Asylum Chapel

Wedding Ceremonies at Asylum Asylum is a Grade II Listed Building, built in 1826 by the Licensed Victualers Benevolent Institution for use by the residents of Caroline Gardens. These residents were made up of retired workers of the alcohol trade. Bombed in WWII, the present use of the chapel is as a flexible space which can be hired for photographic and film shoots, exhibitions, theatre and weddings. We welcome same-sex partnerships. The chapel is a ceremony-only venue, so you are able to have a toast and some canapés after your service but no sit-down meal, buffet or food trucks; your full reception would need to be taken offsite. The chapel is suitable for up to 120 guests. TIMINGS / WHAT’S INCLUDED There are two booking options per day: Morning Ceremony 9am – 2.30pm (suggested ceremony time 11am/12pm) Afternoon Ceremony 3.30pm – 8.00pm (suggested ceremony time 4/5pm) Each slot allows time for setting-up, the service, standing drinks, canapes and photos only. Prices are inclusive of chair hire, lighting and candle decoration.
