Win a Wedding of a Lifetime with Searcys

Confetti at the ready as the UK’s oldest event caterer and restaurateur Searcys gets set to offer one lucky couple the wedding of their dreams.

Making wedding dreams come true for the past 175 years, Searcys is marking its birthday with a true celebration of love with a giveaway of a wedding at one of its iconic partner venues: {10-11} Carlton House Terrace in Mayfair (pictured below), The HAC in the City and the art deco Searcys Brasserie and Champagne Bar at St Pancras International (pictured above), complete with venue hire, wedding breakfast and Champagne to toast to the happy couple wedding.

Choose from three stunning venues across the capital which are steeped in history, with Searcys signature wedding breakfast, including a choice of three starters, mains and puddings. 

Synonymous with weddings and parties, Searcys has been at the heart of celebrations for the past 175 years, making memories for couples across its prestigious venues. Established in 1847 by John Searcy, a confectioner to the Duke of Northumberland, Searcys quickly became renowned for its events and parties, with lavish balls catered by John himself. In fact, his wedding cakes were acclaimed for beautiful decorations which impressed brides and wedding guests alike. With wedding packages starting from two shillings a head (approx. 10p), Searcys menus would run up to a twelve course dinner with caviar, saddle of lamb and fruits corbeilles on the menu for 25 shillings – meaning a party of 100 is only £125 today! 

By the end of 19th century, Searcys became the capital’s most popular wedding caterer and fast-forward to 2022, Searcys continues to devote the same level of care and skill across its venues and events, paying tribute to its founder. For more information on Searcys and its magnificent venues, please visit: www.searcys.co.uk/venue-event/wedding-venues/

The Prize

One lucky winner will win a Searcys wedding, at their choice of the following venues: 

For Georgian opulence: {10-11} Carlton House Terrace 

Home to The British Academy, Carlton House Terrace is a spectacular Grade I townhouse located in the heart of Westminster. With views across St James’s Park, The Mall and many iconic London landmarks, the venue offers multiple picture-perfect rooms for celebrations, from intimate dos in the Music Room, to grand weddings in the Wolfson Room. 

For the regal backdrop: The HAC

Nestled in the heart of the city sits The Honourable Artillery Company, an exquisite 18th Century country house set in five acres of picturesque gardens. From grand ceremonies to intimate gatherings, exchange your vows surrounded by your loved ones in one of four licensed rooms nestled within Armoury House and the Prince Consort Rooms, with packages tailored to every couple. For a picture-perfect backdrop, step out to the sprawling Artillery Garden for Champagne and canapés, with the added option of dining alfresco and marquees.

A stop from Paris: St Pancras Brasserie and Champagne Bar by Searcys

Tie the knot under the arches of the station at the St Pancras Brasserie and Champagne Bar by Searcys. With the station licensed for ceremonies on the Grand Terrace, say your vows under Tracey Emin’s ‘I want my time with you’ before enjoying a Champagne tower reception at the art deco Brasserie. The brasserie is ready to host wedding breakfasts with a menu of seasonal British classics, and an optional dance floor for guests to strut their stuff. And with Paris one train journey away, the honeymoon is right on the doorstep.
