Hedingham Castle

My partner & I got married here 7th September 2024. From start to finish, the entire process was made seamless by the amazing team at Hedingham. Sarah & her team work tirelessly to help you bring your wedding ideas & dreams to fruition and I genuinely cannot recommend the venue enough. Any & all requests, no matter how trivial were undertaken with immense attention to detail & professionalism. Our guests were truly taken aback at the sheer beauty & uniqueness of the venue and have commented on multiple occasions as to just how amazing the entire day was - this would not have been possible without the wonderful team. Hedingham's trusted partnership suppliers are also wonderful (Lewis Cabuche, Limeberry to name a couple) and are very reasonably priced. I urge you to book this wonderful place for your special day if you are considering it - you will not regret it. Alice & Charlie

We celebrated our mid week wedding at Hedingham castle, and I don’t think words can do justice to how beautiful and perfect this venue is. Not only that the team at Hedingham are absolutely amazing, the day ran perfectly and I didn’t have to worry about timings or where people should be and when as they had it all under control at every moment. From booking our day with hedingham to the days following the communication with the team has been perfect. They made sure I didn’t have to worry about anything and helped with anything they could. Our planning meetings were extremely helpful and didn’t feel rushed even with all my anxious questions! I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you thank you thank you!! 🖤

Hedingham Castle was the most beautiful and unique wedding venue. I fell in love with it as soon as we visited. The castle itself and the grounds are stunning. Our ceremony was lit by candles and it was just beautiful. We had our whole day in the castle. The food was incredible and the service was fantastic. We have had so many compliments on the venue from our guests and we had the perfect day. The staff are brilliant, and Sarah Pether at the castle was just fantastic from day one and so responsive. Nothing was too much of an ask and she was incredibly helpful. She always did her best to make everything we wanted happen! I am so pleased we decided to have our wedding here. An unforgettable day that was unique with a gothic vibe. Thank you so much for the best day. It was exactly what we wanted.

Just had my wedding here (August 20, 2024) and will truly never forget this day. Sarah was AMAZING from day one of emailing all the way till the wedding and even after! Planning a wedding from Florida you’d think this would be challenging but not at all when you have amazing communication! Anything I asked she replied instantly and answered every crazy question I had!! She is so fun, bubbly and so organized!! Debi was my day of coordinator and she was just as amazing! Anything I asked, or my guests, she made happen without hesitation! My guests cannot stop talking about how stunning the castle is and how perfect the grounds looked and how helpful the team was! She was on top of everything and made sure the day ran so smooth! Truly cannot thank Sarah, Debi, and the whole team at Hedingham castle for making this possible and the most perfect day ever. It was better than Austin and I could have truly imagined and that’s because of you guys!!!

We had our Wedding at Hedingham Castle in June 2024, the Castle and its grounds are absolutely stunning and couldn’t have been better for our Wedding day. All of our wedding guests were blown away by the grounds, the staff and the day as a whole - it was absolutely perfect and couldn’t have gone any better. The staff from start to finish could not have been more helpful, they provided all information up front and were always quick to respond to any questions and queries we had. We had the most beautiful day which ran so smoothly from start to finish with thanks to the whole team at Hedingham. I would recommend Hedingham Castle as Wedding venue to anyone, it was an absolute dream!!

We got married at Hedingham Castle in June 2024. It was absolutely perfect. The venue is stunning, not only did we use the 900 year old castle for our candlelit ceremony we were able to have our drinks reception in the beautiful Georgian house and then our reception in the elegant marquee. Every aspect of the planning process was seamless. The Hedingham team were efficient, professional and super friendly. The day itself was outstanding. I could never have dreamt of a more organised and attentive team. Everything was done before we could even think about it. We had the most magical day and we will forever be grateful for everyone at Hedingham.

Thank you for the most fabulous wedding weekend! We could not have imagined anything more perfect. The entire staff and all services were over the top incredible. We are both speechless. Our guests could not give better praise to the venue and staff. I feel like we are now family! Thank you again for the most amazing, perfect, genuinely beautiful and stress free wedding weekend.

