We understand the need for privacy and so we only ever hire out the Castle on an exclusive-hire basis. This allows you and your special guests to enjoy the grand venue and its magnificent views, with no interruption and total exclusivity. Eastnor Castle is licensed for Civil Wedding Ceremonies, or there is a quintessential countryside church just a short walk away in the village of Eastnor. Your Wedding Breakfast and Evening Wedding Reception will be staged inside the Castle itself, as you relax and enjoy the opulence of the sumptuous surroundings. This also means that should the weather be unkind, the memories of your day can be captured within the walls of the beautiful fairytale Castle. However, the sun often shines at Eastnor Castle and when it does, you and your guests can enjoy a drinks reception on the Upper Terrace, overlooking the sparkling lake in all of its elegance. And so to bed… we have overnight accommodation for the bride and groom, and their close families and friends, in 12 bedrooms, each with their own unique sense of decor and character.

Incredible venue and the staff went above and beyond

I don't see how any venue could be better than Eastnor Castle! The castle is beautiful and every picture taken was beautiful. The food was delicious and the staff were extremely helpful. Whilst wedding planning, they kept on top of everything and made sure that the day ran smoothly. Would highly recommend getting married here! Shout out to Hayley - she's a star!

We had a beyond brilliant day

Thank you so much! We had a beyond brilliant day. We’d like to say a big thank you to you and the whole team for running the day so seamlessly. We really didn’t have to worry about a thing and have had quite a few people tell us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Thanks again for making the day so wonderful and for being so helpful in the run up and with the postponement etc. We really do hope to come back soon!

The staff were very helpful

It was a wonderful wedding in a perfect location. The staff were very helpful. Sorry, forgotten the names of the two main people who looked after us, but they were great and made sure the whole process ran smoothly. It was very much appreciated. The food was amazing too. Thank you for all you did over the last 6 months, helping to make this day a very happy occasion for us all.

The food was excellent

We visited this castle for a family wedding. It is set within extensive grounds and you arrive at the main entrance by a long winding drive. Inside reception rooms are decorated is a period style with tapestries and many oil paintings on the walls. The wedding was held in the main hall which was later cleared and reset for the banquet. The food was excellent and the staff were very helpful. There is also a bar facility. Bedrooms are available as well which we understand from others were very nice. There are also houses on the estate which can be rented. Immediately outside the main entrance is a large carpark for guests.

The staff were kind, thoughtful and very attentive

This is just a little note to say an enormous 'thank you' for all that you and your amazing staff undertook to make Abbey & Ollie's wedding day so special. Everybody - without fail - had a wonderful day. Despite the restrictions of Covid, the rain and of course all the changes in regulations leading up to 3rd October, we wouldn't change a thing! The castle was stunning - warm and inviting - and the staff were kind, thoughtful and very attentive.

One of the best days of our lives

Eastnor Castle was the venue for our daughter's wedding on 3rd October 2020. Despite the rain and the Covid-19 restrictions this was one of the best days of our lives. Having attended the wonderful Marriage Service at St John the Baptist Church, Eastnor we arrived at the Castle for the reception. The staff made us extremely welcome, the rooms were immaculately laid out and the whole Castle was lovely and warm. Two roaring log fires greeted us as we arrived and lasted the whole afternoon and evening. The food was absolutely delicious - beautifully presented and nice and hot - and the staff were always very helpful and attentive. After the reception, we retired to our rooms which were all very different in design but equally warm and comfortable. A good night's sleep was had by all. We had breakfast the following morning and again the choice was excellent - there was something for everyone. If you are looking for a wedding venue - Eastnor Castle is absolutely stunning, you simply must take a look. We cannot recommend it highly enough.
