Crystal chandeliers cast dancing light across the polished floors of Great Western 1, our grandest celebration space where Victorian elegance meets contemporary comfort. We've hosted countless wedding receptions beneath these soaring 4.87-metre ceilings, watching as natural daylight streams through the tall period windows to illuminate first dances and heartfelt speeches. This pillar-free expanse of 282 square metres gives your wedding photographer endless possibilities, while your guests move freely between tables without obstruction. We can arrange seating for 240 at round banquet tables, perfect for wedding breakfasts, or configure the space for 300 standing guests during evening receptions. The room's generous proportions, stretching 25.37 metres in length and 11.12 metres across, mean your DJ or band has plenty of space to set up while still leaving an impressive dance floor. Our events team has transformed this room for weddings of every style, from traditional ceremonies to contemporary celebrations. The Victorian windows create a romantic backdrop for your ceremony, while our pre-event foyer provides the perfect spot for welcome drinks as guests arrive. We work closely with you on every detail, from the placement of your cake table to ensuring the lighting complements your chosen colour scheme. Your wedding party benefits from our prime position connected directly to Paddington Station, making arrival simple for guests travelling from across London or flying in via Heathrow, just 15 minutes away on the Express. Between courses, guests often step out to explore nearby Hyde Park for photos, returning to find our kitchen team has prepared the next course to perfection. The combination of historic architectural features and modern amenities, including full AV capabilities for speeches and presentations, ensures your celebration flows smoothly from afternoon ceremony through to late-night dancing.
