Brilliant wedding venue
Absolutely brilliant place to get married!
Palace for events
Some of the most lavish and memorable marriages are associated with Hampton Court Palace. Henry VIII although known for being wed many times has created an outstanding place for couples to have a link with a seat of Monarchy.
A Royal venue
Where else can you dine in a similarly lavish style as monarchs including Henry VIII were used to? All this plus acres of stunning grounds and still close to London make this a winner for me.
