The house and grounds will be exclusively yours for the day to give you and your guests complete privacy. You and your suppliers will be able to access the house from 8am to set up and it’ll be yours for the entire day all the way through until midnight.

The main hall, overlooking Bushy Park is approximately 9m x 8m. We are licensed in this room to hold civil ceremonies for up to 150 people (120 seated and 30 adults standing on the balcony area). If this area is not required for a civil ceremony then the hall makes a wonderful room for the drinks reception. There are two fires which can be lit on request. The grand piano may be played by a professional player during the ceremony and drinks reception.

The gallery overlooking the main hall may be used as a standing area during the civil ceremony. No children are allowed on the gallery due to health and safety reasons. The gallery area access is then closed after the ceremony.

The great dining hall complete with a stage measures 15m x 9m and has the capacity for 150 guests for a sit-down meal. Hampton Court House provides round tables and chairs.

The conservatory measures 11m x 9m and is available for dancing with plenty of space for a band or DJ. The ceiling of the conservatory has LED fairy lights, perfect to set the mood for the evening party. You will also have use of Hampton Court House’s bar. The conservatory leads out on to the terrace palm garden.

The flower corridor is the corridor connecting the main hall and the conservatory. There is a cloakroom for coats and belongings located next to the flower corridor.

The dining room and conservatory are accessible by wheel chair from the garden. Lavatories in both the main hall and dining area accommodate wheelchairs.

There is no wheelchair access to the main hall and flower corridor due to a short flight of steep stairs and steps. However, manual lifting to navigate these steps can be arranged with the help of someone from the wedding party.

Seating and tables are provided throughout the house including sofas and chairs in the main hall, sofas in the flower corridor and chairs and tables in the dining room.

The ladies and gentlemen’s lavatories are close to the dining room and there are an additional three individual, unisex lavatories close to the main hall. All will be provided with soap and paper towels and there is the option of bringing luxury toiletries with you to display in each.

The gardens are very private and are entirely protected from public view. The garden is complete with a heart shaped lake, shell grotto and palm trees.

We have a licence to hold civil ceremonies in the garden.

The playground equipment and lake are strictly out of bounds and should not be used by guests. This is for health and safety reasons.

The grounds can accommodate large marquees. Marquees can be erected on the grounds by a professional marquee company. They should be erected on the day of event/wedding with access to the grounds from 8am and should be taken down by 8am the next day.

We have an extensive list of approved caterers who will work with you to create the perfect menu for you, all of whom can be found on our supplier list. Please contact us for a list.

One of our approved caterers from the list must be chosen to cater and run the bar for the day. All caterers must provide a food hygiene certificate, public liability insurance and adhere to the house terms and conditions.

You may bring your own alcohol to be served throughout the day by your caterers and there is no corkage fee.

For the evening bar, if you would prefer to run a pay bar, please get in touch with us for recommended bar suppliers.

Caterers are responsible for removing the general waste and empty bottles from the premises. Failure to do this can jeopardise the return of the refundable deposit. This information is outlined in the terms and conditions for external caterers.

We have some great suppliers to choose from on our approved suppliers list including caterers, DJs, florists, photographers, etc. Please contact us for a list.

You’re most welcome to add decorations to the house and personalise it how you would like. Decorations will need to be approved by the events team prior to the wedding/event. Please note that decorations are solely the responsibility of the hirer.

Candles are permitted in some areas in the house, so long as they are made safe and displayed in a holder, the holder must be taller than the flame. Candles should not be used in the lavatories, on floors and stairs for safety reasons.

Additional lighting for inside and outside may be provided by a certified lighting company. There are sockets available on the grounds but power extension cables should be provided by the lighting company.

Couples are required to book their ceremony with the Registrar at Richmond Borough Council. You can do this online up to a year ahead of your wedding date.

Ceremonies can take place at Hampton Court House during the the afternoon from 2pm. If requesting a late ceremony (after 8pm) there is an additional fee on top of the attendance fee.

On the day, the groom sees the registrar approximately twenty minutes before the ceremony followed by the bride. The bride will be greeted by the Venue Manager at the gate and shown to the registry room through the side entry to avoid being seen before the ceremony.

The bride then retraces her steps to make her stunning appearance via the front door.
