The Old Marylebone Town Hall Weddings
A Guide To Getting Married At
The Old Marylebone Town Hall
One of London’s Most Iconic Wedding Venues, This Is Where London Gets Married
There is a reason Old Marylebone Town Hall has hosted more celebrity weddings than almost any other register office in the world. Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Liam Gallagher, Elizabeth Taylor, twice, and Mick Jagger.
It is not nostalgia that draws couples to Marylebone.
It is the building itself, a late-Victorian civic building on the Marylebone Road, grand in scale without being intimidating, beautiful without being fussy, and situated in one of London’s most elegant neighbourhoods.
You walk up those steps and through those doors, and something about the occasion feels genuinely significant.
This is not a hotel ballroom dressed to look important. This building has been important for over a century, and it shows.
Getting married at The Old Marylebone Town Hall feels like a proper London love story. All that beautiful stone, the steps, the doors, the history wrapped into one backdrop.

Photographing At The Old Marylebone Town Hall
Every wedding I photograph starts with a conversation. Not about packages or shot lists, about you, your day and what you actually want to remember.
A Marylebone Town Hall wedding has a particular energy, intimate, precise, unhurried. The ceremony rooms are beautiful but not vast. The moments happen quickly and close together.
Being ready for them requires knowing the building and understanding the pace of the day before it begins.
I arrive before your guests. I know the light in the ceremony rooms and where to position myself during the vows.
I know the steps outside and exactly when to have you there for the confetti. I know the surrounding streets, Chiltern Street, Paddington Street Gardens, and the quiet Georgian terraces of the area, for portraits after the ceremony.
The photographs you will still reach for in twenty years are the ones nobody staged. Those are the ones I am here for.
