Choosing a castle wedding venue
Castle venues range from intimate historic houses to grand estates and full castle hotels, so start with your guest numbers and whether you want exclusive use of the whole property. Many castles sit in their own grounds, which makes for spectacular photographs but can mean guests travel further, so plan accommodation and transport.
Ask what is included, how many bedrooms are on site, whether ceremonies can be held in the grounds, and what the exclusive-use options are.
