About

Nestled within 163 acres of exquisite pastoral beauty, Addington Palace is a historic wedding venue in the depths of Croydon, Surrey. This beautiful location is just twelve miles from central London and holds strong ties to royal history, including Henry VIII's courtship of Anne Boleyn. Today, the illustrious Georgian mansion offers to-be-weds exclusive use of ten versatile spaces and a sprawling estate to host their dream stately affair. From the landscaped gardens to the grand staircase, this idyllic setting is a splendid backdrop for the tender beginnings of a once-in-a-lifetime happily ever after.

Facilities and Capacity

Addington Palace specializes in abundance and tangible opulence. Every hire includes exclusive access to the entirety of this breathtaking estate with absolute flexibility for outside vendors. Couples have a choice of two licensed rooms for their ceremony, including the bright and airy interiors of the Winter Garden chapel. Forming the heart of the palace, the Great Hall is a fitting space for couples to exchange their vows amongst walnut panelling and French chandeliers. The hall can also be transformed into a lovely banqueting area for 150, ideal for wedding breakfasts and three-course meals.

The estate offers an indulgent array of relaxing settings as guests await the evening's festivities, including the surrounding parklands and the Morning Room. The landscaped garden also features a delightful terrace area which is ideal for toasts of bubbly and canapes on warmer days. Crowned with an intricately designed dome, the Georgian staircase is perfect for wedding portraits and grand entrances. At night the high ceilings of the great hall will enhance the acoustics of any evening entertainment. Meanwhile, the ancillary rooms offer ample opportunity for photo booths, games, and private bars. After the celebrations have ended, up to 36 guests can retreat to the luxurious cottages only a short stroll from the main house.

dream venue to capture weddings

Addington Palace is a dream venue to capture weddings. Its majestic architecture, sprawling grounds, and opulent interiors offer endless opportunities for creating stunning images that will be cherished for a lifetime. 18th-century mansion timeless beauty, rich history, and romantic ambiance make it the perfect setting for capturing the magic of weddings in all its glory. Whether it's a grand affair or an intimate celebration, this iconic venue never fails to inspire and enchant, and I feel truly fortunate to be able to document such special moments in such a stunning setting.

We recently had our Christmas Wedding at Addington Palace and the whole day was magical. Hannah from the Palace was a star and helped us every step of the way. She was there to help on the days running up to the wedding and did everything with a big smile on her face.
The palace itself was a beautiful location and made all the more special by them being so flexible with our decorations, including Christmas trees dotted all around.
All our guests loved the day and loved the palace, it was well worth the cost - after all, you only do it once.
I would definitely recommend Addington Palace as a wedding venue and cannot speak more highly of the staff that work there.

Had our fairlytale wedding on 10th August 2017

Google Review: Had our fairlytale wedding on 10th August 2017 in the main building. Everything went extremely well all the staff worked hard behind the scenes to ensure everything ran smoothly and was a memorable day for all who attended. Special thanks to Hannah our event coordinator who led us through the whole process and nothing was too much trouble.
The building and grounds were grand and at times the whole event seemed surreal. =)
I can heartily recommend Addington Palace as a fantastic wedding venue.

A Fantanstic Day

We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the day to which you and your staff contributed greatly due to the brilliant organisation from beginning to end and the excellent food served at both the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet. Many of the guests also remarked how impressed they were with the venue and how much they enjoyed the food. We would not hesitate to recommend your venue to others.

Five Star

We had our wedding at Addington Palace at the beginning of the month and have to say it was truly amazing.

Craig and his team were fantastic not just on the day but in the months leading up to the wedding. Their experience helped us plan for the wedding and they came up with many points we had not even considered. The staff were so professional and helpful on the day and our suppliers tell us they had an easy time making sure decorations and placements were all exactly as we wanted.

The venue is stunning and all our guests fell in love with it. Because it is grand inside with the furniture, chandeliers, silk gold wallpaper etc, you only really need to decorate the main hall and the ceremony room and even then you only really need flowers.

The food was fantastic and huge portions to everyone's delight. Seriously, hats off to the caterers, really delicious food.

There are certain rules around health and safety which means you cannot have everything you want (like real lit candles, confetti indoors) but this is expected in a venue like this so please discuss with the team there early on what you can and cannot have to ensure you are not disappointed..

A note of caution, it is not the cheapest venue to have a wedding, however, having, looked at other similar venues where you get full exclusive use, it is very comparable cost-wise. The key thing for us was exclusive use of the whole building which Addington Palace is ideal for.

Thank you all for helping make our wedding day so special.
