Berkeley Castle

Thank you so much for all your help & support on the lead up and the day of our wedding. Your enthusiasm and patience whilst we asked countless questions was greatly appreciated. We were overjoyed with how the day went and have now received our wonderful photos so we can look in awe again at the magnificent backdrop of Berkeley Castle. Thank you for making it all possible.

We had the most incredible honeymoon and couldn’t stop talking about the most special weekend of our lives at Berkeley. Thank you so much for everything, from day one you were one of the main reasons we chose the castle. You put our minds at ease and we had total confidence the wedding would be calm and happy in your hands. It beat our expectations by miles. We still cannot believe how relaxing and stress free the day was. The suppliers were all insanely good and the venue looked unbelievable.

We always wanted to get married in a castle, but we got so much more with Berkeley. A weekend filled with love, happiness and fun! The roaring fires, grand piano, historic tour for our guests, the cottages all weekend were like a home away from home, a dedicated supplier list who know and love the castle, and the best food our guests have ever experienced at a wedding from Napier catering! The team at the castle care, they show kindness and professionalism in all the support they offer. And a Special shout out to Pippa who was the discreet puppeteer behind the success of our wedding! Her expertise, calm attitude and HUGE smile throughout our year of planning and during the day has been an absolute pleasure and one of our main reasons for booking in the first place. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Berkeley castle is a truly fantastic venue, run by incredible people who are passionate and great at what they do. Bring that all together and the wedding of your dreams can be realised. That’s the experience we had which we’re incredibly grateful for!

Berkeley castle was just everything a wedding could ever wish for. Pippa was absolutely incredible from start to finish, everything on the day was seamless. Every angle at the castle is so picturesque! We had our reception drinks by the lily pond looking up at the castle finishing with an 80’s band in the evening. My dream came true in June 22! (1 year later than planned!)

Berkeley is a small town located between Bristol and Gloucester, in the English county of Gloucestershire on the edge of the Cotswolds. The historical town has existed in the Vale of Berkeley for over 9 centuries, as long as its main tourist attraction, Berkeley Castle. Our wedding was the best day of our lives. We had more than 120 guests from around the world coming to Berkeley Castle to celebrate this once in a lifetime event. Thank you so much to our fairytale godmother Pippa and the Berkley Castle team who ensured the bride and groom could focus on the celebration and having fun. We enjoyed every minute of the day, as all the details behind the scenes, communication with excellent vendors who regularly work at Berkeley and proactive planning were handled seamlessly. Guests took a tour before they moved to the Great Hall for the wedding breakfast. The castle is rich with history, everyone from King Henry VIII to Shakespeare. And how could you not uncover the story behind the murder of King Edward II? In the Great Hall, the guests were treated better than kings and queens of yesteryear and the room is absolutely breathtaking. Movie stars have filmed dramatic scenes in the same place. It transforms into a stunning place to party in the evening. Guests continue to say (8 months later) 'that was the best wedding we've ever been to!' If you’re wondering if hiring a Berkley Castle is worth the investment, a 1000 times yes!

Whilst our wedding has not yet taken place (it is planned for Winter 2020), we could not be happier with how we have been supported by Pippa and her team at Berkeley Castle throughout the pandemic. We have had regular catch-ups by Zoom, have been given priority over a ‘reserve’ date in 2021 in case we do not wish to go ahead this year due to restrictions and could not have asked for more in terms of support. The Castle itself is such a beautiful venue and we cannot wait to get married there.

One massive thank you to you all. You were all incredible and I am so grateful. From the moment we met you all last summer, you instilled confidence and professionalism on all matters of the wedding and you’ve all been a pleasure to work with. You all made the wedding go beautifully and I’ll never forget that. Doug and I had the best time - literally the best day of our lives. Pippa, you and your team were so brilliant and thank you for thinking of everything. Blew me away with your thoroughness and the day flowed perfectly thanks to you. Phil+Kathryn, the food was amazing and everyone said so. The canapés were delicious and the meal itself was perfect. Absolutely delicious. I think food is such a memorable aspect from a wedding, so a massive thank you. Could not falt it. Plus all your staff were brilliant. So polite, friendly and happy to help anyone. Please thank them all from us. Doug is very grateful to one of the waiters who looked after him with water and drinks before guests arrived in the great hall. You’ve made our wedding day just perfect in every way possible and we are eternally grateful. You are all superstars and all the guests said so! We’ve had so many comments of it being the best wedding they’ve been to. And it’s down to you all. So a huge thank you and I’ll be singing your praises to anyone who asks about weddings at Berkeley castle!

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for everything yesterday, it was absolutely perfect and we couldn't have hoped for a more magical day. You (and your team) must have worked so hard yesterday and yet it felt so smooth and calm - we are so grateful for everything. The venue, Brook House, Blossom cottage it was all absolutely perfect.

Before we go away on our honeymoon we just wanted to say we had the most incredible day and all our guests couldn't get over how beautiful the Castle was. The Castle will always hold a special place in our hearts!
