Planning a winter wedding in London can feel daunting, but Georgia and Ben embraced everything the season had to offer. Soft winter light, classic architecture, candlelit spaces, and a touch of Christmas sparkle made this wedding unforgettable.

A 4pm Winter Ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall

Georgia and Ben chose a 4pm ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall, one of London’s most sought-after civil ceremony venues. Winter weddings benefit hugely from later ceremonies, and this timeline worked beautifully. It allowed us to capture portraits earlier in the day while the light was soft and flattering, without any rush or pressure.

Old Marylebone Town Hall is iconic for a reason. Its grand columns, clean lines, and timeless stone exterior create the perfect backdrop for elegant city weddings. Georgia looked incredible in her off-the-shoulder gown, paired with a sleek updo and a classic red rose bouquet, which added a bold, festive contrast against the winter whites of London.

Pre-Ceremony Portraits in Central London

One of the best decisions Georgia and Ben made was choosing to do their portraits before the ceremony. Winter daylight is limited, and by stepping out ahead of time we were able to create relaxed, editorial-style portraits without watching the clock.

The streets around Old Marylebone Town Hall offered the perfect mix of grandeur and intimacy. The quiet anticipation before the ceremony added something really special to these images. There is a calm, connected energy in pre-ceremony portraits that feels completely different to anything captured later in the day.

The celebrations continued with an intimate dinner at 34 Mayfair, a London institution known for its refined interiors and exceptional dining. This part of the day felt incredibly personal. Long tables, candlelight, and deep red florals created a warm, elegant setting that perfectly suited a winter wedding.

Georgia and Ben’s choice of venues flowed seamlessly from one to the next. Each space felt intentional and considered, while still allowing the day to feel relaxed and joyful rather than overly structured.

A Winter London Wedding Done Beautifully

Georgia and Ben’s wedding is a perfect example of how magical a December wedding in London can be. Thoughtful timing, iconic venues, and a willingness to embrace the season made their day feel timeless, elegant, and full of heart.

If you are planning a winter wedding at Old Marylebone Town Hall, or considering a London celebration that moves across multiple locations, this approach is one I always recommend. London truly shines in winter, especially when you allow space in the timeline to enjoy it.
