The House can hold conferences, board meetings, training events, seminars and lectures as well as elegant private dining functions, awards dinners, summer and Christmas parties, private events and weddings.

Dartmouth House offers a distinctive and charming feature that is rare in London – a secluded courtyard for hosting open-air receptions.

The courtyard, adorned with a fountain, architectural flair, and wrought iron tables and chairs, evokes the ambiance of a chateau terrace. This private and secluded haven in the heart of Mayfair is an ideal setting for alfresco canapé and drinks receptions. Whether before or after your conference, or following your wedding ceremony, it provides a space for your guests to mingle, relax, and enjoy the enchanting surroundings.

We had the most incredible experience celebrating our wedding at Dartmouth House, and we are so happy with how everything turned out. A special thank you to Charlotte, our coordinator, who was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process. She was always available, incredibly quick to respond, and always happy to answer any questions we had. She was clear, organised, professional and, above all, so kind and supportive. Charlotte’s experience and expertise were invaluable. She gave us thoughtful advice throughout the planning process, which made us feel confident and reassured that everything was in the best possible hands. Our wedding day was truly incredible. Everything was organised perfectly, the food was fantastic, and we received so many compliments from our guests. We could not have asked for a better experience or a more beautiful venue to celebrate our special day. We are incredibly happy with our wedding at Dartmouth House and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing team. A huge thank you to Charlotte and everyone at Dartmouth House for helping make our wedding so memorable!
