This exquisite gem, set within an oasis of beautiful
landscaped grounds, is one of West London’s most
sought-after locations for elegant occasions.
An 18th-century masterpiece of classical design,
Chiswick House boasts sweeping staircases, portico,
a central dome and tall columns reminiscent of
ancient Roman temples.
The lavishly gilded interiors provide a stylish setting
for civil wedding ceremonies and a sumptuous
backdrop for corporate and private events.
Designed in 1728 by the third Earl of Burlington,
Chiswick House was inspired by the architecture
of ancient Rome and 16th century Italy.
Few entrances are as grand.Two graceful
stone staircases lead directly into the Domed
Saloon which lies at the very heart of this
wonderful house.
Musicians playing in the shelter of the covered
portico can make the welcome even warmer, as
guests move into the octagonal room decorated
with paintings and trios of busts.
The unusual shape of the room is perfect for
dining and for civil wedding ceremonies. Seating
can be arranged with a traditional aisle, or in a
circular layout for a more intimate experience.
The Courtyard lies directly adjacent to the
House, adjoined by a lime tree avenue, which
can be dramatically lit at night.
This private and sheltered space is a lovely setting
for summer drinks receptions before dinner
within the House.
Stylish marquees can also be sited here, raising
the overall capacity to 150 for dinner or 130 for
dinner and dancing.
