Venue highlight: The Chaplain’s garden marquee

A modern marquee for all seasons

Tucked away within the historic grounds of Fulham Palace, the Chaplain’s garden marquee offers a striking contrast to the centuries-old architecture that surrounds it. This contemporary space has been thoughtfully designed for larger celebrations, bringing flexibility and scale to one of London’s most characterful venues.

The Chaplain’s garden marquee balances style with practicality. Movable glass walls allow the space to open onto the gardens in warmer months, or remain closed to create a sheltered setting when needed. Integrated heating and cooling systems ensure comfort for all seasons, making the marquee a versatile space suited to festive parties, corporate events and private celebrations all year round.

The ultimate space for wedding breakfasts

With capacity for up to 180 seated guests, the Chaplain’s garden marquee acts as the ideal setting for wedding breakfasts on a grander scale while still feeling welcoming and intimate. Its open layout allows for a natural flow between dining and celebration, with easy access to the surrounding gardens.

Set within the eponymous Chaplain’s garden beside the 19th century Tait chapel, the marquee is elegantly framed by floral borders and ecclesiastical architecture. Despite its central London location, the garden feels calm and secluded, offering a wistful sense of escape for couples and their guests.

A summer wedding at Fulham Palace

Summer weddings unfold beautifully across the Fulham Palace estate. Guests can enjoy a canapé & drinks reception in the gorgeous Tudor walled garden before moving to the magnificent Tait chapel for blessings, followed by the wedding breakfast and evening celebrations in the Chaplain’s garden marquee.

Inside, the bright, inviting interior provides the perfect blank canvas for styling. A twelve foot ceiling height allows for statement floral installations and creative décor, giving each wedding a distinct and personal feel.
