Specially created for entertaining in 1622, the Banqueting House is truly a sight to behold. As you gather among family and friends to celebrate and begin a new life together, the Banqueting House’s timeless majesty offers a powerful reminder of precious links to the past.

Whether you’d like a spectacular wedding or an intimate reception, the Banqueting House guarantees first-class service and an unforgettable backdrop for your very special occasion. In the majestic Main Hall, magnificent pillars and glittering chandeliers will draw guests' gazes toward one of the world's great masterpieces: Sir Peter Paul Rubens’ glorious painted ceiling. Below sits the wonderfully atmospheric Undercroft, where Stuart kings once retreated from public life. This charming, vaulted space will radiate with good cheer and joyous bustle as your family and friends gather to celebrate and offer congratulations. 

Banqueting House is managed by Historic Royal Palaces, an independent charity that also looks after the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, Kensington Palace, Kew Palace and Hillsborough Castle and Gardens. We help everyone explore the story of how monarchs and people have shaped society, in some of the greatest palaces ever built. We raise all our own funds and depend on the support of our visitors, members, donors, sponsors and volunteers.
