The Petersham Hotel, on Nightingale Lane in Richmond, southwest London, hosts business meetings for up to 35 people, private events and weddings. Weddings run from 20 to 90 guests for the wedding breakfast and up to 120 for a reception. Five named private rooms are available, and the hotel has 61 bedrooms on site.
Seminars and company events
The hotel offers private rooms for business use with up to 35 people. The site presents a Business page and a Private Events page with a room for every occasion, but gives no per-room capacities or equipment, so ask the events team which room fits a day meeting, a board dinner or a client lunch. With 61 bedrooms on the same property, a group can meet and stay in one building. The restaurant, with river views from every table, can be used for lunch and dinner.
Weddings and receptions
The Petersham is licensed to host wedding ceremonies on the premises. The hotel offers three wedding packages and will tailor a fourth. The stated capacities are 20 to 90 guests for a wedding breakfast and up to 120 for a reception. The Portland stone staircase and marble floor, in a building from 1865, form the backdrop for wedding photographs. The hotel also hosts memorial and funeral services in what it describes as a peaceful setting.
Rooms and capacities
Five private rooms are named on the hotel's site: The River Room, The Terrace & Rose, Nightingales, The Cellars and The Alcove. The site does not give individual capacities for them. The hotel-wide figures are 35 for business meetings, 90 for a seated wedding meal and 120 for a reception.
Accommodation
