Last update: June 2024
Situated on the highest point of Richmond Park, London, is the beautiful grade II listed Pembroke Lodge. One of the city’s most popular wedding venues, this site has 11 acres of landscaped grounds, stunning views, and over 50 years of experience in hosting wonderful weddings.
Facilities and Capacity
Pembroke Lodge makes the rather impressive claim of being the only wedding venue situated within a London Royal Park. Richmond Park is the largest Royal Park and the tranquil space is home to around 650 deer; as you wander the park you’ll feel a million miles from the bustling and vibrant city nearby. The Lodge itself boasts an impressive frontage, sure to impress guests as soon as they arrive, as well as a light and airy interior. Licensed for civil ceremonies, you can say your vows in The Belvedere, a light-filled and neutral space that lends itself perfectly to any colour scheme or style. The space can accommodate up to 140 guests for your ceremony. The Russell Suite is also licensed for civil ceremonies and is the ideal choice for smaller weddings of up to 70 guests. The room features large period style windows, classic portraits and a stunning marble fireplace. You also have the option to marry outside on the Belvedere Terrace. Looking out onto acres of spectacular grounds, this is a truly romantic spot to say ‘I do’. The terrace is also the ideal place to pop a cork and begin celebrating your marriage, with an elegant drinks reception. As guests mingle and enjoy the views you can slip away to capture some photographs within the park. Your photographs are your lasting memory of the wedding and therefore form an important part of your day. The view from King Henry’s mound within the gardens, is the only view in London that is protected by an Act of Parliament, what better backdrop for your pictures?
Services Offered
The highly experienced wedding team at Pembroke Lodge will assist you in the planning of your special day, from your first enquiry right through to the departure of the very last guest. From a grand, large scale affair to an intimate ceremony followed by drinks, the team are happy to accommodate your wishes.

An incredible wedding venue
We had our wedding at Pembroke Lodge on 12 May 2023 and it was incredible. The views are gorgeous and the photo opportunities are endless with beautiful floral and green surroundings. The team were super responsive throughout the process which is really reassuring and helpful when planning a wedding, and Nelson who ran the day was just fantastic. Every single detail was thought of and they run a really slick operation. This is essential as it meant I had a lot less to think about! They put me and my partner at ease throughout. The food and service on the day was fantastic, so many of our guests said this was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Highly recommend! (Photos by Costa Weddings UK)

Just do it. They are amazing!
We got married on the 3rd of October this year, and the team made our day magical! What a smooth day. We loved every second of it! The guests loved everything, and raved about the food and organisation.
Hiring Pembroke Lodge was easy. We had a viewing where all information was shared in detail and super clear to understand and make a decision.
On the months leading up to the big day our contact was Alice. Alice is a star. Responsive, professional, and had answers and solutions to everything.
On the day, Nelson coordinated the whole thing, minute by minute, and we are forever grateful for his politeness, professionalism and high spirits. We felt safe and in good hands. I would give Pembroke Lodge way over 5 stars if I could :)

Perfect day
We had the most perfect day. The team have all been so responsive and accommodating of our every request. The venue is beautiful and we were lucky to have gorgeous sunset views. It is truly a countryside wedding but conveniently close to London, which was important for our overseas guests. The food was fantastic and staff were professional and efficient. Would recommend to anyone.

Thank you for making our day so special!
We recently had our wedding at Pembroke Lodge, and I cannot say enough good things about the venue, the team and manager, Robert. From the moment we started planning to the big day itself, he was absolutely incredible.
Robert went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. He was always available to answer our questions, offer solutions, and provide creative suggestions that enhanced our vision. He coordinated effortlessly with our vendors, making sure everyone was on the same page, which took so much stress off our shoulders.
On the day of the wedding, he was a true rockstar! He made sure the timeline flowed perfectly, from setting up the ceremony space to ensuring the reception transitions were seamless. His dedication and hands-on approach allowed us to enjoy every moment without worrying about a single thing.
Our wedding was a dream come true, and we owe so much of that to him and the team! Thank you, for everything you all did to make our day magical.

Brilliant venue
Pembroke Lodge is a beautiful venue in the middle of Richmond park! We had a great day on our wedding despite the fact that it rained heavily the whole day. What we loved about the venue was that it was beautiful and light inside so when our summer wedding had to be held inside last minute, we were still happy. The staff were wonderful, very helpful and responsive. I highly recommend this venue if you are looking for classy, but laid back atmosphere. If not raining there are also some beautiful spots for photos!

Magical Wedding at Pembroke Lodge – Stunning Views
We recently got married in The Russell Suite at Pembroke Lodge, and it was an absolutely beautiful day. Our outdoor ceremony in The Woodland Garden was both stunning and private, providing the perfect backdrop for our vows. The grounds are breathtaking, and despite our initial concerns about the public nature of the park, the congratulations we received from passersby only added to the magic of the day.
We took advantage of the venue's amazing recommended suppliers, all of whom exceeded our expectations and contributed to the smooth-running of the day. Having a food tasting prior to our wedding was an added bonus, as this is not something always offered by other venues. Our guests particularly enjoyed the canapés, and the pizza in the evening was exceptional.
The day went exactly as we had hoped. Special thanks to Alice, whose clear communication in the lead-up to the wedding was greatly appreciated. Nicola also proved to be an excellent addition to your team. The setting and views were major reasons we chose Pembroke Lodge, and they did not disappoint. Our guests were in awe of the scenery, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice.
For a fabulous London location, Pembroke Lodge offers great value for money. If you're looking for a picturesque venue in beautiful surroundings, then we recommend Pembroke Lodge.

