Our Ceremony


We’ll be having our wedding ceremony at

Lauderdale House - a beautiful historic house nestled in Waterlow Park in Highgate - and it’s a place that’s very close to our hearts.


Surrounded by greenery and overlooking the park, it feels peaceful and tucked away, while still being right in North London.


We’ve spent time there over the years, walking through the park, taking in the views and enjoying the calm in the middle of the city, so it feels incredibly special to begin our wedding day somewhere that already holds so many happy memories for us. It’s intimate, relaxed and full of warmth — the perfect place for us to say our vows.


After the ceremony, we’ll be staying at Lauderdale House for drinks and canapés so everyone can relax, mingle and soak up the moment before the celebrations continue.


Then we’ll transport you all on to the reception venue to keep the party going for the rest of the evening.


We can’t think of a more meaningful place to start the day, and we’re so excited to share it with you.

Our Reception


If you’re picturing a traditional hotel wedding - ballroom, chandeliers, round tables, carpet and a hotel bar and lobby - The Depot N7 is a little different (in the best way).


Instead of a classic hotel function room, it’s a cool industrial-style space in North London with exposed brick walls, high ceilings and loads of natural light.


There’s a big central bar that becomes the heart of the party, and different levels (including a mezzanine) so people can mingle, chat and dip in and out of the dancefloor.


There’s also a cobbled courtyard that’s perfect for welcome drinks, catching up with family or getting some fresh air between dances.


And don’t worry - we’re not skipping the good food! We’ll still be sitting down together for a lovely three-course meal, so you’ll get that proper wedding dinner experience - just in a more relaxed, modern setting. The food and drinks are fantastic.


Then, as proper music lovers, we’ll be dancing the night away to a DJ playing all our favourite tunes — so bring your best moves and your stamina. The dancefloor will definitely be open.


It’s very much a cool London, city wedding vibe — and especially special to us because it’s in North London, where we met, where we lived, and where we first made our home together. It feels only right to celebrate this next chapter there with all of you.


So think: less ballroom, more atmosphere.

Less formal hotel, more great food, great music and a proper city celebration.


We can’t wait to celebrate it there with you.
