1 Weddings & Civil Partnerships at the Barbican

2 Barbican Centre Since 1982, Barbican has sustained an amazingly diverse, and universallyacclaimed, repertoire of theatre, concert and dance performances, cinema screenings and visual arts exhibitions as well as being home to the London Symphony Orchestra. Entertaining is something the Barbican does very well, which is illustrated perfectly by weddings held in the spectacular Conservatory and Garden Suite. The Conservatory is a beautiful and unique place to hold your wedding ceremony. It is a hidden tropical oasis which is home to finches, quails, exotic fish and over 2,000 species of tropical plants and trees. The adjoining Garden Suite has floor to ceiling windows on each side providing fantastic views of the City and the Barbican Lakes. I just wanted to thank you for delivering a fantastic service for our wedding. Everyone was praising the unique venue, food and service your staff were so friendly and courteous at all times. So a huge thank you to everyone at the Barbican for all their hard work and for making my life a whole lot easier and calm as everything ran so smoothly.