There aren't words to describe the incredible place that is Hedingham Castle. I first came to an open day 2 years before our wedding and as I stepped out of the car and saw the venue and heard the bagpipers playing I was blown away - we had a look at some other venues but nothing quite compares to Hedingham! We had an initial planning meeting which gave us all the information we needed and then another one or two before the day - we always came away feeling so excited and not at all overwhelmed. The venue is incredible - you can really see how much work goes in to maintaining it and how much the team there care about it. The castle itself is so beautiful and well kept but without taking attention from the novelty of it, on the day we decided to decorate it minimally as it really doesn't need any dressing up. Having our ceremony in there was such a dream. We also had the tea rooms in there open before the ceremony which offered a unique experience for guests and gave them the chance to be inside the castle more and mingle before heading upstairs for the ceremony. We were lucky on the day with the weather so we could use the gardens as well as the manor house for the drinks reception - everything is just gorgeous. The marquee for dinner is again so impressive - they managed to pack our large wedding in, and yet at no point did anything feel cramped. The dancefloor is a perfect size and curtained off while you eat, which makes it feel a bit more special when the time comes for the first dance. Everyone was very impressed with the chandeliers that are from Casino Royale as well! There's endless photo locations on site which also means you can slip away for some pictures just the two of you which is a lovely touch. We were able to book the lodge and cottage for the night before the wedding as well as the night of, and with a large family it worked out perfectly. Both are so spacious and gives you the perfect space to get ready. In the cottage there is a prep room which we used to hang dresses and get changed, and the downstairs bedroom was where we had hair and make up being done. The week of the wedding we were also able to drop everything up that we would need - again this really helped us. We were lucky enough to have the ceremony set up exactly how we wanted also by the team there. On to the team there - we cannot thank them enough. They all work so hard to make sure your day goes smoothly, from having someone with you in the cottage to look after you while you get ready, to people helping with my dress and veil going up the stairs and down the aisle, to someone making sure you get driven back to the cottage at the end of the day. I want to say a thank you to Sarah, she was so helpful throughout the whole process and always there to answer any questions I had, we couldn't have done the day without her! I also want to mention Jackie who was our coordinator on the day - what an amazing support she was and nothing was too much for her. At no point did I not know what was going on or going to happen next. Even when it was time for her to go she made sure we knew who our next point of contact would be. The communication from the whole team is fantastic and they do an amazing job of making sure you know what's going to happen next. I doubt there is a more hardworking and lovely team anywhere! The day flies by but they do an amazing job of making sure it runs smoothly and that you have time to take it all in and just enjoy it. During dinner we were given a card congratulating us by the venue, such a thoughtful thing for them to do! Another little touch which was so appreciated was getting back to the cottage to find it had been tidied up and there were cups and saucers laid out by the kettle for us. The day after the wedding we all went for breakfast at Moot House and while there, one of the team brought over a suit that had been forgotten in the lodge - they are just so thoughtful. Suppliers we used that were recommended - luckily we attended a few open days and got to meet them. We have done separate reviews for Lewis (photographer) and Splinters (caterers) but just wanted to say how amazing they were. We've had so many compliments on the pictures and also so many people mention how much they loved the food. Definetely go along to open days and evenings also as you get a feel for the location and a chance to view it all. We also booked their in house DJ Jethro Baker - he was amazng, played so many songs we asked for and kept people on the dancefloor for the whole night. A special mention also to the bagpipers - from the moment I heard them two years before the wedding I booked them straight away, they were one of our favourite things from the day and were unforgettable. I would recommend them to everyone - if you want them involved then Dick Camp is the person to get in contact with. They were so incredible and even played some songs that we had requested off their normal set list. We love watching back the videos of them and again so many people were blown away by them. We have had so many comments on the day and since from our guests who had nothing but good things to say about the venue. Thank you so much Hedingham for giving us the most perfect and special day - it was better than we dreamed it would be x

The Venue was absolutely magical. The staff were the so kind and so professional. They did everything they could to make the day as stress free as possible. My sister had the wedding of her dreams. I can’t thank the team at Headingham enough for everything they did.

We got married here. It is possibly the most romantic setting you could wish for. The Kings bedchamber can be hired for the wedding night, which is honestly the most perfectly romantic room. The staff were professional, attentive, and never intrusive, and I don't think they could have done any more to make our day absolutely perfect. When you consider the cost, balanced against the facilities, the service, and the setting, it's a very well priced option.
