Garden Weddings

Historic gardens with timeless elegance

The gardens of Hampton Court Palace provide one of the most beautiful settings for a wedding in England. From the formal symmetry of the Privy Garden to the open lawns of the Great Fountain Garden, each space offers its own atmosphere and charm. The gardens are perfect for those who want to celebrate among manicured hedges, ornate fountains and the vibrant colour of seasonal blooms.

A royal landscape for every celebration

These renowned gardens have evolved over five centuries, reflecting the tastes of Tudor, Baroque and Georgian monarchs. Once designed for private walks and royal pageantry, they now offer couples a chance to share in the palace’s living history. Whether you’re planning an outdoor ceremony, drinks reception or wedding photographs, the gardens provide an unforgettable setting.

Indoor spaces to pair with your garden celebration

Your garden celebration can be paired with nearby indoor venues such as the Little Banqueting House, the Garden Room, or the Orangery. Couples often choose to exchange vows outdoors before moving into one of these elegant rooms for dinner and dancing. Together, they offer the perfect balance of open-air celebration and classic refinement.

Licensed ceremonies and capacities

Several garden areas are licensed for civil ceremonies, with flexible layouts suitable for both intimate and larger weddings. The open design of the palace grounds allows for tailored arrangements, from elegant marquee settings to alfresco seating surrounded by the palace’s historic façades.

Tailored by our approved suppliers

Our approved suppliers are experienced in enhancing the palace’s outdoor spaces, offering everything from seasonal floral designs and marquee styling to bespoke menus inspired by the English garden. Whether you imagine a spring ceremony among blossoming borders or a summer celebration overlooking the Great Fountain Garden, each detail can be crafted to reflect your personal style.
