If these walls could talk. From its heyday as a high-end society casino to its modern incarnation as a luxury hotel, The Dorchester London has long been favoured as one of the most elegant wedding venues in London. Today, it’s a magnificent setting for luxury weddings and private parties in Mayfair, among London’s most prestigious addresses.

Events at The Dorchester see our clients walking in the footsteps of icons. Over the decades, Elizabeth Taylor, Karl Lagerfeld and Lady Gaga have hosted celebrations here, choosing the Park Lane hotel’s golden age glamour and silver service. The art deco interiors never fail to impress, with original chandeliers and mirrored walls setting a shimmering scene. Today, luxury parties at The Dorchester could mean an unforgettable wedding reception in the Ballroom, or an intimate celebration in The Penthouse and Pavilion, framing Hyde Park views.

At Scarlet, our luxury wedding planners connect clients to the hotel’s special spaces and The Dorchester’s own craftspeople, among the finest chefs, sommeliers and stylists in the city.

Luxury weddings and parties at The Dorchester see our party planners work in seamless fashion. From the first meeting to the last dance, this team is behind the scenes, ensuring every moment of each event runs flawlessly. Expect skilled mixologists, inspiring florists and passionate chefs at the pass. And when it’s time to retire, The Dorchester’s rooms and suites are as refined as they are restful.
From a contemporary Chinese wedding to a Jewish celebration, steeped in tradition, Scarlet’s specialist party planners are committed to creating something extraordinary. The first step is a conversation. One where we get to the heart of a client’s wants and wishes, cultural needs and creative ideas. After that, there’s no limit to where imagination can lead. At The Dorchester on Park Lane, London, it could be dancing the ‘American smooth’ in The Ballroom, or a perfectly private party serenaded by Sir Elton John.
