With a particularly busy year at Royal Museums Greenwich coming up in 2020, we wanted our second wedding showcase of the year to focus on what is usually the quieter wedding season and show our couples some winter wonders! We started working on the day back in September, coordinating a variety of suppliers offering our clients a real taste of what they can do, not only at Queen’s House but at our four other venues too.
