Round tables, large flower arrangements and wooden chairs at a wedding at Kew

This classic wedding experience offers the chance to mark your special day in some of our most-loved locations – The Nash Conservatory, The Princess of Wales Conservatory and the Orangery. 

Classic ceremony 

Exchange your vows in the Nash Conservatory, an enchanting 19th century glasshouse. With capacity for a civil ceremony of up to 200 guests and floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, this stunning glasshouse provides an abundance of natural daylight, filling the space with a warm glow all year round.

Drinks reception  

Serve drinks on the secluded lawn behind the Conservatory or nearby in the colourful Princess of Wales Conservatory, a unique glasshouse with ten climate zones. While your guests enjoy their drinks, you’ll have time to tour the Gardens in an escorted buggy for photos in our most scenic locations.  

Dinner dance at The Orangery  

Continue your celebrations into the night in the Orangery. A Grade I listed building, the Orangery is an ideal setting for your wedding reception and dinner dance. With high ceilings and grand, arched windows, it offers space to celebrate in an atmosphere that is both stylish and serene.
