GvW Events brings history to life through elevated event experiences.

GvW Events was founded to deliver weddings for influential individuals seeking a historic celebration of their love.

Having worked at Buckingham Palace and planned events at heritage venues such as the British Museum and Oxford University, we are adept at planning an event which blends a couple’s character with artistic, cultural, and historical heritage.

We create a full bespoke celebration which serves as a timeless chronicle of your joy. We call it the ecstasy of refinement: blissfully seeing your story come to life in color and music with the most joyful, personalized details and exceptional execution.

Refinement: noun. /rɪˈfaɪnmənt/ /rɪˈfaɪnmənt/ a certain cultured elegance in manner and taste in every detail.
