We absolutely adored Orleans House Gallery for our wedding ceremony and drinks and canapé reception. From our very first viewing through to the big day itself, the service was impeccable. The venue is absolutely stunning, set within beautiful gardens on the banks of the River Thames. Combined with the incredible staff, who operate like a well-oiled machine while making you feel special as though yours is the only wedding they've ever hosted, Orleans House Gallery truly is the perfect venue. Our wedding day flew by, and we wouldn't change a thing. We o

We had the perfect big day here and we could not recommend this venue more. Our wedding was in October, and autumnal Richmond is a breath-taking romantic tale. All our guests were mesmerised by the colourful leaves and beautiful scenery on their way in, which set the perfect stage for our ceremony. The venue itself is historic yet ornate, evoking a sense of solemnity with a flair of romance. Leslie was there coordinating the whole event, and she’s superb at doing this job, making sure your day goes seamless and enjoyable. She even helped calm me down just before I was about to walk the aisle.. Everyone, o

We are beyond grateful to the Wedding coordinator Kinga at Orleans House Gallery for ensuring our wedding day took place without a hitch. From start to finish, Kinga was incredibly thorough, informative, and always available to answer any questions promptly, making the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. Her attention to detail and organization ensured everything came together seamlessly on our wedding day. A heartfelt special thank you to the wedding attendant, Lesley C for being such a calming and attentive presence on the day itself. She ensured every detail was perfect, and thanks to her support, we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment.

When Helen and I saw Orleans House Gallery we were very lucky to have seen the aftermath of a wedding party taking place post ceremony. The weather was fantastic, the interior decoration of the Octagon room was lovely, and the staff were very friendly from the beginning even though we were just walking passed. Since then we knew OHG would be our wedding ceremony venue. The capacity was perfect for an intimate group and the surrounding grounds enabled th

We were married at Orleans House Gallery in August 2024. From booking the venue, the process felt smooth and well managed. We first had contact with Beverley who discussed the terms of the booking and sent us all information we could need about the venue and how the day would run. She always responded quickly to correspondence and was very accommodating when our plans changed slightly. We then had contact with Kinga ahead of the day who really put us at ease, and answered all final questions we had, guiding us through the plan for the day. And on the wedding day itself we were looked after by Lesley who could not have done more to assist us. She was extremely organised and managed everyone really well. She was kind and efficient and we felt very looked after. The venue itself was stunning and our guests were in awe of the grandness and beauty. Having a smaller ceremony meant it felt really personal and intimate, and we had a lot of lovely feedback on that. We were able to tailor a ceremony that really reflected us, whilst holding it in a stunning setting. We would not have changed a thing and had the best day ever. We are just sad
