The Connaught: A Culinary Wedding Wonderland

Michelin-Starred Magic

At the heart of the venue’s gastronomic reputation is Hélène Darroze at The Connaught–a three-Michelin-starred experience where every dish tells a story. Her menus are crafted with emotion, rooted in seasonality, and styled with precision; elevating the idea of a “wedding meal” into a moment of theatre.

Imagine your reception beginning with a delicate amuse-bouche and unfolding into a curated journey of flavor, artistry, and celebration.

The Art of the Feast: Chef-Curated Menus

Every couple is invited to co-create a bespoke wedding feast, beginning with a private consultation and progressing through tasting sessions and personalization. Whether you’re honoring your cultural heritage or simply sharing your favorite flavors, The Connaught’s culinary team brings your vision to life with refinement and flair.

The Chef’s Table also offers an exclusive, immersive dining experience: a private setting for rehearsal dinners or intimate celebrations, where you and your guests can enjoy a menu tailored entirely to you.

Bespoke Cocktails, Poured with Precision

No celebration at The Connaught London is complete without a stop at the legendary Connaught Bar.

The Connaught Bar has consistently ranked among the best in the world, having been placed in the Top 5 in 2023. Here, expert mixologists craft cocktails that are as expressive as they are elegant–from signature drinks to tailored creations inspired by your wedding theme, heritage, or personal story.

Picture this: a martini prepared tableside on a silver trolley, or a custom aperitif served as guests arrive. These subtle yet luxurious details set the tone for an extraordinary evening.

Pre-Wedding Soirées with a Gourmet Twist

Before the big day comes the delicious build-up. At The Connaught London, hen and stag celebrations take on a new meaning to be transformed into elevated, curated, and deeply personal events.

Think:

  • Private caviar and champagne tastings in an intimate dining room
  • Interactive cocktail-making sessions with in-house mixologists
  • Afternoon teas with couture cakes, scones, and bridal toasts
  • Cooking workshops or bespoke wine pairings for your inner circle

Every element can be styled to suit your tastes, with custom menus and experiences that turn a simple celebration into a moment worth remembering.
