Every corner of this magnificent structure exudes a sense of grandeur and timelessness, making it the perfect backdrop for your wedding vows.

St. Paul’s Cathedral isn’t just a building; it’s a living testament to centuries of British history. From royal weddings and state funerals to wartime resilience and moments of national celebration, this hallowed ground has witnessed it all. Imagine exchanging vows in a place that has been pivotal in shaping the nation’s story. Now, that’s what we call a genuinely historic wedding!
The OBE Chapel: A Hidden Gem for Intimate Ceremonies
Tucked away in the crypt of St Paul’s lies a hidden gem perfect for intimate wedding ceremonies: the OBE Chapel. This charming chapel, dedicated to the Order of the British Empire, exudes a sense of warmth and tranquillity. Its stained glass windows cast a kaleidoscope of colours, creating a magical ambience for your vows. With a capacity of 400 guests, it’s ideal for couples seeking a more intimate celebration within the grandeur of St Paul’s.
Beyond the OBE Chapel: A Venue for Every Vision
While the OBE Chapel is a popular choice, St Paul’s offers other unique spaces for your wedding. The atmospheric crypt, with its dramatic arches and historic tombs, is perfect for larger ceremonies or receptions. Alternatively, the elegant Chapter House, with its ornate ceiling and beautiful garden views, provides a stunning setting for a more intimate gathering.
Whichever space you choose, one thing’s for sure: your St Paul’s Cathedral wedding will be a day you and your guests will never forget.
