Situated in the heart of the Royal town of Windsor, The Windsor Guildhall is a stunning private hire venue, ideal for weddings, dinners, event hire and filming opportunities. The building dates from 1689 and is a unique historic venue with royal connections that span the centuries. The Guildhall can host up to 100 guests.

The Windsor Guildhall was the chosen wedding venue of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla (when they were The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall), as well as that of Sir Elton John and David Furnish.

Flooded with natural daylight, surrounded by royal portraits of the last five centuries and lit by the glittering chandeliers (on loan from the Royal Collection Trust on behalf of The Monarch), the Council Chamber is a stunning room in which to tie the knot or host an event. 

The Windsor Guildhall is a popular choice for small, intimate weddings but can also cater for larger wedding parties of up to 100 people. It was the Royal Borough's most popular licenced venue for weddings and ceremonies in 2023.
