We hire chuppahs across every London borough and install regularly at several of the city's five-star hotels, including The Savoy, The Langham, the Mandarin Oriental and Raffles London at The OWO. Our workshop is in St Albans, forty minutes from central London, so London weddings are our most frequent installations.
The venues we know
We install regularly at a number of London’s principal wedding venues, and there is a practical benefit to that beyond reassurance: we already know the loading bay, the lift dimensions, the ceiling height and the events manager’s name.
That knowledge is worth more than it sounds. Most of the problems that arise on a wedding day are access problems, and they are all solvable in advance by somebody who has been there before.
London synagogues
Alongside the hotels, we install regularly at synagogues across north and north-west London and into Hertfordshire and Essex, including Borehamwood & Elstree.
Synagogue ceremonies bring their own considerations – the position of the bimah, the sight lines from the women’s gallery, the community’s own customs about the chuppah. We work with the shul’s own arrangements rather than around them.
Which designs suit London rooms
London ballrooms tend to be tall, so scale matters more here than anywhere. The 10ft Perspex, the Gold Frame and the Mirror all hold a large room; an under-scaled chuppah in a Mayfair ballroom is the most common thing we are called in to correct.
For the city’s newer architectural venues – the OWO, Battersea, Trinity Buoy Wharf – the Circular, the Black Wood and the Metal Lace tend to suit the building better than a traditional drape.
