If you're still searching for the perfect wedding venue and you're hoping to say 'I do' in our great capital, read on! Hidden away in one of the most beautiful Royal Parks and managed by Regent's Conferences & Events, Regent's University London offers an idyllic setting for your wedding reception right in the heart of the city.
Regent's Park, as we know it today, was designed in 1811 by John Nash, the favoured architect of the Prince Regent, later George IV. Surrounded by classical style terraces, Regent's Park spans over 410 acres and includes a lake, canal and a number of villas. Almost two centuries later, Regent's Conferences & Events was founded as the service trading arm of Regent’s University London which started life in 1913 as Bedford College, a pioneering higher education institution for women situated at the South Villa in the park's Inner Circle.

The beautiful red brick Georgian building is surrounded by four acres of private gardens known as York Lawns. This tranquil green space is ideal for outdoor wedding receptions and can accommodate up to 500 guests; while a selection of elegant indoor function rooms are perfect for more intimate numbers.
Industry recognised caterers offer an excellent range of menus and bespoke packages can easily be created to suit all budgets and requirements. Not only is this peaceful green location just minutes away from a selection of public transport links, there's also convenient onsite parking and excellent disability access.
