Few entrances are as grand. Two graceful stone staircases lead directly into the Domed Saloon which lies at the very heart of this wonderful house.
Blue Velvet Room
Once used by Lord Burlington as his study, the Blue Velvet Room with its stunning ceiling and 18th-century desk is a fitting location for bride and groom to sign the registrar’s book.
Red Velvet Room
Dining	24
From the Domed Saloon, guests may drift through elaborate framed doorways to the lavish surroundings of the Velvet Rooms. Resplendent in ruby and gold décor, the walls of the Red Velvet Room represent a triumph of the arts with valuable paintings from the 17th and 18th century. The room also boasts a large Venetian window with views towards the grounds.
Green Velvet Room
Dining	24
The walls of the Green Velvet Room show off the house’s fine collection of paintings, hung several deep in the style favoured during the 18th century.  The Velvet Rooms can be used for small intimate dinners or combined with the Domed Saloon, so that larger dinners and stylish drinks receptions can be held whilst retaining an intimate atmosphere.
Octagonal Hall and Library
Dancing	80
On the ground floor the Octagonal Hall, Library and adjoining rooms provide a perfect space for celebrating informally.  The stone flagged rooms offer a blank canvas which can be transformed with lighting and themed decoration for truly individual events.  Contemporary styling can create a great area for dancing and chilling-out after dinner.
Courtyard (marquee site)
Drinks reception	185
Dinner	150
Dinner Dance	130
The Courtyard lies directly adjacent to the House. This private and sheltered outdoor space is a lovely setting for summer drinks receptions before dinner within the House. Guests can stroll directly into the gardens or down to the lake.  Stylish marquees can also be sited here, raising the overall capacity for dinners and dancing.
Gardens
Clients hiring Chiswick House can enjoy the use of its formal Italianate gardens. The grounds are a mixture of ancient and modern styles, graced with classical busts, sphinxes and columns, shaded by the giant bowers of cedar trees.  The mature trees, classical urns and sweeping wide lawns offer scenic locations for photographs.  With additional lighting, the cool serenity of the gardens can be extended late into the evening.
