Weddings

Allow us to introduce the perfect Marriage. The Courthouse Hotel Kempinski unites refined luxury with an approachable demeanour. Formerly a Magistrates Court, this Grade II listed building retains many of its original features and is home to many historical visitors and scenes from John Lennon and Mick Jagger to Oscar Wilde. You join great company when choosing the Courthouse Hotel Kempinski to host your special ceremony and event.

We offer the perfect romantic location for your wedding ceremony; ideal for Civil Ceremonies, you can celebrate your wedding in a choice of our individually designed event spaces.

Having formed a Chef brigade with experience from some of the most renowned Hotels and restaurants, our philosophy is to tempt you visually, aromatically and finally with the satisfying taste. Carefully selected fresh ingredients form part of the tailor made menus we offer to suit every palate.

Our Executive Pastry Chef perfectly compliments the dining experience with his cake design and decoration. In close consultation with the couple he can advise on the creation of a classic, traditional or contemporary style Wedding cake.

Once your wedding ceremony has taken place, and you have celebrated the bonding of two souls, we are one of the few hotels in the world that has a variety of honeymoon suites to select from. As an example, our Lalique Penthouse Suite can be the perfect haven for the honeymooners. It is best described as a grandiose apartment, with the emphasis on pampering oneself. The newly weds can enjoy a visit to our Sanook Spa, to experience a range of beauty therapy or an energetic swim.

The perfect Marriage at The Courthouse Hotel Kempinski begins from the moment we begin the planning of your perfect wedding and reception, to when we bid you farewell on your new life as husband and wife. Our promise to you is to provide a "complete" service with guidance on flowers to invitations, photography to wedding favours, and if London is not the place for your honeymoon, as part of Kempinski Hotels, we can suggest five star locations throughout Europe, Asia, South America, Africa and The Middle East.

Official Arrangements for your Wedding

Once you have decided on the date for your Wedding Ceremony, an appointment must be made with the Superintendent Registrar at Westminster, in order to discuss their availability, your marriage details, its intended location and to make a provisional booking for the Superintendent Registrar and Registrar to attend. Without the presence of an official at your ceremony there can be no marriage and any reservations for the use of The Courthouse Hotel Kempinski depend entirely on their availability to perform the ceremony. We advise our clients to make contact with them at the earliest opportunity.

A notice fee is payable to the Register Office, assuming the couple live in the Westminster area. If one lives outside the Borough, then an additional fee is payable to that Borough also.

The ceremony fee for the Superintendent Registrar and Registrar varies and prices will be provided once you have made contact with them. Both need to be present to officiate the wedding ceremony, and the fee is required a minimum of 10 days prior to the ceremony date.

For further information, please contact Westminster Register Office, Westminster Council House, Marylebone Road, London NW1 5PT
