Hedingham Castle

Come and see our beautiful and unique venue dressed for a wedding

Wedding Open Day - Sunday 26th February 2012, 11am - 4pm

Hedingham Castle has entertained some of the country’s most illustrious monarchs, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.  For the last eight years it has continued its tradition of fine hospitality and entertainment as one of the county’s foremost wedding venues.

The Castle Keep, standing 110 feet high, was built in 1140 by the de Veres, Earls of Oxford. The Georgian house was built in 1720 and it is a house in which to entertain and be entertained, combining luxury and splendour with intimacy and elegance.

Ceremonies take place by candle light in the magnificent and romantic Banqueting Hall of the Keep. From the ceremony guests make their way to the Georgian House, and if the weather is fine enjoy a Champagne reception on the beautiful terrace overlooking the lake or for winter weddings stay inside the magnificent Hall sipping mulled wine in front of the open fire. For more intimate weddings of up to 50 parties can dine in the silk lined Ashurst dining room.  For for larger parties of up to 200 guests move into the lined marquee on the private Tulip lawn.

      Dear Nichola & Team, we wanted to say thank you for all the help and support you gave us on both our wedding day and in the months leading up to it, you were all amazing! Our guests all had a fantastic day and couldn't get over what a beautiful and romantic venue Hedingham Castle is.

      We are not sure if it will be possible to adequately express how pleased we were with every single part of our wedding day. You were fantastic to work with throughout the process, the Castle, House and marquee looked stunning, the rooms getting ready beforehand were lovely. The food delicious, the music perfect, the service to all of our guests was impeccable.We have been inundated with thank you notes from our guests and we have you and the entire Hedingham staff to thank. We would not have changed one moment of that day.

      Fantastic Day! We looked at many wedding venues, no where locally compares to Hedingham, we definately made the right choice. Service, food & staff were all amazing. Nichola a true asset,it takes a lot of experience to make everything run so smoothly but look so easy! Many thanks to everyone involved for making it such a perfect and special day.

      A big "Thank you" for all the support you gave us on our wedding day. You were so attentive and thoughtful, the day ran so perfectly and smoothly which we are sure was down to Nichola.

      We had a perfect day and cannot thank the staff enough for all their hard work. Being able to get ready on site and not having to worry about anything was a major plus point.

      We could not have asked for a better venue and all of the staff we worked with demonstrated exceptional professionalism and gave us the support and guidance we needed. Prior to booked we received excellent detailed information giving a clear outline of what services they had to offer. Planning meetings were informative and the team made us feel relaxed and cared for. An enormous thank you to Lauren who helped make the day as special and relaxed as possibel. She helped to make our day everything and more we could have asked for.

      Everything about our wedding was magical from start to finish. Lauren was a fantastic coordinator - approachable, friendly and helpful and made our day one to remember.

      Our daughter Katie and her fiance Ally were married at this glorious home recently. The whole day was fantastic and ran smoothly with even the sun shining on us! The wedding breakfast was superb and enjoyed by all and the staff must be commended for both their professionalism and friendliness. The most outstanding feature of both the many months of preparation and then the actual day was the absolute fantastic organisational abilities displayed by Nichola Collinson, without whom the wedding would not have been such a splendid day. Hedingham enabled our extended families and friends to have a day we shall all remember with happiness and fond memories.

      We had the most amazing day. Everything ran so smoothly and Lauren was so calming. The food was yummy and the staff so helpful. We had such a beautiful day and could not have been so relaxed if it wasnt for the team of efficient staff.

      We absolutely fell in love with the castle the minute we saw it and the marquee is absolutely stunning. Massive thanks to Lauren who was amazing from day one. Everyone was brilliant and we had so many compliments about the food and service. Everyone also loved the gardens. It was our dream wedding.
