Whilst Boisdale of Canary Wharf may be perfect if you're planning a large wedding, they also have two other fantastic venues in London which are more suitable for smaller weddings. Both Bishopsgate and Belgravia hold strong scottish connections, with both venues offering fine whisky and Scottish food.

Here's what Tatler had to say about the venue!

"BCW has become London’s No. 1 jazz venue, with Jools Holland as its Patron of Music and an all-star, year-round jazz calendar featuring bands and artists like Nils Solberg, the Red Stripe Band and Yolanda Brown. Set over two floors, with a huge cigar terrace overlooking Cabot Square, this is a real supper club with wonderful ‘Boisdale’ food and a terrific atmosphere. And if you still think Canary Wharf is hard to get to, wise up – it’s just 13 minutes on the Jubilee Line from Green Park. Very cool for cats." Tatler
