Your wedding in the Millennium Seed Bank

The world renowned Millennium Seed Bank provides a modern and architecturally striking setting for standing wedding receptions and parties.

The Millennium Seed Bank is a hub for cutting edge science and is the most bio-diverse spot on the planet. This world-famous glass building offers a contemporary feel for your wedding.

Begin by serving drinks among the parterres and pond or inside the glass atrium. For something more informal, enjoy a barbeque or outdoor food stalls. Alternatively, you can have a marquee or tipi at the rear of the building for a formal dining experience.
