A gift table can be set up in advance for guests to leave their gifts, please note all gifts are left at their own risk and we cannot take responsibility for their security. We advise all gifts are removed at the end of the evening.

Unfortunately not, due to the location being surrounded by residents, this would be a noise and fire risk.

Due to the fire risks associated with candles and tea-lights, we only allow them if they are covered i.e. in a jar or candle holder.

Unfortunately not due to the potential damage to our listed building.

Real dried flower petal confetti is allowed - but no other types. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure this is adhered to by all guests.

We work exclusively with, and highly recommend, Saffron and WCB Catering for all catering so no other caterers are allowed on site.

The Lyric Rooms do not allow corkage. We have an extensive and exclusive range of premium wines, spirits and beers to offer. If you have a specific requirement, then please chat to our team and we will do our very best to accommodate!

We would strongly recommend catering for 100% of your guests for the daytime wedding breakfast, canapés and evening buffet.
