Weddings: Spaces available
Divinity School – Reception package
The magnificent late-gothic Divinity School lends itself to a truly mesmerising space for wedding receptions. The striking stone-carved ceiling and the warm stone floor create a flare of grandeur and the large arched windows enhance the romantic nature of the room, particularly when the early evening sun filters through.
For seated wedding receptions, the Divinity School can accommodate either college or cabaret style seating for up to one hundred and twenty guests.
Convocation House and Chancellor's Court
– Ceremony only
Convocation House is used as a space to host wedding ceremonies, seating up to one-hundred guests.
The room features a breath-taking fan-vaulted ceiling and intricately carved woodwork including the fixed benches with chapel style seating.
Adjoining Convocation House is the anteroom, Chancellor’s Court. This room is used as the private entrance for ceremonies that take place during the day. Originally built in the 17th century, Convocation House was once designed as a meeting place for the University’s supreme legislative body while Chancellor’s Court was the University’s former courtroom.
Outdoor spaces
To romanticise your wedding further, stunning outdoor spaces like the Old Schools Quad can be exclusively yours for an intimate cocktail hour or a celebratory drinks reception after your wedding ceremony.
A picturesque spot for your newly wedded couples is the Wren door. This faces the Sheldonian Theatre and has been used to frame countless moments between couples and their loved ones.
Beyond these spaces are the Bridge of Sighs, the Clarendon steps, the Radcliffe Camera, and even the iconic red telephone box beyond the Clarendon Quad.
