Moving Venue’s Newest Venue listing!
Moving Venue is delighted to announce that we have been added to the approved list of caterers for Banqueting House.
Take a look at Moving Venue's newest listing - Banqueting House
Purpose-built to host lavish feasts and celebrations for almost 400 years, Banqueting House is the original ‘party palace’ and a part of the Historic Royal Palaces portfolio.
After the previous Banqueting House burnt down, in 1622 King James I commanded Inigo Jones, a highly regarded architectural advisor, to create a sumptuous and elegant replacement. Now, this magnificent neo-classical hall located on Whitehall could be the perfect setting for your event.
Rubens' Ceiling
One of the most impressive features of Banqueting House is the iconic Rubens’ ceiling in the Main Hall. The only surviving in-situ ceiling painting by Flemish artist, Sir Peter Paul Rubens, provides a unique and memorable backdrop for your event. Guaranteed to wow guests as they enter the Main Hall.
Banqueting House has two versatile spaces – The Undercroft and The Main Hall.
The Undercroft can host 320 guests for a reception, or 120 for a seated dinner. The intimate atmosphere of this vaulted space offers guests a pleasant complement to the soaring, majestic Main Hall. Once enjoyed as a drinking den by King James I and his riotous, party-loving courtiers, it still serves as a wonderful space for drinks receptions, and late-night parties.
The Main Hall can facilitate up to 500 guests for a reception and 380 for a seated dinner. One of London’s most desirable event spaces, the Main Hall is spacious enough to accommodate large receptions, awards ceremonies and dinners, yet intimate for smaller personal celebrations. This light room boasts wonderful acoustics and magnificent pillars soaring toward one of the world’s great masterpieces: Rubens’ irreplaceable ceiling.
Moving Venue can’t wait to cater magnificent dinners and receptions within this venue, so please do get in touch if you are interested to hear more.
