Hannah C. Sent on 21/01/2024Fantastic pub, amazing wedding reception!
We got married on the 6th January 2024 at the Mayfair Library and hired a Routemaster to take us, and 76 guests, to the Elgin for the reception. It was exactly what we were hoping for and more! The staff were incredibly helpful since our first enquiry, and we planned the entire wedding in less than 3 months!
The pub itself has a cool, laid back ambiance to it, with great interior so doesn't need too much additional decoration. The additional probs we did bring along were all set up beautifully and brought our vision to life.
The food was outstanding and they managed to cater for a number of different dietary requirements. All of our guests commented on how impressed they were with the food - and will be going back!
The team were extremely attentive and helpful from day one. On the day they helped keep track of timings to make sure we didn't overrun before evening guests arrived. They also took care of the take-town and prepared everything to be collected the following day.
Highly recommend if your after a fun, relaxed reception with great food and perfect space to have a good time! -

Great food, drinks and people!
From our initial enquiry to the moment we left on our wedding day, the service was outstanding. Cara guided us seamlessly through the planning process, and Sonny, along with the rest of the staff, ensured everything ran smoothly on the 15th. Our guests are still raving about the food and the spiced rum punch. I didn’t manage to catch everyone’s names on the evening, but a huge thank you to all of you—you were an essential part of making it the best day! -

The best day ever - made possible by The Elgin!
We had an amazing wedding at The Elgin in October. From our first email with Cara it was clear that everything would be handled so expertly, with the planner making everything very clear. Communication was excellent and turning up on the day to have everything done, with such brilliant and thoughtful decoration, was wonderful. The team helped the day go by go smoothly - and had the patience of saints during the flurry of espresso martini orders! Couldn’t have asked for anything to be better. The best day! -

Perfect Evening Wedding Reception
From start to finish our experience with the Elgin was fantastic.
So well organised with all pre-planning and always quick with responses on any queries. Incredibly accomodating and set the room up perfectly.
Food and service and whole atmosphere was amazing, staff couldn't do enough to help, so friendly and engaging.
Food was so delicious and so much of it for what we paid. Fully accommodated our plant based requests.
Would 100% recommend. Can't fault a thing. All our guests were blown aswell. -

AMAZING venue and incredible service - book the Elgin now!
We held our wedding reception here in October and had the most amazing time. From the initial enquiry to after the event, I cannot explain just how incredible the entire Elgin/ULG team were in making our wedding even more special than we ever thought it could be.
When enquiring/planning the ULG team of Caroline, Robert and Cara were brilliant in answering all my many questions, so responsive and accommodating for whatever requests I made. We visited the pub a few times before the day and every time someone on site was there to help with questions. The online planner for inputting all the information is so easy and a great way to keep track of what you’re ordering/spending.
The onsite team led by Sonny are absolutely incredible. One of things which sold the Elgin to us was the fact we could drop the decorations in advance, the team handled all the set up (brilliantly as well!) and then stored them for us for a week after until we could collect. This is something not many venues offer (usually only the days either side of the wedding) and made such a huge difference to us and took such a worry off my mind in the days leading up to the wedding. But not only that the team took such care in setting everything up in line with my plans making sure things like place settings and memory displays for lost relatives were perfect.
On the day the team were even more fantastic, ensuring guests were well taken care of with plenty of food and drink and even dealing with last minute requests such as change in dietary requirements.
The venue itself is brilliant, set across two floors and barely needs any decorations. The food is fantastic – we had canapes, two course sharing meal and then evening food. All of our guests raved about how good everything was, and portions are very generous!
I would completely recommend the Elgin for a celebration venue!

Paula C. Sent on 30/10/2024Fantastic venue - highly recommend!
The team at the Elgin were fantastic from start to finish for our wedding. We hired the entire venue and chose a late finish.
Rob and Cara were brilliant at answering all my many varied questions and chasing me up when I needed it! We found the handover phone call with Cara to be particularly helpful as she has great advice on how to get the most from the time and make it a truly memorable experience for our guests as well as ourselves.
On the day itself, the place looked brilliant and there wasn't a thing out of place. I had several guests approach me just to tell me that the vibe and ambiance was wonderful and the food was the best they had ever eaten at a wedding (as we knew it would be!). A few of our local friends have said they will be back to enjoy a pint and a meal another time.
All of the staff were great too - everyone said how friendly they were and they all did a fab job at keeping the place clean and tidy. Tom and Sonny were super helpful throughout the whole process which took a lot of stress out of it. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Elgin. -

The Elgin were absolutely amazing from start the finish. They made the entire process so so easy and on the day it was seamless.
The pub itself has so much charm you really don't need to have many decorations, and it's a great size that makes it feel full and buzzing all day.
Cara and Robert were brilliant on the planning side, and then Sonny and Tom on the day were amazing!
Didn't need a coordinator or planner as they make everything run like clockwork. -

Wedding Reception 26.09.24
Cannot recommend the Elgin enough. Caroline and Cara in the planning stages were beyond helpful, really appreciated the level of flexibility when it came to timings and always available to answer any questions.
The venue team are also amazing, everyone is so nice and accommodating, special mention goes out to JJ. The food was incredible, lunch and evening, we've had messages from our evening guests just to mention how good the food was!
Thanks again for making our day even more special than it already was, we really had the best time! -

Ben Sent on 21/09/2024The perfect venue
Our day couldn’t have gone any better. We had so many compliments from our guests as to the venue and the food. A really well presented room with everything we needed for the day, and a bar offering a great variety of drinks. We really couldn’t have been happier with our choice!
Tom and the team were fantastic on the day and with all the prep leading up to the day. Nice and relaxed organisation, everything ran very smoothly.
