Royal Automobile Club Wedding Film | Alice & Archie's Wedding at the RAC Club, Pall Mall
The Royal Automobile Club on Pall Mall is one of London’s finest private members’ clubs and a stunning wedding venue in the heart of the West End. This is the story of Alice and Archie’s autumn wedding there — and what it’s actually like to get married at the RAC.
What is it like to have a wedding at The Royal Automobile Club?
The RAC Club on Pall Mall is grand without being cold. The interiors are elegant and warm — high ceilings, beautiful detailing, and rooms that photograph and film beautifully in any light. It’s a central London venue that feels both impressive and intimate, which is a rare combination. For Alice and Archie’s wedding, the space lent itself to a day that was celebratory and relaxed rather than stiff or overly formal. Drinks flowed naturally between rooms, speeches landed in a space with great acoustics, and by the evening the dance floor was packed.
What is the flow of a wedding day at the RAC Club?
Alice and Archie’s day began in Dulwich Village, where Alice got ready with her bridal party — including Olive, their young daughter. The ceremony was held at St Stephen’s Church in South Dulwich, a church that already held personal meaning for the family as the place where Olive was christened. After the ceremony, guests boarded red London double-decker buses for the journey across the river from Dulwich to Pall Mall — a detail that looked brilliant on camera and gave the whole day an infectious energy. The reception at the RAC included a champagne drinks reception, a seated wedding breakfast, speeches (Archie’s brothers Harry and Alexander had the room in stitches), and dancing well into the evening.
Can you get married at St Stephen’s Church, Dulwich?
St Stephen’s Church in South Dulwich is a beautiful option for couples looking for a traditional church ceremony in South London. The church has a classic English interior with excellent natural light, and it pairs well with central London reception venues like the RAC — the two are connected by a scenic drive through the city.
How many guests can the RAC Club accommodate for a wedding?
Alice and Archie hosted 140 guests comfortably at the RAC Club. The venue offers flexible spaces that can work for both larger celebrations and more intimate gatherings.
Alice and Archie’s Story
Alice and Archie’s wedding had a warm, joyful energy from start to finish. Their daughter Olive was the happiest scene-stealer of the day — every glance and cuddle between the three of them added a layer of emotion that you just can’t manufacture. The couple described themselves in one word as fun, and that came through in every frame: from the double-decker bus ride across London, to the laughter during speeches, to the packed dance floor at the end of the night. It was a day that felt completely, unmistakably them.
