Format
A popular format for weddings at Trinity House comprises a welcome reception in the Court room followed by the Wedding Breakfast in the Library – with dancefloor in adjoining Pepys room and after dinner bar in the Reading room.
Smaller ceremonies for up to 60 can take place in the Court room with the adjoining Luncheon room for added space. While both rooms have high ceilings, tall sash-windows and are south-facing with Tower views, both have a different ‘feel’, providing added interest. Please visit Space and facilities | Trinity House for a floor plan and detailed review of individual rooms and capacities.
What’s Included
Experienced professional event managers will be on hand to help you plan your day, and they will also be there on the big day to ensure everything runs smoothly so you can focus on enjoying yourselves.
The venue is hired exclusively and includes:
- beautiful gold-crested, red leather chairs
- a choice of long or round tables
- a ceremonial sword for cutting your wedding cake
- use of the brass bell of the Royal Yacht Britannia
- in-house PA system in the Library
- wi-fi throughout the House
- a well-equipped kitchen (which will reduce your catering costs compared with other venues!)
- air-conditioning
- working fireplaces in the Court Room and Luncheon Room
- wheel-chair access
While not automatically included, a professional tour guide can be booked to talk about the history of Trinity House the building, and the organisation as whole which will keep your guests entertained while you’re off having photos taken during your drinks reception.
Preferred Caterers and Service Suppliers
In order to allow you to have a personalised wedding day, rather than a factory-style wedding, we have an extensive list of preferred caterers and service suppliers which can be found here: Caterers & Service Providers | Trinity House
This list may seem very long and overwhelming, so our event managers will discuss your vision for your wedding day, and then narrow the list down to suit your personal requirements.
Wedding Packages
For wedding menu inspiration and ideas, we have asked some of the caterers to create special packages and offers which can be found here: Event packages and offers | Trinity House These packages range in style and price from lavish to simple.
A great option is our two-hour value-orientated Wedding Ceremony. For this option, we can provide champagne flutes, and two waiting staff. You bring your own drinks which we can chill, and we won’t charge you any corkage. The two hours allow 30 mins for guests to arrive, 20-30 mins for your ceremony, then an hour for drinks and photos, before you head off to your next location for the rest of your reception. An optional extra for this is canapés created by Box Clever Events. They provide a wonderful drop-off service and their canapés are delicious and beautiful. If you would like to have canapés, we will need to hire 1-2 additional waiters, depending on the number of guests you have, and this cost will be added to your final invoice.
