Christ Church Kensington and Pembroke Lodge Wedding
Alice and Phillip’s wedding combined two beautiful London locations: a traditional church ceremony at Christ Church Kensington, followed by a relaxed and stylish reception at Pembroke Lodge in Richmond Park. If you’re planning a similar day, this pairing offers a great balance of classic and scenic.
Ceremony at Christ Church Kensington
Set in the heart of west London, Christ Church Kensington is a light-filled, Grade II-listed church with elegant gothic details and a warm atmosphere. It’s a great choice for couples wanting a traditional church ceremony with easy access to central or south west London reception venues.
Planning tip:
-
The church offers experienced wedding coordinators and a welcoming approach to planning – make sure to book early.
Reception at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park
After the ceremony, guests travelled to Pembroke Lodge, a Georgian mansion set on a hill in Richmond Park, with panoramic views across the Thames Valley. Alice and Phillip hosted their reception in the Belvedere Suite, which works well for larger parties and has direct access to gardens and parkland.
Why Pembroke Lodge works:
-
Exclusive-use spaces
-
Outdoor ceremony options in summer
-
Free parking and great photo spots nearby (including King Henry’s Mound)
Planning tips:
-
No confetti outside, so consider bubbles or biodegradable options
-
Factor in travel time between venues – Alice and Phillip used a vintage coach for guests
