Where to wed in Kingston & Richmond |

Hampton Court House
Hampton Court House is a stunning Georgian mansion set within nine acres of enchanting 18th-century gardens including follies and its famous, listed shell grotto. Completed in 1757, the house was once described as ‘an elegant and recherché mansion, suitable for a wealthy merchant prince’. Today the house boasts a stunning main hall, conservatory, theatre, dining room and several private rooms with magnificent views overlooking Bushy Park, desirable for weddings and events.
The house was designed by the famous astronomer and renowned architect of the time Thomas Wright, who was also responsible for a number of other very special period features such as the heart-shaped lake and the exquisitely decorated shell grotto. The grotto served as a banqueting house and no doubt was the venue of many moonlit parties. Today the grotto is a rare blend of two upper class obsessions of the time: Rococo Garden design and shell collecting. Providing a wonderfully private and romantic environment, the gardens contain several magnificent features including the lake, grotto, and winter garden with palm trees.
For ceremonies, couples can tie the knot in the grand hall overlooking Bushy Park. Licensed for up to 150 guests, the matching marble fireplaces and chandeliers also make this a beautiful space for more intimate ceremonies.
Whether permitting, tie the knot al fresco in the beautiful gardens with up to 150 guests surrounded by royal parkland.
Post-vows, the Victorian picture gallery, complete with 10m-high ceilings, is a magnificent room for a wedding breakfast and can seat 150 guests; while the enchanting conservatory leading out to the stunning patio garden is the perfect space for you to dance the night away.
When choosing this big-day venue, Hampton Court House is surrounded by beautiful hotels that it’s partnered with for special rates (check with the venue for an up-to-date list).
