Historic Royal Palaces, a charity that supports the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, Kew Palace and more, has announced that it will host the Engage!19 London Experience, a wedding summit.
The summit will take place from 28-31 October at Rosewood London. Its primary aim is to connect and educate wedding industry and event professionals with keynote sessions and panel discussions.
Attendees will be given various opportunities to network and experience the HM Tower of London, Banqueting House, Kensington Palace and Hampton Court Palace.
Historic Royal Palaces will also present its venue portfolio to Engage!19 attendees, in collaboration with Sarah Haywood Weddings and Celebrations, the wedding and party planner.
The welcome party will be hosted at HM Tower of London. The night will include a private viewing of the crown jewels and will explore the historic spaces available for events and celebrations.
Day two will be hosted at Banqueting House, where attendees will have the opportunity to dine like a King or Queen.
Finally, guests will also have the opportunity to tour Hampton Court Palace.
Milan Thakrar, business development manager at Historic Royal Palaces, said: “We are delighted that the time has come to welcome the Engage!19 Summit to London and to open the doors of our iconic palaces to industry leaders from all over the world. After months of planning, we are thrilled to be showcasing the best of the British wedding industry with our incredible accredited suppliers.
“It is also an opportunity to raise awareness that income raised from events at the palaces, including venue hire, is reinvested in conservation and education activities, to ensure they remain well maintained and open for all to enjoy.”
Hayward concluded: “The destination wedding market has topped $300 billion world-wide and with more and more overseas couples dreaming of marrying like a prince and princess in a palace, London is the only destination in the world for such an authentic experience. We are thrilled to be working with the Historic Royal Palaces teams in their outstanding venues to create this world-class event.”
