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. 

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. 

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. 

Ranelagh Gardens

Ranelagh Gardens is a secluded and picturesque part of the Royal Hospital estate. The charming and beautifully landscaped gardens make the perfect backdrop for stunning weddings, vibrant summer events, or team-building activities. With large lawn areas, surrounded by a huge variety of trees and plants, the gardens are a hidden gem in the heart of Chelsea, perfect for special occasions.
