The Connaught:
Carlos Place in Mayfair is one of the quieter addresses in central London, which gives The Connaught a sense of discretion that suits a wedding well. The hotel is part of the Maybourne group alongside Claridge’s, The Berkeley, The Emory and The Maybourne Riviera. It is fully licensed for weddings and civil partnerships, and couples who prefer a religious ceremony can also use nearby Farm Street Church before returning to the hotel for the reception.
The Connaught works at a relatively intimate scale compared with the larger Maybourne properties. Four named event spaces accommodate between 6 and 180 guests, and a dedicated wedding coordinator manages every element from initial enquiry through to the day. Bespoke seasonal menus, master pâtissier cakes and cocktails at The Connaught Bar all contribute to a celebration that extends well beyond the ceremony itself.
The Event Spaces
The Mayfair Room is the largest and principal wedding space. Designed by Guy Oliver, it has antique mirrors, a sprung parquet dancefloor and cutting-edge audio-visual technology. It holds between 44 and 180 guests and suits both ceremonies and larger wedding receptions. The room sits on the lower ground floor and has its own distinct, self-contained atmosphere.
The Maple Room is the most versatile of the four spaces. It has floor-to-ceiling windows, maple panelling and a shimmering mirrored ceiling. It holds between 20 and 100 guests and suits intimate wedding ceremonies, wedding breakfasts and pre or post-wedding private dining equally well.
The Silver Room is a smaller, more intimate space with silvered oak panelling and views over Tom Stuart-Smith’s Garden of Illusion in the heart of Mayfair. It holds 8 to 10 guests and suits the most private pre-wedding dinners and intimate gatherings.
The Georgian Room sits on the first floor. It has leather chairs, an ebony table, an ornate mantelpiece and a grand window overlooking Carlos Place. It holds 6 to 10 guests and suits intimate rehearsal dinners and private family celebrations.
Dining and Bars
The culinary team creates bespoke, seasonal wedding menus for each couple. The kitchen approaches food with care and precision, and a master pâtissier designs cakes to order. Beyond the wedding breakfast itself, The Connaught Bar is one of London’s most celebrated cocktail destinations and suits welcome drinks and evening gatherings. The Red Room and The Grill at The Connaught provide further options for pre-wedding dinners and post-wedding lunches throughout the stay.
The Aman Spa and Accommodation
The Aman Spa at The Connaught offers pre-wedding treatments and a full wellness programme. It suits both the couple and the wider wedding party in the days before the ceremony. The hotel has 121 rooms and suites, each individually decorated and reflecting the Connaught’s long tradition of considered, personal hospitality. The Grosvenor Suite is one of the most sought-after accommodations in Mayfair and a natural choice for the wedding night.
Is The Connaught Right for Your Wedding?
The Connaught suits couples planning a refined, intimate Mayfair wedding where the quality of the setting, the food and the service define the experience. The four named spaces covering 6 to 180 guests, the Aman Spa, the master pâtissier cakes and the Maybourne group’s reputation for personal service make it one of the more considered five-star wedding venues in the capital. It also works particularly well for couples who want the celebration to feel like a private occasion in one of London’s finest hotels rather than a large formal event.
However, it is not suited to couples wanting a grand ballroom above 180 guests or an exclusive use property. As part of the Maybourne group, The Connaught operates alongside its wider hotel programme.
