Dream Wedding Venue and team!

Words cannot describe how lucky we feel to have been married at Life! Laura and her staff have been absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Every guest commented on how lovely the space was and how lovely the staff were. Laura took the stress out of the whole thing and meant we could focus on having a memorable and enjoyable day. This is THE BEST wedding venue ever! We highly recommend Life, Brown & Green!

Flexible, friendly and fun

We chose Brown & Green Life! for our wedding because in our first meeting with Laura we got the feeling that the venue and its team would be flexible enough to accommodate our ideas for a laid-back and unconventional wedding day. This was certainly the case and we were able to design a fun day tailored to us, our families and our friends. During the planning stage we benefited greatly from Laura's experience and creativity as she added suggestions and advice to our own ideas while encouraging us with her positivity and enthusiasm. We found the last few weeks before our wedding day quite stressful, but Laura stayed calm throughout, which in turn stopped us from panicking about every tiny detail. On the day itself, we didn't just have Laura to hold our hands: Her staff and her sister Jess, who had thought up a BBQ lunch and a Thai buffet dinner for us, looked after us and gently guided us and our guests through the wedding day of our dreams.

A perfect wedding gem in Crystal Palace Park

We could not recommend Brown & Green more as a wedding venue. We knew as soon we saw it, it was going to be perfect for us, and it exceeded all our expectations.

Laura made all the preparations and organisation of our day so seamless and stress-free, and did everything to make it a day that really suited us. And the food was wonderful, a perfect wedding meal put on by Jess and the Spam team. They also connected us with a fantastic celebrant, who delivered a gorgeous ceremony for us.

Everything about the day was perfect, and we didn’t have to think about a thing on the day. We were so pleased, and all of our guests kept telling us how nice the venue was. We wish we could do it all again!

2024 Wedding Ceremony

We had our wedding ceremony here in June and it was perfect. We had been struggling to find what we wanted locally so we're so happy when we came across Brown and Green. A really beautiful location in the park by the lake, but also a bit different/"cool".Laura was great in helping us get organised, taking all our ideas on board and bringing her own suggestions, and I felt happy she would have everything under control on the day (which she did!) Would definitely recommend! (Note we only had our ceremony here and reception elsewhere)

Beautiful day in the middle of the park

We had our wedding ceremony and drinks reception at Brown and Green in June and it was absolutely perfect.

The space is bright and cosy at the same time, with beautiful outside space backing onto the lake in the park. Guests can even go on the pedalos which was such a fun addition to the day.

Laura was the perfect mixture of organised and calm, taking everything in her stride and being fantastic on the day getting things organised and being the friendly face for my nervous fiancé and all our guests. She was flexible, working plans to our budget, really grateful for how
easy she made things for us.

I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed, fun and pretty space for a city wedding!

2024 bride at B&G Life

We knew from our first meeting at Life that it was the venue for us – the setting is stunning but also it was really clear from the off that Laura the venue co-ordinator really knows the ins and outs of running a wedding.

Over the 18 months of planning Laura was always there to answer questions for us in a timely way and to give advice on the best way to do things, while allowing for our preferences.

On the wedding day Laura and the team did an amazing job of keeping everything running smoothly, even in the face of unexpected torrential rain changing the plan. I really appreciated them being adaptable, making decisions, and texting my bridesmaid with updates so I didn't have to think about it all while I was getting ready.

The wedding was honestly the best day of mine and my husband's life, and the venue was a huge part of that. It was so atmospheric in that room. And we knew that the day would run smoothly because Laura was there.

So many guests complimented us on what an amazing venue it was. We really can't recommend you Laura as a wedding co-ordinator, or B&G weddings, highly enough.

Exceptional, wish we could do it again!

We got married at Life in July and worked with Laura for just over a year to plan it. We and our guests had the most incredible day and couldn’t speak more highly of the venue, the organisation and the staff. Laura was worth her weight in gold and made the planning process so enjoyable. Before booking with Laura we had been burnt with another venue which had really set the tone and made us wonder what the rest of the wedding industry was like - we will always be so grateful to Laura for completely smashing our expectations and restoring our faith, helping us to create the most amazing day, and be so on it during the day that we didn’t have to worry about a single thing and could just enjoy. We wouldn’t hesitate to tell everyone to get married at Life, and our only wish would be to do it all over again!
