The unique Underglobe, which is located directly beneath the theatre stage, can accommodate up to 400 guests and provides couples with the opportunity to create a more dramatic backdrop with its artificial oak tree, permanent staging, mezzanine level and sweeping staircase \u2013 we loved the idea of vintage birdcage chandeliers and lanterns to create a Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream setting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Drummers, aerial acrobats, vintage dressing up booths, buskers, sonnets and soliloquies can all be organised to ensure you and your guests experience an authentic and enchanting wedding night. The Swan\u2019s in-house event chefs develop exciting menus each season, including sumptuous feasts, innovative canap\u00e9s and theatrical food stations. Hard as it was, not to devour the whole platter of Kashmiri Chicken Poppadom canap\u00e9s, I held back for the delicious Sea Bass main and was glad that I had when finally presented with my mango Brulee dessert. Unfortunately, my petit fours missed out but I was blissfully full from The Swan\u2019s delightful example of its wedding breakfast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Wedding Ceremony at St Pauls or Southwark Registry Office followed by a reception at the Shakespeare\u2019s Globe is perfect for those in search of tradition and drama conveniently located in the heart of London.
