About
Setting

Asylum Chapel is a Grade II listed building built in 1826 by the Licensed Victualers Benevolent Institution for use by the residents of Caroline Gardens. The Chapel is 2 minutes away from Queens Road Peckham Station which has a train 10 minutes away from London Bridge Station. Asylum’s Chapel is licensed by Southwark Council for weddings and civil ceremonies.

Vibe

Bombed in WWII, the present use of the chapel is as a flexible project space.

The venue has three Wedding Coordinators who can guide you through the logistics of using this ‘dry hire’ space. Asylum does have a select list of Caterers that they personally recommend for their originality and excellent service, however you are free to use your own suppliers for the occasion. They just need to be approved by the Asylum team! Capacity is for 120 and dressed with candles, flowers and festoon lighting, this romantic chapel is really quite special for your London ceremony.

If you love this space then you need to be quick, Asylum books up in advance so plan ahead folks!

I can’t say thank you enough to you and all the Asylum staff for such a brilliant day for our wedding. Everything went exactly how we expected it to, if not better, and we felt like we were in very capable hands. Actually, I have no idea what happened, as it all just happened, if you see what I mean, which is exactly what you want as a bride! We had so many comments from guests about what a brilliant venue it is, of course we already knew that but it was nice to see it through the eyes of people who’d never seen it before. We can’t wait to get the photos back and live it all over again! Thanks for everything, we had the most brilliant day which we’ll remember forever.

Anne & Josh

We just wanted to finally get in touch and say thanks so much for your efforts on our big day. It was just as we had imagined and I can honestly say everyone was stunned by both venues. The swift and positive responses to any queries over the eight months beforehand were a huge help, as were the efforts of Liza, Victoria and everyone on site on the day itself. We’ve been recommending you to everyone we’ve shown our photos – albeit most of them are in Melbourne. Still, you never know!

Katy & Jamie

The Asylum Chapel at Caroline Gardens was the perfect wedding venue for us. It held a good number of people, was affordable, but most importantly, it was unique and different. So many of our guests commented on what an atmospheric and inspiring venue it was. The fact that we were able to decorate it ourselves, and choose our own caterers, meant we could really bring our own personality to our wedding, which so many venues don’t allow you to do. I would recommend any couple getting married at the Asylum to arrange a day coordinator. Tamar helped us with final arrangements in the week leading up to the wedding, and seemed to be absolutely everywhere on the day. She ensured the day ran super smoothly, was very organised, and was generally worth her weight in gold.

Amy & Adam

I just wanted to email you to say a very, very BIG THANK YOU to you and all the staff at Peckham Asylum Chapel. You and all your staff did an absolutely splendid job on making Conor & Will’s wedding go without a hitch. I have had lots of comments about the Chapel, my 92 year old mother described the Chapel and service as enchanting. I can’t think of a better word to describe your venue. It was very, very special and more, the guests were over awed and their reaction to the Chapel lent an air of wonder and magic and this added to the sense of joy and love for Conor & Will as they walked down the aisle.

Fiona

We and all our friends and family were blown away by you and everyone at the Asylum on our wedding day. The whole day went perfectly and we loved every second of it. We couldn’t believe how beautiful the room looked and how smoothly the turnaround from the ceremony to the dinner set-up was. We’re both really grateful to you for working so hard on the day, getting everything ready for the caterers and ensuring the decorations were perfect, and making sure the day ran to plan, especially when we had both had too much to drink to really know what was going on any more! We also hugely appreciate how much you helped us in the run-up to the day, in terms of planning everything so carefully and in answering our many questions.

FAQs
How do the morning and afternoon slots work for ceremonies?

The chairs, candles and lights will be set up for you for both slots. You are welcome to add flowers/extra lights etc. but bear in mind these have to be put up/taken down in an hour. The hour between slots will be spent cleaning and resetting by Asylum staff. In the past couples have shared flowers for ceremonies on the same day which has worked really well.

How do I find out what dates are free?

You can view our online calendar on the How to Book page of our website, or email us at weddings@maverickprojects.co.uk to check availability.

Who do I contact regarding a registrar for the day?

Please contact Southwark Registrar if you need to be legally married – this is a separate cost from the hire of Asylum and we would not organise on your behalf.

Who is the wedding coordinator and when do we meet?

If you have booked this service we will send you a form via email that will ask for all the details of your day and introduce you to your coordinator. Feel free to add in more info if you think it is important (the more info the better). Once completed send this back to your coordinator and they will arrange to meet with you. It is best to arrange to meet once you have as many of the details your day confirmed!

How do I book?

You should only book once you have a confirmation email from us that the date you want is free. Then use our online booking form, this is found on the how to book page. Items like the number of chairs can be altered nearer the date.
