Weddings at The Four Seasons Canary Wharf

Are you planning a romantic City of London wedding? then look no further than the jewel that is The Four Seasons Canary Wharf. Having spent a lovely weekend at the hotel, it was an absolute pleasure to give our readers an insight into the amazing work that Tekeyo Bodie, wedding specialist at The Four Seasons does when planning a dream wedding.

5 Star Weddings: What makes The Four Seasons Hotel the perfect wedding venue?

Tekeyo Bodie: Nestled in the Eastside of London, the Four Seasons Canary Wharf has an ideal River location that makes for amazing and stunning views of the River Thames and especially for Wedding Photos.

5 Star Weddings: Can you tell us a bit about your previous role as The Four Season Wedding Planner in the Bahamas?

Tekeyo Bodie: As a Four Seasons Wedding Planner in the Bahamas there was always a different challenge as Brides taste and designs were always different and unique. Weddings were planned from the booking of guest accommodation, the desired location at the Resort or offsite, menu planning, transfers, rehearsal dinners, event designing and most importantly the execution of the event.

5 Star Weddings: Can you tell me what the most elaborate wedding that you have organised at The Four Seasons Hotel?

Tekeyo Bodie: The most elaborate wedding that I have hosted consisted of 3 days of none stop celebrations, huge food display from around the world, a world-renowned DJ flew in from New York’s hottest nightclub and rare orchids were the order of the day.
