Royal Connections
Windsor Castle might not be an option but if your dream is to get married in Windsor you can at Windsor Guildhall. The Royal Wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles took place here as did the civil partnership ceremony of pop royalty Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish.
If you want to be treated like a Prince and Princess on your wedding day, did you know you can get married at The Orangery in Kensington Palace? Both the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle live here and the announcement of the engagement of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took place in the Sunken Garden in the grounds.
Hampton Court Palace was home to some of England’s famous kings and queens from Henry VIII and his six wives, to William III and Mary II and you can get married in this historic Tudor palace. Don’t miss their Wedding Showcase on 25 February 2018.
