Alice & Lauren: Vintage Charm, Big Party Energy and a Basque Cheesecake

Alice & Lauren: Vintage Charm, Big Party Energy and a Basque Cheesecake

When a venue combines thoughtful design, incredible food and a team that truly understands how to celebrate love in all its forms, magic tends to follow.

This joyful wedding at Victoria was exactly that. Surrounded by vintage charm and the people who mattered most, Alice & Lauren created an unforgettable party atmosphere for their wedding reception, the kind of celebration where guests are still talking about the food (especially the Basque cheesecake) long after the music has stopped.

The Venue

From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for something special. Victoria is full of vintage charm, with carefully repurposed furniture and thoughtfully designed spaces that make every corner a joy to celebrate in.

But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the team behind it. As a gay couple, feeling welcomed, respected and celebrated was incredibly important to us, and the team at Victoria made that effortless from the very beginning. We felt supported throughout the entire process, which made all the difference.

The staff were consistently professional, kind, and genuinely attentive, going above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Special thanks to Hope and Cat, who supported us so wonderfully on the day, and to both Lucys, who helped guide us through the planning process. Their care and dedication meant we could relax and simply enjoy every moment.

Quite honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for a day we’ll cherish forever.

The Food & Drink

The food was truly impeccable. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, and our guests haven’t stopped talking about it since. One guest even declared the Basque cheesecake the best he’d ever had, which we feel says it all.

Best part of the day

Well, what a party this venue can throw! The entire day was filled with laughter, celebration and an incredible atmosphere. We had an absolute blast from start to finish, surrounded by the people we love most in a space that felt welcoming, joyful and completely us.
