Ceremony and reception spaces at a historic Hamilton venue

Surrounded by original period features, the venue offers a choice of welcoming and characterful spaces for your day.

The Assembly Room can host around 80 guests for ceremonies and seated receptions, and weddings here are run on an exclusive-use basis, giving you private access to the room and the adjoining courtyard gardens. Its high ceilings, arched windows, decorative plasterwork, baby grand piano and raised musician’s gallery create a distinctive historic setting, especially if you’re planning live music.

Just outside, the courtyard gardens suit similar numbers and include a pagoda that works well for photos and drinks. Easy indoor-outdoor movement and on-site parking add to its practicality for guests.

Wedding catering and reception food

Catering at Low Parks Museum is flexible and suited to smaller, more relaxed celebrations. The venue offers options such as afternoon-tea style wedding receptions, along with toast drinks and light catering that pairs well with the intimate setting of the Assembly Room and courtyard gardens.

Couples can speak directly with the team to explore available menu choices or to check whether external catering can be incorporated into their plans. This approach allows you to shape the food and drink around the style of day you want.

Perfect space for small, meaningful celebrations

Low Parks Museum lends itself perfectly to smaller weddings, with the Assembly Room offering a warm and atmospheric setting that doesn’t feel overwhelming for modest numbers.

While it can host around 80 guests, the space also suits elopements with just a few witnesses or relaxed gatherings of 20–40 people. The adjoining courtyard gardens add a lovely extra spot for photos, a quiet drink after the ceremony or a more intimate moment together.

Couples choosing a smaller celebration can still enjoy all the period charm without needing a large guest list to fill the space.
