The Octagon Room wedding photography and film
The Octagon Room is a beautifully unique intimate venue with architectural charm and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The distinctive shape, soft lighting, and refined detailing create a one-of-a-kind setting for wedding films that feel personal, elegant, and full of emotion.
We absolutely love filming at The Octagon Room. That distinctive eight-sided architecture does something really special to the light, wrapping it softly around your guests in a way that makes every shot feel considered and intimate. It's a small space with a big personality, and our cameras can't get enough of it.
Getting to The Octagon Room
The nearest train station is Greenwich (about a 10 minute walk), well connected from London Bridge and Cannon Street. If you're flying in, London City Airport is your closest option, roughly 20 minutes by car or a short DLR and rail combination. Parking near the venue is limited, so we'd strongly recommend leaving the car at home if you can. A few paid car parks sit within walking distance, but spaces fill quickly at weekends. For the evening, pre-book your taxi or Uber before the reception ends. Local cab firms can get stretched late on, so having a number saved ahead of time will save you standing in the cold.

Frequently asked questions about The Octagon Room
Can I watch real wedding films from The Octagon Room?
Yes, you can! We have real wedding films from The Octagon Room right here on this page, so you can get a genuine feel for how the space looks and flows on an actual wedding day. We always think watching a real film tells you far more than any description ever could.
What is it actually like getting married at The Octagon Room?
The Octagon Room has a real sense of intimacy to it, which makes it perfect for couples who want their day to feel personal and close rather than grand and formal. Because the space is more compact, every moment feels connected, and that translates beautifully on camera. It is the kind of venue where the atmosphere does a lot of the work for you.
How much does wedding videography at The Octagon Room cost with Big Day Productions?
Our packages start from around a few hundred pounds for shorter edits and go up depending on coverage hours and the style of film you are after. The Octagon Room suits a range of our packages really well, particularly our shorter, more cinematic edits that work brilliantly in an intimate setting. We are happy to chat through what fits your day and your budget when you get in touch.
Is The Octagon Room a good venue for wedding photography and videography?
It really is. The architecture of the room gives you interesting shapes and angles that you just do not get in a standard rectangular space, and we find that adds something genuinely different to the images and footage. Being based in the South East, we know this venue well and feel very at home shooting here.
How do I book Big Day Productions for my wedding at The Octagon Room?
The easiest way is to drop us a message through our contact page with your wedding date and a few details about what you are looking for. We will check availability for The Octagon Room and get back to you quickly to arrange a call or a chat. We do book up, especially for popular dates, so it is worth reaching out sooner rather than later.
Does the size of The Octagon Room affect how wedding films are made there?
It does, and honestly in a really positive way. Smaller venues mean we are always close to the action, which gives the footage a warmth and immediacy that larger spaces can sometimes lack. We adapt our approach to work with the room rather than against it, and the results tend to feel very natural and genuine.
