AddressThe Barbican Conservatory was an incredibly special setting for our wedding. We'd seen other potential venues but when we visited the Barbican, we knew we'd found our perfect venue.
Working with the Barbican in the run up to our wedding was a total pleasure. The entire experience remained relaxed and stress-free... it felt very special.
The venue was the perfect setting for our wedding, and all of our guests were very impressed by the space. A large number of guests have commented to us, on the day and since, how impressed they were.
