Step back through the ages to the majestic Kingdom of Henry VIII and his Tudor Court. Amongst its sprawling landscaped grounds, there are a variety of versatile event spaces, the largest of which is The Great Hall. This jaw dropping banqueting room in the heart of the palace accommodates up to 220 seated guests and 400 for a standing reception. Open after 6.30 pm, it makes an unforgettable venue to host a candlelit evening ceremony or a Tudor style feast, surrounded by the 500 year old tapestries that were commissioned by Henry VIII himself.
An alternative outdoor space that is popular for summer weddings is the Garden Room. This white 1920s style conservatory can accommodate up to 180 seated guests, and its unique garden pergola is also licensed for wedding ceremonies. This particular private site at Hampton Court Palace is exclusively catered by award winning CH&CO.

The most intimate space for Hampton Court Palace weddings is the Little Banqueting House for up to 50 guests. This charming spot on the periphery of the palace gardens overlooks the majestic River Thames and comes complete with its own sunken garden for pre-dinner drinks receptions. There is even the option for the the bride and groom to arrive via boat to the venue, to make a showstopping arrival before the ceremony. Inside the Little Banqueting House, spectacular 18th century paintings encase the suite and provide a romantic setting to say your vows.
The Orangery and Privy Gardens is another popular outdoor space at the rear of Hampton Court Palace.
