Kew Gardens

Kew Gardens, a World Heritage Site, has a variety of stunning wedding venues set within 300 acres of world-renowned botanical gardens.

Cambridge Cottage is an elegant former royal residence, set within its own private gardens, and is licensed for civil ceremonies for up to 80 guests.

Moved from the grounds of Buckingham Palace by King George IV in 1836, the stunning Nash Conservatory is licensed for civil ceremonies for up to 200 guests.

The magnificent Orangery is ideal for large wedding receptions, with high ceilings and grand arched windows, over looking the private terrace and lawn.

For a truly unique event experience, enjoy a canapé reception in the Princess of Wales Conservatory, famed for its rare orchids and Chinese Water Dragons; or dine and dance the night away in the Temperate House under a canopy of tropical plants and trees.

Newly available, The Sir Joseph Banks Building is a striking, partly subterranean space that is appropriate for both daytime and evening events. Large windows within the main room overlook the surrounding lake at water level, which provides a tranquil setting and an abundance of natural daylight. Guests enter the venue through the private atrium, which may be used as a welcome area, whilst the building’s frontage affords a view of an adjacent lawn. The lawn, suitable for an outdoor reception, has the renowned Kew Palace as a backdrop, and also looks back to the Sir Joseph Banks Building, and its lake and water feature. The Sir Joseph Banks Building is exclusive to you and your guests, on the day of your event and may be used for religious ceremonies when used in conjunction with the Orangery for the reception.  

Whichever venue you choose for your special day, your wedding will help Kew to continue our valuable plant conservation and life-saving research work.
