Kindred
Kindred, the Grade-II listed and fully accessible mansion nestled in central Hammersmith, offers an all-inclusive wedding service against a backdrop of gorgeous interiors with heritage details and opulent colours.
Perfect for down-to-earth couples who enjoy the finer things in life, Kindred provides a wedding tailored exactly to each couple’s needs, from the ceremony to the music, food and drink. The team knows planning a wedding can be stressful, so they pride themselves on making the process as fun and joyful as possible.
The venue offers two ceremony options. The vows can be held in the golden glow of The Hall for 120 guests or in the calm serenity of the Library for 50 guests. Both venues feature AV facilities for everything from live music to live screenings.
The food is a memorable part of any wedding, and the team has many delicious options to cater to every couple and their guests. For those all-important canapés, the chefs offer mouthwatering bites like truffled parmesan gougères, hashbrowns with caviar, pea and mint arancini and salt cod croquettes. For sit-down affairs, Kindred provides a plated menu; couples can choose from many options to create a menu of two starters, three mains and two desserts for guests. There’s also a family-style feasting menu to be enjoyed by the whole table. Guests can tuck into sharing plates of starters, mains, desserts and sides. The team offers bowl food for those who want to keep it a bit more casual, so guests don’t have to stop dancing! Couples can opt for their decadent grazing boards and late-night delights if it’s a late-night affair to keep those energy levels up. Speaking of which, Kindred can even look after the music for the big day.
The team understands that it’s the extra touches that make weddings special. With the option of the top two floors included in a wedding package, couples have the ultimate freedom to work with the events manager to make the day entirely theirs; the more creative, the better! Kindred can liaise with photographers, florists, videographers and other suppliers to make the day run seamlessly and give suggestions for quirky party activities like magicians or tarot card readers, ensuring events are unique and unforgettable.
Whether it’s an intimate event with close family and friends, or a blowout party for the whole neighbourhood, Kindred will be with the couple every step of the way to make their special day unforgettable.
