The Drum is home to a number of flexible contemporary event spaces. Whether you are looking for an intimate ceremony room for just close family and friends, or you need something grander for hundreds of guests, The Drum has stunning options to offer. Their brand new wedding suite for up to 100 guests on the ground floor has access to beautiful landscaped gardens, while up on level one is the impressive double-height circular Grand Hall which can hold up to 1,000 guests. The level three rooms lead out onto an open-air terrace, complete with trees and planting and incredible views of Wembley stadium.
State-of-the-art sound and lighting technology is built into all spaces, and for friends and family unable to attend your wedding, web-filming facilities enable you to stream your big day live on the Internet. The venue works closely with a number of professional catering and event services partners, all chosen specifically for their high standards and attention to detail. www. thedrumatwembley. com
Take the stage
Your unique wedding requires a truly special setting. Where better than your very own stage at The Birmingham REP? Its diverse spaces and theatrical setting offers couples a singular dramatic location to tie the knot. They host only a few weddings every year, so each one is very important to them. You can be sure your special day will receive the same attention to detail they give to their spectacular stage productions – they are in the business of realising dreams and making memories, so The REP is just the place to give your special celebration the theatrical magic it deserves.
Pure theatre
The magnificent Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, opened in 2010, is an architectural landmark – and an incredibly beautiful building, both externally and internally. The venue can seat 1,200 people for its dynamic and diverse programme of shows, but it is also possible to transform the theatre to an entirely flat floor with an internal bar. This incredible versatility means it can provide the perfect setting for wedding reception parties of all sizes.
Getting married within a working theatre presents many opportunities for impressing your guests. There are lots of interesting spaces in which to hold the ceremony, a wedding meal and the reception party. Whether you want a simple yet classy event or something much more lavish and quirky, every wedding is carefully prepared and delivered with impeccable service by their team. www. birmingham-rep. co. uk
The theatre is licensed for civil weddings, and if you team the dramatically majestic setting with the theatre’ s full events service – including bespoke catering, accommodation bookings, transport bookings, production and logistics management, not to mention their fully trained event staff – you and your guests are guaranteed to have a wedding to remember. The theatre is conveniently located with good transport links, plentiful parking and is close to many hotels. www. aylesburytheatre. org
