The River Room

Formerly the chapel of the bishop’s palace, the River Room seats up to 110 guests for your civil ceremony and is filled with natural light, its long aisle drawing you towards a bay window looking out to a secret garden. Chic décor, statement chandelier lighting down the central aisle and floor to ceiling curtains create an elegant yet neutral ambience.

Meanwhile, the Ballroom seats up to 150 beneath its impressive chandeliers and mirrored ceiling. With original architecture, contemporary style and a neutral colour scheme, it’s the perfect setting upon which to impart your own touches.

Outdoor Ceremonies

Perched above the River Dee and enclosed in lush private gardens, outdoor weddings at Old Palace Chester are truly unforgettable. The Garden Terrace provides the ideal setting while your guests are seated on the lawn, and you can exchange your vows in the great outdoors before celebrating in style.
