FAQs

To learn more about the venue, booking and how we work, take a look at some of our frequently asked questions below. If you have something specific you'd like to ask us that we've not covered here, feel free to drop us a line at hello@maverickprojects.co.uk

  • Up to 120 people.

  • Asylum Chapel prices vary per function and package. Please contact our organisers for a tailored quote at hello@maverickprojects.co.uk today.

  • The chapel has 120 chairs available and six tables (68.5cm x 182cm x 70cm high) included, as well as lighting and heating, and our wedding packages also include romantic candle decoration. Uplighters and speakers can be hired directly through us.

  • All of the above! Asylum Chapel is super flexible, meaning you can really tailor the space to make it your own.

  • The main space is approximately 14m x 11m. See the Chapel Floorplan for full detailed dimensions.

  • The chapel has two toilets and 10 electricity sockets with a single phase 32 amp plug. There’s no kitchen but we do have a list of recommended suppliers for refreshments and catering should that fall within your requirements. See the Chapel Floorplan for detailed information.

  • There is no parking on the estate but there’s on street parking conveniently close by on Asylum Road. Please purchase a ticket via the metre bays located on Asylum Road. Find out more here: Southwark Council.

  • Asylum Chapel’s entrances are both step access, but we do have movable wheelchair ramps for easy access at the back doors. Unfortunately, the location does not have accessible toilets. Please contact us for more details or to arrange access assistance: hello@maverickprojects.co.uk

  • Yes! 😌 If you'd like to bring your own drinks there's a charge of £150, this includes 2 members of staff to set the table, serve and clear everything up. Please hire your own glassware, table linen and ice.

    If your guest list is between 100 and 120, you will require an additional member of staff onsite which costs £58 *rate correct as of May 2024. Please note this is subject to change.

  • We no longer allow the bar to be set up on the portico steps. We find that photographically it makes much more sense when the front of the chapel is clear. This also leaves more space for guests to mingle on the steps. Additionally, if you have booked live musicians to play inside, it means that guests can still appreciate the music while getting a drink from the bar.

  • Background and acoustic music are welcomed at the venue, but with some restrictions. All music must be set up inside the main space (this does not include the portico steps or hallway).

    We have a speaker (VONYX VSA150S bluetooth) onsite you can connect to via an aux connection for background music.

    Please note that we do not allow brass instruments, saxophones, amplified music, or bagpipes. Before booking musicians, please get in touch with us directly to double-check that your planned music complies with our guidelines.

  • We have worked with a number of local partners to help plan and bring your day together, including florists and caterers for your ceremony and reception needs. Please visit our Partners Page for more information and contacts.

  • Yes, you can have confetti outside on the front steps. Please note, we only allow real flower petals. This doesn't include biodegradable confetti such as paper confetti. Please get in touch with our preferred partners.

  • It takes approx 15 seconds.

Reviews

“We had the most brilliant day which we’ll remember forever. Everything went exactly how we wanted it to, if not better, and we felt like we were in very capable hands. 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 that through the eyes of people who’d never seen it before.”

Anne and Josh

“Doug and I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for all your help with our ceremony. It was everything we had been dreaming about for 2 years and we're so thankful. You were fantastic to chat to on the phone - you made us feel so assured and so excited at the same time.”

Becky & Doug

“A very, very BIG THANK YOU to you and all the staff at Peckham Asylum 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”

“I have lived in SE London for years and never new this beautiful place existed. It's a stunning wedding venue absolutely loved it. Even if it was a bit chilly in December. I love the texture of the walls it feels like you are stepping into somewhere magical.”

Bim Bubitt

“We got married here 2 weeks ago and couldn’t have had a more perfect day!! The venue is beautiful and allows you to add your own personal touch. The ceremony was lovely and we had some photos inside and out afterwards. Perfect!”

Ellen Burrage

“As an alternative London wedding photographer, I am always on the lookout for unique, quirky and full of character places to recommend to my couples. The Asylum Chapel is atmospheric and romantic, a real beauty with a core historical past, so full of charm. Distressed space with a bold personality, definitely any photographer's dream location.”

Paola De Paola

“Filming at the Asylum Chapel - even during the misery of the virus lockdown - was a pleasure, and made much easier by the film-friendly staff looking after us. A wonderful location.”

Jamie Lindsay, Location Manager

“For a wedding it is the most magical place. And for a photoshoot simply stunning. The team at Maverick Projects are so helpful and I was so grateful for their friendly manner. I totally  love this location and the staff.  I simply cannot recommend it highly enough. It is a magical place.”