Beautiful wedding venue in Richmond Park
Our wedding in Pembroke is picture perfect and the day went by smoothly thanks to our wedding coordinator Nelson and his team. Communication is good and they respond to all questions promptly. All our guests loved the food and the portions are generous.

Stunning Venue & Wonderful Team
Pembroke Lodge was the most perfect backdrop for our special day! We were married in the Belvedere room, and we lucky enough to get to use the terrace as well as the weather held out. The entire property is stunning, and the team was amazing! Everything went off without a hitch, and Nelson was so on top of everything that my husband and I got to just enjoy the day, worry-free!

Rain or Shine, Pembroke Lodge Delivered an Unforgettable Wedding Experience!
We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the exceptional service and unforgettable experience we had at Pembroke Lodge during our wedding celebration on Thursday, 28th March 2024.
From the moment we stepped foot into the venue, on a rainy Thursday, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day (despite the weather). The ambiance was enchanting, the surroundings breath taking, and every detail was meticulously attended to. The entire team went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was flawless, and for that, we are truly grateful. They took an eclectic mix of Nationalities in their stride, and were flexible to changing demands on the day even when some of the guests making the requests spoke little to no English.
We were particularly impressed by the dedication and attentiveness of the staff team led on the day by the wonderful Nelson. They were not only professional but also warm and accommodating, making us feel like we were in capable hands throughout the entire planning process and on the day itself. Their commitment to excellence truly made our wedding day stress-free and allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the joy of the moment.
The feedback from our guests has been overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting on the beauty of the venue and the impeccable service they received, and stating that it was the best wedding they had ever attended. It's clear that the team's hard work and dedication made a lasting impression on everyone who attended.
Our wedding day was everything we could have hoped for and more, thanks in large part to the incredible team at Pembroke Lodge. We will cherish the memories of our special day for a thousand years and more, and we have them to thank for helping to make it all possible.

They made everything so easy!
We thoroughly recommend Pembroke Lodge as a wedding venue. The events team were simply fantastic - they made everything so easy and stress free for us while we were planning our wedding. Nelson and Emma in particular were superb. They ensured all our questions were answered in the preparation phase and eased on-the-day nerves by executing all our requests with perfection and professionalism. Thank you Pembroke Lodge!

Perfection
Our daughter got married at St Andrew’s Church, Ham Common, so The Belvedere Suite at Pembroke Lodge was the perfect location at which to host the Reception that followed
From the moment we first viewed the venue, some 15 months earlier, to collecting the decorations we had provided the morning after the wedding, I honestly could not fault a thing & we are some very picky people!
The whole team at Pembroke simply could not do enough to help & accommodate our needs ensuring an absolutely perfect day
I don’t know if they also have some ‘special contacts’ as we also enjoyed incredible weather! Considering 2023 was somewhat lacking in that department, we were so fortunate that on Friday 6 October the sun shone for us As a result, the drinks reception on the terrace was, as one guest remarked, ‘like being in the Med’ & the views … just wow!
We decided to increase the number of canapés instead of having a starter - such a great selection - and the main meals were also delicious, commented on by all.
The ‘Desert Canapés’ also went down a treat providing a choice whilst enabling guests to also swop around which was fun & again proved a talking point. I would really recommend these as it’s difficult to find a one dessert that fits all.
But although the location, the venue & the food were all excellent, it is the staff who are the real stars of the show
Emma, Nelson & all the other support staff - we simply cannot thank you enough for all your hard work, your endless patience & most importantly letting it be a truly individual event (unlike so many wedding venues where you are expected to fit into their ‘pre-determined wedding box’!)
Perfect & magical are the two words used most by our guests to describe the day & I couldn’t disagree
In fact given the chance of a ‘do over’ I honestly wouldn’t change a thing … and there’s not often in life when you can say that!

The perfect day
The first time we visited Pembroke Lodge, we knew it was something special & this was before meeting the team!
With its beautiful surroundings, building & backdrop, it really is the perfect setting for a perfect day.
We used the downstairs room & had access to the amazing terrace which, paired with sunshine & warmth, we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Nelson, Emma & their team were absolutely wonderful. Being a bit…. Let’s say specific when it came to the wedding (I can’t even tell you how many spreadsheets I had during the whole planning process), Nelson & Emma couldn’t have done more to do everything in their power to give us exactly what we wanted & needed as well as exactly the right advice when required.
Emma answered so many (too many!) of my emails so expertly & quickly with nothing being too much of a problem.
The day itself went so smoothly I was pinching myself, everything I went to check on the status of, Nelson had already dealt with & in the most discreet way possible.
The food was absolutely delicious & everybody is still raving about it! From the canapés to the dessert.
I couldn’t recommend Pembroke Lodge & it’s staff more highly, they deserve every single 5 star review that they have earned.
We can’t wait to continue being able to return & visit our most special place.
