Last update: May 2026

The Usher Gallery is one of Lincoln’s most unique wedding venues — a stately, art-filled landmark offering a beautiful and cultural setting for your ceremony. Home to an exceptional collection of artworks and sculptures, it provides an elegant backdrop for your celebration and photographs.

Facilities and Capacity:

As a premium register office, the Usher Gallery allows you to say “I do” surrounded by stunning art and architecture. Gallery One accommodates up to 80 guests and is located on the ground floor for easy access. Bookings include the ceremony room and registrars. This timeless location is bursting with culture and creativity and is a dreamlike venue to mark the start of the rest of your life.

Each booking provides a two-hour slot:

  • 30 minutes for guests to arrive and be seated
  • 30-minute ceremony, with your choice of music and readings
  • 1 hour of photo time in the picturesque Temple Gardens

Services:

Though the gallery cannot be customised due to its active exhibitions, you’ll receive dedicated support from booking right through to your wedding day to ensure everything runs smoothly. We understand the importance of personalising your occasion and offer plenty of ways you can customise your ceremony with us. The ceremony room is closed to the public during your service. Following the main event, you will be entitled to an hour of photo time in the picturesque Temple Gardens.

Please note: only artificial silk flowers are permitted to protect the artworks.

Our perfect wedding!

We booked the Usher for our wedding ceremony and wow what a great team and day, we can use the full building and drive for the wedding car! Although the public are in the building it was quiet and they of course the public were accommodating when taking our photos at the gallery. Everyone loved the venue

Our Perfect Day | 11th July 2026

We celebrated our ceremony at the Lincoln Usher Gallery on the 11th of July 2026, and what a fantastic day it was! The registrars were amazing and everything ran on time. The Usher Gallery was a beautiful venue, and the ceremony room was beautifully decorated before our guests arrived. We were allowed to bring some of our own reserved seat signs which a friend put on before guests were seated. The venue had an easy to use Bluetooth system to allow a friend to run the music for the ceremony with ease. We were allowed plenty of time for photos after the ceremony, and although there were people attending the gallery for an art exhibition, the gallery staff ensured people stayed where they were so we could get some pictures up the stairs. Overall, would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful, and affordable wedding ceremony. Thank you all again.

The most perfect day!

Me and my new Husband are over the moon with how the ceremony went! Couldn’t have asked for anything better. We were able to personalise our vows and also read our own words. The venue is beautiful and we were able to add our own easel and bring confetti for guests. All the guests mentioned how lovely the venue is and how it’s the most unique place they have witnessed anyone get married.

Thank you so much for the most perfect day x

Wedding 14/09/24

A beautiful place to have a wedding, registrars are lovely and nothing too much trouble, had a brilliant sense of humour with all our guests and gave us the ceremony we wanted.
Parking at the usher for the bridal party and ample parking close by for guests.
Lovely little coffee shop at the collection next door for early arrivals.
No fresh flowers in the usher as can damage the artifacts in the ceremony room.
Pretty but simply decorated with stunning photo opertunities with views of the cathedral.
Would highly recommend if you want something a little more special than a registry office.

Beautiful venue, professionally run, and a great atmosphere.

It is a lovely venue and really special to me as a frequent visitor to the gallery when I was a teenager. Layout is good, and the recent decoration made it a lovely place with a great atmosphere and a sense of history with the beautiful paintings. The drive up to the steps made a great entry and ease of parking, and the grounds are lovely for the photography and being allowed inside around the gallery made it really special. We had a great day, as did all our guests.

Our Wedding at the Usher.

Usher is a fantastic and scenic venue right in the middle of Lincoln with plenty of parking for guests.
The team at the gallery were extremely friendly and supportive on our day and the venue was clean and looked stunning. The ground are fantastic for waiting guests to enjoy and for photographs after.
Overall a fantastic venue steeped in history and looks the part.

A great venue

The team at the Usher Gallery couldn’t have been more helpful with us when we were organising our wedding. They were quick to answer questions and on hand during the day to ensure our ceremony ran well for us. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Just be prepared to not have fresh flowers in the gallery due to the artwork etc but you can have some to hand for when you are outside for photos.

Brilliant photo opportunities - both inside or outside; particularly behind the gallery.
