Drinks reception  

After your ceremony, serve drinks on the secluded lawn behind the Conservatory or nearby in the colourful Princess of Wales Conservatory, Kew’s tropical glasshouse.

You’ll have time to tour the Gardens in an escorted buggy for photos in our most scenic locations while your guests enjoy their drinks.  

Dinner dance  

To continue your celebrations into the evening, we offer a choice between the classic elegance of the Orangery or our most iconic venue, Temperate House.  

The Orangery  

A Grade I listed building, the Orangery is an ideal setting for your wedding reception. The large, open plan design can accommodate up to 200 guests for a seated dinner dance. With high ceilings and grand, arched windows, the room is filled with natural light – inviting you to celebrate in an atmosphere that is both stylish and serene.  

During the summer months your guests can relax on the Orangery’s large terrace, gazing out onto the majestic Great Broad Walk Borders, a stunning promenade at the heart of Kew.
