Located on Tower Hill with direct views of the Tower of London, Trinity House is the working home of the General Lighthouse Authority with the ambience of a private Georgian residence. Behind the Georgian facade is a treasure trove of maritime artefacts, including the brass bell of the Royal Yacht Britannia - a quintessentially English venue for impressive weddings.
Where is Trinity House located?
Trinity House is located on Tower Hill a few minutes from the Tower Hill underground behind a set of evocative iron railings (which have featured in several films shot on location). Adjacent to the House is the prestigious 10 Trinity Square Four Seasons Hotel and the Grange Hotels offering five-star accommodation. It is within walking distance of the Thames and the historic All Hallows By The Tower and St. Olave's churches - a few of the medieval churches to survive (in part) the Great Fire of London in 1666.
What makes Trinity House a unique wedding venue?
Trinity House is uniquely located to impress wedding guests with surroundings which offer a distinctly English heritage feel...from views of the Tower of London (lit at night) to high-ceilinged interiors with tall south-facing sash windows. Ships models, valuable paintings of royalty and illustrious personages from England's maritime past are on display in the House's five rooms, reception hall and corridors ('the Quarterdeck). The House is available on an exclusive use basis and as it is generally closed to the public, is a venue not generally familiar to wedding planners and clients. The experienced events management team has garnered numerous accolades in the past for their efficient and professional expertise.
What is a typical wedding like at Trinity House?
A typical wedding at the House comprises a welcome reception in The Court Room for up to 130 guests where guests can admire the whimsical 'tromp l'oeil' ceilings, recreated by William Holman Hunt in the 1800's, and paintings of royal benefactors including King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. The Wedding Breakfast for up to 130 seated usually takes place in the Library at the far end of the House which offers direct views of the Tower of London. A Minstrels' Gallery is a highlight of the room which also features a showcase of maritime silver treasures and spectacular crystal chandeliers.
