William Kent House, the Grade II listed mansion beside The Ritz on Piccadilly, holds the hotel's wedding rooms, with Green Park outside the windows.
William Kent House on Piccadilly
William Kent House is the Grade II listed 18th-century mansion that adjoins The Ritz on Piccadilly and holds the hotel's wedding rooms: The William Kent Room, the hotel's private dining room; The Queen Elizabeth Room, a drawing room that looks onto Green Park; The Wimborne Room; and The Marie Antoinette Suite, in the Louis XVI style. The Grand Hall at the heart of the house is where all the rooms meet. The Royal Suite is within William Kent House too. The hotel itself, with The Ritz Restaurant and the Long Gallery, is where guests arrive, dine and sleep.
The ceremony is held in The Queen Elizabeth Room or The Marie Antoinette Suite, both licensed for weddings, or in the open air. The Grand Hall is the place for the group photographs. The Queen Elizabeth Room serves as the reception room to The William Kent Room, and The Marie Antoinette Suite takes a cocktail reception of its own. Dinner is laid in The William Kent Room or, for a smaller party, The Wimborne Room, and the hotel's own kitchen cooks it. Guests stay in the hotel's rooms and suites.

Ceremonies
Vows in William Kent House
William Kent House holds a licence for wedding ceremonies so couples can marry within the mansion rather than treating it only as a reception address. The Queen Elizabeth Room, a drawing room within the house, is licensed for wedding ceremonies. The Marie Antoinette Suite also serves as a ceremony room when used for weddings. Indoor ceremony settings sit at the heart of the house, and an outdoor ceremony setting is also available for those seeking to marry in the open air.
Receptions
The salons of William Kent House
The Grand Hall at the centre of William Kent House, where all the rooms meet, is where the group photographs are taken, under a mural by Mao Wen Biao and beside the gilded Victorian staircase. The Queen Elizabeth Room, a drawing room over Green Park, is the reception room to The William Kent Room, where dinner is served. The Wimborne Room, with damask silk walls and a gold leaf ceiling, takes a small lunch or dinner, and The Marie Antoinette Suite, off the Long Gallery beside The Ritz Restaurant, a cocktail reception.
The stay
The Royal Suite and the rooms upstairs
The Royal Suite is two floors of William Kent House that were once the private chambers of the Prime Minister Henry Pelham, and it looks over Green Park and The Secret Garden; the Prince of Wales Suite looks over Green Park too. The hotel's other rooms and suites are upstairs in the main building, and some suites connect to adjoining rooms for a family.
Food and drink
The kitchen behind every wedding
Every wedding is cooked by the hotel's own kitchen, which has held a Royal Warrant for Banqueting and Catering Services since 2002 and holds two Michelin stars in The Ritz Restaurant. The wedding menus draw on the restaurant's seasonal British cooking, and the hotel's bar serves the receptions.
