Your palace awaits

Your palace awaits

A stunning and dramatic backdrop to your special wedding day

Banqueting House is now closed for events for a period of essential re-servicing, conservation, and maintenance work and will re-open in the Autumn of 2025.

Our other London palaces are still available to hire over this period so please do get in touch to see which other venue would suit your requirements. 

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.

The Undercroft

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

Today, this intimacy – once favoured by England's monarchs – makes it a special space for an unforgettable evening of dining, dancing and celebration.

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