RSA House

Central London

The RSA is one of the most popular civil wedding venues in Westminster, with a choice of six unique rooms licensed for ceremonies it’s no wonder they host over 60 weddings a year...

Located in the heart of London, just behind the Strand – the RSA house occupies a prime location for you to enjoy a unique setting for your special day.

This stunning venue can offer spaces to suit all styles of weddings. Whether you seek a formal seated Wedding breakfast or more casual event RSA House has it all, from the traditional Benjamin Franklin Room to the funky urban feel of The Vaults, they can offer a truly memorable setting to reflect your personal style.

Should you choose to marry elsewhere, why not move onto the RSA for your evening reception? The vaults make the perfect evening reception, from sophisticated drinks with canapés to a disco or live band, their extended license allows you to party through to midnight.

For those of you hoping to tread lightly down the aisle, the RSA are offering you ways to reduce the carbon footprint of your special day. More and more couples would like to have a ‘greener’ wedding but don’t know where to start. Most fear that it will be just too much work or cost the earth. For 2008 they are offering a special Footprint Wedding Package to help you plan a more environmentally friendly wedding and reduce the carbon footprint of your special day.

“The venue was fantastic, especially the ability to hold every element of the wedding at one location, while being able to change rooms giving every element a fresh feel. The ceremony and champagne reception in the Vaults were so unique and the wedding breakfast was wonderful- we were wary of ordering chicken but it was amazing- finally dancing set-up was wonderful. Overall service was exceptional, very satisfied.”

“Fantastic - all we could ever have hoped for and more. The RSA team were fantastic and were able to accommodate our desire for a big party rather than a formal meal (unlike most of the other venues we visited) and the vaults were a simply stunning location. Best night ever!!” “The RSA in London was absolutely fabulous in every aspect for my wedding. The personal attention to detail before and on the day was outstanding and all the staff were wonderful to deal with. Their guidance on choosing menus, florists, music, was great and everyone says it was the best wedding ever!”
