Built in 1751, Old Palace is one of the earliest Georgian buildings in historic Chester. At every turn you'll discover fine architectural features and interesting details from the Chinese lattice staircases, to the encaustic tiled floors. This is a truly unique venue for your wedding or event. ⁠

"My wife and I had the pleasure of getting married here on 21.12.23. The whole experience from start to finish was nothing short of perfection.⁠
⁠
We were made to feel like complete VIPs, nothing was too much trouble. The food was exceptional as was everything throughout our amazing day.⁠
⁠
Lauren and Georgie looked after us every step of the way and for that we are truly grateful. We would recommend anyone getting married, to look no further because this is your venue.⁠
⁠
Thank you to everyone at the Old Palace from the bottom of our hearts! We couldn’t have done it without you."⁠
⁠
- Georgia & Liam, 21.12.23

The @chesterbandstand is just a short stroll along The Groves from Old Palace, and is an adored landmark within the city. Many of our couples take full advantage of this spot for their wedding photos, with the gentle roll of the River Dee in the background... ⁠
