brosi, formerly of The Dorchester, curates exquisite menus featuring seasonal British and European produce. Couples can select from three wedding menu packages: Something New, Something Borrowed, and Something Blue, each offering a thoughtfully paired drinks selection, canapés, and a three-course meal designed to impress. Every package includes a toast drink for all guests and can be tailored to suit personal preferences and dietary requirements.
For those wishing to add a touch of theatre to their gatherings, The Lansdowne Club is proud to be a member of the Confrérie du Sabre d’Or UK and Ireland, a global society dedicated to the art of sabrage and the enjoyment of Champagne. As a recognised Caveaux, the Club has licensed sabrage instructors on its team who can open bottles with dramatic flair to mark the start of a celebration. Guests may also learn the art of sabrage themselves under expert guidance, creating a spectacular and memorable moment to begin the evening, perfect for leading into the first toast or dinner opening.
Refined Accommodation and Amenities
The Club’s 73 elegantly appointed rooms and suites provide comfort and tranquillity for wedding guests. Couples enjoy a complimentary bridal suite, with a bottle of champagne to celebrate their first night as newlyweds. Guests have access to the Club’s private facilities, including the 25-yard Art Deco swimming pool, fully equipped gym, and Hiro Miyoshi hair and beauty salon. Breakfast is served in the Dining Room, allowing everyone to begin the day in relaxed, refined comfort.
Bespoke Service
Exceptional service and attention to detail define a Lansdowne Club wedding. The dedicated Wedding Team guides couples through every stage of planning, creating celebrations that reflect their unique vision. From tailored décor and personalised menus to red carpet arrivals and anniversary dinners, every element is executed with elegance and care. Dry hire options are also available, enabling couples to bring external caterers for fully bespoke culinary experiences.
“Our aim is to bring each couple’s vision to life in a way that reflects both their style and the Club’s heritage. Every detail, from bespoke menus to lighting and décor, is designed to create an unforgettable day. ” – Inga Mikusauskiene, Events Manager.
