There are three areas in which to host your day; the Orangery, the Temple and the majestic magnificence of Gunnersbury Park House itself. The elegant house was built in 1802 and the magnificent double-height entrance hall, with grand stone staircase and oak balustrades leads through to the Rothschild Rooms. This sequence of opulent interconnecting rooms comprises the Conservatory, Drawing Room, Long Gallery and Dining Room, all of which can host up to 90 for your ceremony and 190 guests for your reception. Nestled at the foot of the south lawns, the Orangery is an exemplar of stunning glass architecture that previously housed the family’s exotic fruits and plants.
