A step back in time Discover these beautiful wedding venues with a story to tell ANDAZ LONDON LIVERPOOL STREET 02076 185 618 | www.hyatt.com/andaz/longe-andazlondon-liverpool-street Andaz London Liverpool Street presents a unique, diverse range of event spaces perfect for weddings of all shapes and forms. Located just next to Liverpool Street Station, the property is the ideal setting for guests travelling from all around London or surrounding counties. With fourteen unique spaces to choose from, the hotel has an answer to every kind of dream wedding. The 1901 Ballroom offers a grand visual backdrop for wedding photos and even features an original stained-glass dome preserved through two world wars. It’s the ideal space for tying the knot for anyone who wants that traditional white wedding but with an added wow factor. The Masonic Temple is perhaps one of London’s best-kept secrets housed in the depths of the hotel. Concealed by heavy, studded doors and accessed via a winding staircase and a spacious mahoganypanelled anteroom, this is the city’s only original Freemason’s meeting lodge, built in 1912. The temple features magnificent marble and original masonic chairs, bringing the room’s history to life. Opulently furnished in twelve varieties of Grade II listed Italian marble, with Doric and Ionic columns, gilt fittings and a splendid zodiac ceiling, the temple was rediscovered only by chance during the hotel’s refurbishment. The Andaz Studio A is a modern, self-contained event room with an open-plan kitchen that encourages interaction with the chefs and floor-toceiling windows overlooking Liverpool Street, providing plenty of natural daylight. The feature cellar wall and photographs of the team evoke a local feel, paired with the room’s contemporary loft-style aesthetic. The Great Eastern Room nods to the hotel’s original name; this large, contemporary, multi-functional dining space is ideal for wedding receptions. The space leads to a bright, airy Guggenheim-inspired adjoining atrium, which is flooded with natural light. Customisable neon lighting is available on ceilings and windows, allowing for delightful personal touches to be made. The Bishopsgate & Chancery is a traditional Victorian event space with artfully designed high ceilings and plenty of daylight through sizable windows. With stunning architecture and lighting, the setting creates beautiful, sophisticated wedding photos and a grand atmosphere. Licensed for weddings, the adjoining Chancery room is ideal for ceremonies, catering, or pre-dinner drinks. Fenchurch is open and airy, featuring beautiful architecture, central fireplaces and grand columns. With its refreshment area, it’s ideal for the vows and wedding receptions. With 267 spacious and modern guest rooms, including 15 suites, guests can sink into a night of luxury in uniquely decorated rooms that all embody the welcoming ethos of the Andaz. 27 HISTORIC VENUES
