Autumn Trafalgar Tavern Wedding | Marie & Pat

Romantic Autumn Wedding at Trafalgar Tavern Greenwich | Marie & Pat

There is something timeless about a wedding on the south bank of the River Thames. Marie and Pat’s special day was a beautiful example of a historic London wedding, blending family-oriented intimacy with the classic charm of Greenwich.

Set against the golden hues of autumn, their celebration took full advantage of the character and heritage found within the walls of the iconic Trafalgar Tavern.

A Historic Ceremony in the Nelson Room

The day began in the tavern’s traditional bar area, where we captured the excitement of guests arriving and mingling by the river. The ceremony itself took place upstairs in the Nelson Room. With its floor-to-ceiling windows and sweeping views of the Thames, it provided a stunning, light-filled backdrop for Marie and Pat to say their vows.

Celebrations in the Hawke & Howe Bar

Following the “I dos,” the party moved next door to the Hawke and Howe bar. This was the perfect setting for a relaxed drinks reception. Guests enjoyed canapés and conversation in an informal, cozy atmosphere – exactly what Marie and Pat had envisioned for their guest-focused celebration.

Portraits at the Old Royal Naval College

Before the wedding breakfast, the newlyweds took a quiet moment for themselves. We headed over to the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College for their couple portraits.

Pro Tip: Taking 20 minutes for a quiet walk during your wedding day isn’t just about the photos; it’s a rare chance for couples to actually ‘catch up’ and soak in the magnitude of the day as it unfolds.

Reception & Dancing in the Dreadnought Room

The evening continued in the Dreadnought Room, where the wedding breakfast was served amidst the tavern’s rich maritime history. To cap off a perfect day, everyone headed back to the Nelson Room, which had been transformed for an evening of music and dancing.
