Some places are tailor-made for celebration, and the Queen’s House in Greenwich is one of them. This architectural gem, part of Royal Museums Greenwich, is a space imbued with history, beauty and charm, making it an ideal venue to make one’s big day a dream come true. 

The Queen’s House isn’t just a venue—it’s a masterpiece. Designed in 1616 by Inigo Jones, the first architect to bring Palladian design to England, it was originally a gift from King James I to Queen Anne of Denmark. Curiously, he gave it to her after he’d lost his temper at a mistake she’d made! Over the centuries, its perfect symmetry, sweeping colonnades, and iconic Great Hall have become standards of Renaissance elegance.

But history aside, the Queen’s House has a warmth and intimacy that transforms this stately building into an intimate destination.

One of the joys of the Queen’s House is its versatility. The Great Hall, with its striking black-and-white marble floor and high ceilings, makes a stunning space for ceremonies or receptions. Outside, the South Lawns offer sweeping views of Greenwich Park and the Thames—a beautiful spot for photographs or an outdoor celebration.

Then there’s the Tulip Stairs, an architectural marvel and the perfect place to capture unforgettable wedding photos.

But it’s not just the architecture or the history that makes the Queen’s House special—it’s the feeling it gives you. From the light streaming into the Great Hall, to the tranquility of the South Lawns, to the simple joy of walking through a space designed from love for love (and forgiveness!), the Queen’s House makes moments meaningful.

The Queen’s House may carry the grandeur of history, but it’s perfectly suited to modern celebrations, thanks to its incredible team of coordinators who can make any wedding a reality here. And with here also being London, a wedding at the Queen’s House makes for an ideal destination wedding.

If you’re considering the Queen’s House for your big day, you’re choosing more than a venue. You’re choosing an experience where centuries of beauty and love come together to create something truly timeless.

And for those whose wedding planning is best defined as spontaneous, the Queen’s House is available with a special offer on February 22nd, or March 8th, 22nd or 29th  2025. Get in touch with their team to know more!
