At Confetti & Silk, we spent three of our most formative years in Greenwich, and to this day, we still think of it as our spiritual home. We’ve shot weddings at nearly every major venue in the area, and it’s where we truly cut our teeth as a London wedding videography team.

With that unique perspective, here’s our curated guide to the best wedding venues in Greenwich — from iconic landmarks to hidden gems — all perfect for unforgettable wedding videos.

A Brief History of Greenwich

Greenwich, once called the “Green wic” (meaning port), is steeped in maritime history. From the Royal Observatory (home of Greenwich Mean Time) to the sprawling Greenwich Park, this area is full of historical landmarks, many of which double as stunning wedding venues. We’ve spent countless hours filming and exploring here — and yes, even a few failed fitness runs in the park.

Top Greenwich Wedding Venues (With Videography Tips)

1. Old Royal Naval College – The Queen Mary Undercroft

Want to get married on a film set? This venue has featured in everything from James Bond to Pirates of the Caribbean. The Old Royal Naval College offers grandeur, flexibility, and beautiful architecture perfect for cinematic wedding videography.

• Capacity: 180 seated / 290 standing

• Starting Price: From £3,000

The covered column structures provide excellent sheltered spots for photos and video even if it rains. And the natural light in the Undercroft is surprisingly good for a below-ground venue.

3. The Painted Hall

One of the most spectacular wedding venues in London, the Painted Hall took 19 years to complete and has been dubbed “the finest dining hall in Europe.” If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind, show-stopping wedding venue, this is it.

• Capacity: 300 ceremony / 400 dinner

• Available for weddings from 4:30pm onwards

🎥 Videographer Tip:
Get portraits done earlier in the day while natural light is still available. Later, candlelit shots add depth and elegance to your wedding video.

4. St Alfege Church

A historic and intimate church where Henry VIII was baptised, St Alfege provides a beautiful and relaxed setting for your ceremony, with one of the friendliest vicars we’ve worked with.

🎥 Videographer Tip:
The entrance at the back offers privacy and a great spot for confetti shots. The vicar is very accommodating for filming, which is rare in historic churches.
