Eight Club Moorgate, Weddings

The only way into Eight Club Moorgate’s digs is via a speedy penthouse lift, which elevates members and event guests above the City bustle.

At the top, you’ll find a roomy two-floor club that fuses views with the dark wood and textured glass one would expect from a scene in Mad Men. In contrast to its subterranean sibling near Bank station, this venue comprises a series of light, bright spaces (including two terraces) that make a handsome setting for events, be it a meeting, private dinner or cocktail party.

For the former, look first to the Library Room, which has floor-to-ceiling windows, book-lined walls and chesterfield sofas.

The six-storey City venue has set up its fifth and sixth floors – including rooftop terraces – for wedding parties. With a full marriage licence, the nuptial day can begin with a ceremony on the top floor, then a lunch or dinner reception for up to 100 guests in the fifth-floor restaurant, before the party continues upstairs in the 200-capacity members’ lounge, which is easily turned into a club with a 3am licence. The terraces are fully furnished with lounge furniture and tables – as well as heaters. Eight Moorgate’s events team can recommend everyone from florists to wedding transport specialists and the house tailor.
