The HAC (The Honourable Artillery Company) is a historic military venue with a range of classical wedding spaces that are perfect for a traditional celebration. Located in London, this manor house wedding venue feels like a destination of its own, surrounded by the resplendent 5-acre Artillery Garden.
The Grade II listed manor house wedding venue was built in 1735 by one of its 2,500 HAC members, who has collected the beautiful ornaments on display that trace the history of the regiment. Throughout the building, there are six stately rooms available to hire, each with its unique charm. From the high ceilings and steams of natural daylight, there are so many beautiful architectural aspects that capture the attention of wedding couples from near and far.
