The Crypt of St Etheldreda's — Attraction in London

We had a fantastic time celebrating our wedding at The Crypt. It was everything we were looking for in a venue: an incredibly beautiful and historic setting, amazing food & wine, and brilliant 5-star service. We had so many compliments from guests during and after our day (and people still talk about the gorgeous food!)

During the planning, the team were so accommodating and bent over backwards to ensure we had everything we needed. We had a clear vision for how we wanted everything to look... I guess you could say we were on the more demanding end of the scale 😂 but this did not phase them at all. The team took everything in their stride: They always quickly answered all our (many) queries, were super accommodating for guest allergies and dietary needs, let us drop in and see the venue with our suppliers during planning, and were so incredibly flexible with how we were able use the space - and even how the food service was run (I told you we were demanding!)

On the day, the Crypt looked fantastic and the team made sure everything was perfect. Thank you so much, Benoit and the Crypt team, we couldn’t be happier... we just wish we could do it...

Lasting impressions: Beautiful venue, fantastic food, superb champagne

My experience: This was my first time to the Crypt, although we like the restaurant and bistro. We went for a Magnum club evening and it was everything you would expect of a Bleeding Heart event. The food was exquisite, the champagne was both wonderful and plentiful and the venue was lovely. One of the people on our table told us that they often host weddings there and it would be a lovely venue for a wedding. The staff were as charming and efficient as you would expect and we enjoyed the informative talks about the various champagnes we were drinking. It was an unapologetically extravagant evening and we enjoyed it thoroughly.

The verdict: We would...

What a special venue! We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day and feel very lucky we found this gem! From the setting to the service, everything went entirely smoothly. The venue speaks for itself - a medieval, beautiful, spacious crypt. We had around 80 guests and it was a perfect number. The food was of an extremely high standard. Our guests couldn't stop praising it. Benoit and his team offered the most professional service - to be honest, it's almost all too good to be true considering how reasonably priced the package is. Amazing venue, amazing food, amazing wine, amazing champagne,...
