Weddings
Kent House Knightsbridge is licensed for weddings and with its great location makes the perfect central London wedding venue. You are able to exclusively hire the whole townhouse so it’s yours for the day. Our two downstairs rooms, The Rutland Room and The Library, provide the perfect intimate backdrop for your special occasion. After your ceremony, your guests can enjoy a drinks reception in our Marble Hall before being directed up the sweeping Grand Staircase into the Sanctuary which will be dressed for the wedding breakfast.
Bar or Bat Mitzvah Celebrations
The transition from childhood to adulthood is the most important ceremony of a Jewish girl or boy’s life. Kent House Knightsbridge is the perfect venue for bar/bat mitzvah celebrations, enabling you to tailor the space to celebrate it in a way that reflects your family.
Styling
Kent House Knightsbridge is described as a ‘blank canvas’ venue. This means it can be styled to reflect the building’s elegant architecture, or dressed with dramatic flourishes using theatrical lighting, opulent styling and beautiful flower arrangements. Over the years we’ve created a range of events such as winter wonderlands, a tropical beach complete with palm trees, romantic 1920s vintage styling and modern bright colour schemes. The flexibility of the venue means it can be styled to reflect whatever theme you’d like to create.
Catering & Entertainment
Kent House offers you the exclusivity of celebrating your simchah in a private house in Knightsbridge, with a range of budgets and tastes. We work with leading kosher catering companies including Philip Small and Zeitlin & Co. We also have close ties with a wide range of leading suppliers including florists and live entertainers. Many of our events have benefited from live music at the reception and close-up performers which helps to break the ice and get everyone chatting. DJs are available to take the party into the night, including Israeli dancing and songs. Should you wish to enhance your occasion we will be able to provide you with recommendations tailored to suit the occasion.
