How Kenyan Arsenal fans can stage weddings at the Emirates Stadium
By Joel Masibo, August 12, 2026The long-term bromance between Kenyan Arsenal fans and the reigning English Premier League champions could get to the next level as the Gunners have opened the doors of the Emirates Stadium to couples looking for a wedding venue that combines football heritage with luxury and modern elegance.
The Premier League club is promoting the north London stadium as a distinctive location for weddings, giving couples the opportunity to celebrate their special day at the home of Arsenal.
According to the club, Emirates Stadium offers a range of bespoke wedding packages, carefully selected menus and access to some of the venue’s iconic areas.
“Emirates Stadium offers a unique wedding venue in North London, blending sporting history with modern elegance,” Arsenal said in its events offering.
The club says couples can choose from different spaces depending on whether they are planning a wedding reception, ceremony or both.
Arsenal and the Kenyan connection
In late May 2026, Arsenal co-chairman Josh Kroenke applauded the massive backing the club enjoys in Kenya following their recent Premier League triumph.
The North London side finally ended a 22-year wait for the English league crown, sparking jubilant celebrations among supporters across the globe, with Kenya emerging as one of the standout countries in the festivities.
Thousands of jubilant fans flooded major streets, especially along Thika Road and the Nairobi Central Business District, after Manchester City dropped points against AFC Bournemouth, a result that officially handed Arsenal the title with a game remaining.
Scenes of excitement from Kenya quickly spread internationally, attracting attention from major sports broadcasters and football platforms worldwide.
On Wednesday, May 27, 2027, Kenyan Gunners gathered at the National Archives in Nairobi City centre for a trophy parade.
Arsenal offers multiple wedding packages
For receptions, Arsenal is offering couples a choice between the Avenell Club and Diamond Club. Both venues provide views of the pitch while offering what the club describes as high-quality service and a memorable setting.
Couples planning both their ceremony and wedding breakfast can instead select from the Woolwich, Diamond Club or Directors Lounge.
The club says these spaces are designed to provide an elegant backdrop while retaining the football atmosphere associated with Emirates Stadium.
Emirates Stadium caters for large Asian weddings
Arsenal is also targeting couples planning larger Asian wedding celebrations, with the stadium capable of accommodating up to 450 guests.
The club works with two approved catering companies for Asian weddings and encourages prospective clients to contact its Events team to discuss their requirements.
The offering provides Arsenal supporters with an opportunity to incorporate their connection to the club into one of the biggest celebrations of their lives.
How to book a wedding at Emirates Stadium
Interested couples can submit an enquiry through Arsenal’s Meetings and Events department or contact the club’s Events team directly.
The enquiry process allows couples to indicate whether they want a full wedding ceremony and reception or a reception-only package, as well as provide details about their planned event.
Arsenal’s wedding offering further expands the use of Emirates Stadium beyond football, positioning the iconic north London venue as a destination for private celebrations and major events.
