Welcome

Opening the evening in the Great Gallery

Hertford House, a Marylebone townhouse and museum, opens its galleries and glass-roofed Courtyard to evening wedding celebrations once the museum has closed to the public.

Before guests arrive, the couple and bridal party can have a private photo shoot throughout the Drawing Room Suite. The Great Gallery is then the setting for a moment to relive saying 'I do', a start to the evening celebrations. The room is surrounded by the most celebrated masterpieces in the collection.

Receptions

Galleries for drinks, the Courtyard for dinner

Guests ascend the Grand Staircase for drinks among priceless artworks and furniture once owned by Marie Antoinette and favoured by the Sun King of France. A harp or baby grand can provide music as guests revel. Celebrations then continue in the Courtyard, the Hertford family's former Sculpture Garden, with its soaring glass roof, marble floor and urns. The space suits any style and taste in both summer and winter, and it is set up for a dinner dance.
