Welcome

Vows in the Hall, the Large Pension Room or The Walks

Gray’s Inn is a working Inn of Court where couples wed beneath an Elizabethan Armada screen, then cross into historic five-acre gardens.

The Hall within the Domus Building is licensed for weddings, so ceremonies take place beneath the Great Screen and stained glass. The Large Pension Room is also licensed for wedding ceremonies and suits smaller gatherings on the first floor. The Walks, Gray’s Inn’s private gardens, are licensed for outdoor weddings during the warmer months. There are three licensed ceremony spaces in total, including The Hall, the Large Pension Room and The Walks. Outdoor ceremonies in The Walks are possible for up to 250 guests.

Receptions

From first-floor rooms to The Walks

The Large Pension Room on the first floor of the Domus Building, with its chandeliers and marble fireplace, takes a daytime reception or a smaller wedding breakfast. The Benchers' Library, with tall windows over Gray's Inn Square, takes a private lunch or dinner and serves as the couple's own room on the day. The Walks are a five-acre private garden in central London, with lawns and tree-lined paths for the reception drinks and the photographs.
