The Orangery, is the main wedding venue and is located inside the adjacent Kensington Gardens, which was once private but is now a Royal park that is open to the public.

The venue is licensed for civil wedding and partnerships. Up to 50 events are held there every year. 

The Orangery was built in 1704 and was originally intended for Queen Anne to use to house her collection of exotic plants and orange trees. Now it serves primarily as a tea restaurant, which is closed on one weekend day every month for weddings.

To wed at the stunning venue costs at least $23,100 USD. Included in the price is a wedding planner, a taxi service, daytime cleaning, on-site security and a private entrance to Kensington Palace for your guests. The venue can accommodate 150 guests for a ceremony and 300 for a reception.

The fee does not cover food, flower, entertainment and other vendors. Kensington Palace has a list of approved list of companies for the couples to choose from.

The Kensington Gardens are also available for weddings in the summer, along with spaces inside the palace, such as the Cupola Room, the King's Gallery, the Drawing Room or the Entrance Hall. They can accommodate between 80 and 1,000 guests.
