Originally a chapel, this intimate and solemn room holds the significance of exchanging vows and joining lives together. Bathed in natural light from the grand sash windows, it offers breathtaking views of the River Dee and illuminates the intricate period details, including exquisite plaster mouldings.⁠

"We absolutely loved Old Palace, the venue does a lot of the talking as it is stunning. But the one thing that was even more impressive than the venue is the staff. From our first visit prior to booking, to the day itself and everything in between. We felt special, like everyone cared about us and all of our guests. The staff are some of the best we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. In particular Ben, Andrea and Erin were amazing throughout."
