The Corinthia Hotel London is one of the most magnificent and distinctively beautiful wedding venues in the capital — a grand five-star hotel in the heart of Westminster, steps from the Thames, Trafalgar Square, and Buckingham Palace, combining the architectural grandeur of its Victorian heritage with the quality of a genuinely world-class contemporary luxury experience. The Ballroom, the Courtroom, the Nelson Room — each space is entirely different in scale and atmosphere, and each produces footage of extraordinary visual richness and warmth. We know this hotel well, and we return here with genuine excitement every time we film here.

The Spaces — Three Extraordinary Event Rooms
The Corinthia offers three distinct and beautifully designed event spaces — each with its own character, scale, and atmosphere, and each producing footage of real visual richness. The right space depends entirely on your guest list, your vision, and the atmosphere you want for your film.
The Three Corinthia Event Spaces
- The Ballroom — up to 250 guests — the crown jewel of the Corinthia. Grand chandeliers, elegant gold details, timeless white interiors, and floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the space with natural light. One of the most visually extraordinary ballrooms in London — bold, bright, and utterly unforgettable. The combination of the chandelier light and the natural daylight gives footage of a visual richness and depth that is simply incomparable. Ideal for large, grand weddings where every detail needs to be seen and felt.
- The Courtroom — up to 150 guests — a more intimate alternative to the Ballroom, styled with dove-grey walls and mirrored panels that catch the light with extraordinary beauty. The Courtroom feels modern yet entirely timeless — sophisticated, warm, and with a quality of visual elegance that films extraordinarily well. An exceptional choice for couples who want grandeur without overwhelming scale.
- The Nelson Room — up to 60 guests — for couples wanting something genuinely intimate. The Nelson Room is fully licensed for civil weddings and symbolic blessings, and its private, elegant, quietly beautiful character makes it one of our favourite spaces in the entire hotel to film in. Perfect for a deeply personal ceremony surrounded by your closest family and friends.
Why The Corinthia Is Exceptional to Film
As wedding videographers, the Corinthia Hotel gives us an extraordinary range of filming opportunities — from the grand visual scale of the Ballroom to the intimate warmth of the Nelson Room, from the beautiful corridor and suite preparation footage to the genuinely incomparable external locations that the hotel’s Westminster position provides. Embankment, Westminster Bridge, the Thames — all within minutes on foot, all providing portrait and ambient filming locations of a visual richness and historic character that gives every Corinthia wedding film a quality of genuine London grandeur.
The Ballroom chandelier light in particular is something we look forward to every time we film a wedding here. When the evening reception begins and the chandeliers are at full warmth, the combination of the gold details, the white interiors, and the extraordinary chandelier light gives footage of a depth and visual beauty that is simply incomparable in London.
“The Corinthia Hotel gives us everything — the grand Ballroom chandeliers, the beautiful Courtroom mirrors, the intimate warmth of the Nelson Room, and the extraordinary Westminster and Thames locations for external filming. It is a venue of genuine visual richness from the very first frame to the very last, and one we return to with real excitement every time.”
