St Ermin's Hotel is a grand Victorian hotel on Caxton Street in Westminster, set back from the road behind a tree-lined courtyard. It hosts civil ceremonies and receptions for up to 140 guests, with hundreds of bedrooms upstairs for everyone who wants to stay.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

You can hold your whole wedding in one building, from the vows to the last dance and breakfast the next morning. Packages are tailored to each couple, so you can shape the day around your own priorities rather than a fixed format. The central Westminster address also makes it easy for guests travelling from across London and further afield.

Ceremonies

The hotel is licensed for civil ceremonies. The Crystal Ballroom, with its striking chandelier, is the showpiece room, and smaller rooms suit a more intimate gathering. After the ceremony, the sweeping staircase and the courtyard make memorable backdrops for photographs.

Receptions and food

Receptions take up to 140 guests, with the Crystal Ballroom as the main setting for dinner and dancing. Packages are designed to include what you need for the celebration, with a more lavish option if you want to go further. Caxton, the hotel's bar and restaurant, is a good place for pre-wedding drinks or a meal with family. Talk to the events team early about menus, timings and the look you want, and they will shape the package around it.

Staying

St Ermin's has 331 guest bedrooms across five room types, and your guests can book at a preferential wedding rate. A bridal suite is available for the two of you.

Getting there and the area

The hotel sits just off Victoria Street, a short walk from St James's Park station, with Victoria and Westminster stations also close by. Buckingham Palace, St James's Park and Westminster Abbey are all within easy walking distance, which gives guests plenty to explore over a wedding weekend. Victoria also has direct trains to Gatwick Airport.
