The Union Club

The Union Club is a private members' club in a Georgian townhouse at 50 Greek Street, in the middle of Soho. It is licensed for civil ceremonies, so the whole day can happen under one roof, from getting ready to the last drink. The rooms keep their period character, with a relaxed, lived-in feel that suits couples who want a city wedding without a hotel ballroom.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

Soho has long been one of the centres of LGBTQ+ life in London, and marrying here puts you in the thick of it. The club can be hired in parts or as a whole, so you can keep things small and private or take over the building for a bigger party. One team looks after the ceremony, the food and the drinks, which keeps the day simple to plan. Couples who marry here also receive a year of free membership.

Ceremonies

Ceremonies usually take place in the Dining Room on the first floor, an elegant space that seats up to 70 for the service. The Studio and whole club hire are also covered by the wedding licence. Smaller Georgian rooms upstairs work well for getting ready, storing gifts or taking a quiet moment together before you head down.

Receptions and food

The Dining Room seats around 60 for a wedding meal, and the Studio takes up to 100 seated or 120 standing. Hire the whole club and you can seat up to 120 or host up to 300 standing, rising to 350 with the Studio added. The Ground Floor Bar works for drinks receptions, and there is a roof terrace for fresh air above the Soho streets. Catering and drinks are handled in-house by the club's kitchen and bar team, and outside caterers are not used.

Getting there and the area

Greek Street runs south from Soho Square, a few minutes on foot from Tottenham Court Road station on the Elizabeth, Central and Northern lines. Leicester Square and Oxford Circus are also close. Soho is full of bars and restaurants for after-parties, and there are plenty of hotels nearby for guests.
