Practical Information
The Dorchester is a working luxury hotel, so wedding dates, room availability and pricing depend on season and wider hotel occupancy.

Where guest numbers or ceremony licensing are central to the booking decision, current capacities should be confirmed directly with the venue.
Pricing is provided on enquiry.
