Combining elements of our classic package with a touch of luxury, this experience is designed to host your South Asian wedding within Kew’s largest and most extraordinary spaces.

Our South Asian wedding package includes the Nash Conservatory, the Princess of Wales Conservatory, and a choice between The Orangery or Temperate House.   

Religious ceremony  

Begin your wedding day surrounded by lush greenery with a religious blessing in the enchanting Nash Conservatory. With capacity for 200 guests and natural light pouring through floor-to-ceiling windows, this glasshouse is an elegant and versatile space to make your own.   

Drinks reception  

After your ceremony, serve drinks on the secluded lawn behind the Conservatory or nearby in the colourful Princess of Wales Conservatory, Kew’s tropical glasshouse.

You’ll have time to tour the Gardens in an escorted buggy for photos in our most scenic locations while your guests enjoy their drinks.  

Dinner dance  

To continue your celebrations into the evening, we offer a choice between the classic elegance of the Orangery or our most iconic venue, Temperate House.  

The Orangery  

A Grade I listed building, the Orangery is an ideal setting for your wedding reception. The large, open plan design can accommodate up to 200 guests for a seated dinner dance. With high ceilings and grand, arched windows, the room is filled with natural light – inviting you to celebrate in an atmosphere that is both stylish and serene.  

During the summer months your guests can relax on the Orangery’s large terrace, gazing out onto the majestic Great Broad Walk Borders, a stunning promenade at the heart of Kew.     

Temperate House  

The world’s largest Victorian glasshouse, the Temperate House is the perfect location for a breathtaking celebration. This spectacular venue can host up to 230 guests for your evening dinner dance.  

A glistening cathedral, the freshly restored venue is home to 10,000 species of plants from the world’s temperate zones, offering you and your guests a rare opportunity to dine and dance in a space that is truly alive.
