Blown away

What an incredible venue and day! The Warwick Castle team were fantastic from start to finish. They were so attentive and knowledgeable and made planning stress free. The day was made extra special by their little touches and optional enhancements. Our guests were blown away and were in awe throughout the day. We couldn't recommend the castle more highly! You HAVE to choose this as your venue, you will not be disappointed!

Don’t look any further!

From the moment we saw what Warwick Castle had to offer to make our wedding special, that was the end of our search. The attentiveness from booking the venue right through to the big day, colleagues were on hand to attend to our every need. Don’t look any further!

Surreal and magical

There is no better place to hold a wedding than at a Castle, with Warwick Castle being one of the best, truly surreal and most-magical in the country. Supported by an exceptional team of co-ordinators, planners, chefs and entertainers, every part of our evening exceeded our already-high expectations, with knights that came to life, cake-cutting swords, and even an overnight stay drinking champagne in the Castle towers.

Absolutely blown away

Where do we even begin? A wedding is not just about the wedding day, it’s the whole process, it’s an experience! We were absolutely blown away by every single member of the Warwick Castle Weddings team, from day one right up until our actual wedding day. The whole planning process was unbelievably smooth, the team were so patient, so helpful and so consistent. They went above and beyond. They made our dreams come through. We are just so sad we can’t do it all over again! Thank you for everything

Absolute dream

We really couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue and a more perfect team to help us organise our wedding. Our wedding was an absolute dream that I wish we could relive again and again. We cannot recommend the castle or it's amazing team enough.

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Warwick Castle?

A fantastic couple hosted a Harry Potter wedding in our Great Hall! They had planned their day meticulously and the amount of detail was very impressive, they had thought of everything. Each guest had a personalised wand instead of a place card, and the table plan was a huge Marauders map, the list goes on! They even had a banquet style wedding breakfast, with long tables in each house colour.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Your wedding is about you as a couple! Don't feel you need to compromise on what you want to make your guests happy, they'll be delighted to be a part of your day regardless!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

The groom had his new step-son help make and decorate their wedding cake, without telling him what it was for!
