Weddings

A stunning and dramatic backdrop to your special wedding day

The Banqueting House has a wealth of history for hosting prestigious events, and we would be delighted to welcome you and your guests for your wedding.

Specially created for entertaining in 1622, the Banqueting House astounded London society, and it still has the power to dazzle and impress today.

The Main Hall

The stunning Main Hall harks back to the grandeur of Stuart England and was the home of masques, balls and entertainment of the period.

In the Main Hall, magnificent pillars and glittering chandeliers will draw guests' gazes toward one of the world's great masterpieces: Sir Peter Paul Rubens’ glorious painted ceiling.

General view of Banqueting Hall set up for a wedding reception, with round tables.

The Undercroft

Wonderfully atmospheric, the Undercroft is where Stuart kings once retreated from public life.

This charming, vaulted space will radiate with good cheer and joyous bustle as your family and friends gather to celebrate and offer congratulations.
