An Exquisite Venue
for weddings
There can be few more amazing venues to hold your civil wedding or blessing than the Fitzrovia Chapel. Centrally located in the heart of London, yet intimate and unique in flavour, the Grade II*-listed chapel exudes grace, beauty, history and elegant charm. When you take a look through our pictures or come for a visit you’ll discover that the chapel is truly the kind of place where memories are made.
An Unusual
London Wedding Venue
Take a look at the wedding photos on this page or in our 2026 wedding brochure and you’ll see that the chapel is a different kind of place to get married. Many of our couples have been searching for a venue that’s like no other. We offer a building so steeped in beautiful design and history that you almost don’t need to dress it with florals — but of course you can.
There’s a certain style and exclusivity that comes with the chapel and, blended with your own ideas and wishes, this makes it a fabulous location for your special day.
A Legal Ceremony or a Celebration?
We are a registered venue for civil wedding ceremonies. This means that you can be legally married at the chapel if your ceremony is officiated by registrars from the London Borough of Westminster. This is a civil ceremony. Please ensure you reserve your date on our own calendar, confirm our hire charge, and ask us all your questions before you do this. You can then book the registrars on Westminster’s Day to Remember website. Our venue hire charge is separate to Westminster’s fee.
However, you may wish to do something slightly different. You may like to have a blessing in the presence of an independent celebrant or religious representative, for example. This is a celebration rather than a legal occasion. Some couples take care of the legal part at a Registry Office but have a day to remember at the chapel as well.
Questions about the Celebration
When you’re deciding on something as important as your wedding venue, there will be questions to ask each venue. From our experience, here are 10 questions that may be high on your list. We’ve added short replies to begin that conversation:
How many guests does the venue hold?
The chapel can seat 78 guests.
Will the ceremony be legal?
Yes, if you choose a civil ceremony held by Westminster registrars.
What does the venue hire fee include?
Chairs, glassware, our staff to serve drinks, LED candles, use of the organ and the exclusive use of the chapel are included. The registrar’s fee isn’t part of our venue hire charge.
Are there restrictions in the chapel?
We’re a Grade II* listed building so we have a list of restrictions we’ll share with you.
WHAT's A TYPICAL 2 HOUR HIRE?
Half an hour to prepare the chapel (when your florists or musicians set up) Half an hour for interviews with the registrars and for your guests to arrive. Twenty minutes for your ceremony. Forty minutes for drinks and photos.
WHAT DAYS OF THE WEEK CAN I GET MARRIED AT THE CHAPEL?
We only offer weddings on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Does the organ work?
Yes, our little electric organ is included in the hire fee and it sounds fantastic. You will need to hire an organist as well, but we can recommend one for you.
What drinks could I have after my ceremony?
We allow only Champagne, white wine, Prosecco, water and sparkling elderflower.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS REGARDING LIVE MUSIC, PHOTOGRAPHERS OR FLOWERS?
Yes, we have a lovely list of suppliers that we can share with you. You can also have a look through our Instagram @fitzroviachapel. for inspiration.
Can we have confetti?
We’re sorry but confetti (or rice or sparklers, for example) isn’t allowed either inside or outside the chapel. You also can’t throw it on the streets outside the square.
