Weddings at the Royal Hospital Chelsea

A prestigious venue, as unique as your wedding 

The Royal Hospital Chelsea provides a unique and historic wedding venue in the heart of London. Our beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces have hosted events for over three centuries and will provide a stunning backdrop for your special day. 
 

A grand hall arranged for an elegant banquet, featuring black and white chequered flooring and long wooden panelled walls engraved with names. Large circular tables dressed in white tablecloths are set for dining and surrounded by wooden cross back chairs. Each table has floral centrepieces with tall, colourful arrangements. Ornate chandeliers hang from the high ceiling, and large framed paintings line the upper walls. The room is lit by natural light from tall windows and warm indoor lighting

Our spectacular central quadrangle, Figure Court, is an impressive space to welcome to your guests for a drinks and canapés reception. The State Apartments, originally built to host members of the Royal Family, offer a historic and intimate setting, whereas our grand Great Hall is perfect for larger parties. If an outdoor venue is your ideal, then the beautiful and secluded Ranelagh Gardens can be used for marquees. 
 

Three musicians perform outdoors in bright sunlight, standing in front of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. One plays a saxophone and the other two play acoustic guitars. All three wear sunglasses and smart attire. A large golden statue and the building’s classical facade with columns and a clock tower are visible in the background.

Tailored support and catering in an accessible location

In addition to our beautiful rooms, the Royal Hospital Chelsea can also provide professional and creative caterers, as well as an easily accessible location and 

private parking. A dedicated member of our Events Team will also work with you to ensure your day runs smoothly. 

The Royal Hospital is home to the world-famous Chelsea Pensioners, retired soldiers who have come to live in this very special place in their later years. So not only will your wedding celebrations take place against a backdrop of this extraordinary history, but you'll also have the satisfaction of knowing that profits from venue hire at the Royal Hospital will go towards both caring for the Chelsea Pensioners and securing the future of the heritage buildings.
