Discover wedding receptions at The Ritzy Cinema & Cafe

Inside The Ritzy Cinema & Cafe

The Ritzy Cinema & Cafe is situated directly opposite Lambeth Town Hall in the heart of Brixton. It’s well connected with Brixton Tube Station, a three-minute walk away, overground links to Victoria Station and numerous bus lines in all directions. 

The exterior holds a strong early 19th-century design, with grand arching, silhouettes and embossed detailing. The interior documents The Ritzy’s history, combining details reminiscent of the cinema’s opening alongside its more modern elements from when it fused with what was once a theatre before the war. The venue has settings catering to couples’ needs, from the grand 350-seater screen to an intimate setting that can host 52 guests. Screen 1 was once the cinema’s only screen and visually stays true to The Ritzy’s history when it opened more than 100 years ago; it can host up to 250 loved ones. Screen 2 (for 160 people) and Screen 3 (111) allow for a traditional aisle walk with parted seating. 

For something more intimate but just as special, the wonderful Screen 4 (109) and Screen 5 (51) can showcase couples’ love stories on the big screen, or slideshow of fondest memories together, to add an element of wonder to events. The upstairs bar, a gem within the venue, is thoughtfully divided into two versatile levels, offering layout choices for up to 162 people. Whether newlyweds desire an open space to dance the night away or prefer tables set up for catering, the team can cater to their needs. Additionally, the bar features a charming balcony with a view of Windrush Square.

One in seven couples choose sleep over sex on their wedding night

As the UK's spring and summer wedding season begins, new research by Mattress Online suggests the traditional idea of a passion-filled wedding night doesn't always match reality, with one in six couples (15%) saying they did not have sex after their big day. To understand why, the bed experts also asked survey respondents what their reasoning was behind this. They also provided additional insight on the idea of the "wedding night" from Relationship Expert, Jenni Trent Hughes. The findings show that exhaustion was by far the most common factor, with more than two in five (44%) of couples saying they were simply too tired after the celebrations. As weddings often involve early starts, long days, emotional highs, and late nights, rest is a more realistic priority than romance once newlyweds are in bed.
