Hever Castle

If you’re looking for a stunning location for your wedding day there are few places with a better heritage than Hever Castle. Founded in 1270, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn and restored by the American millionaire William Astor in 1903, the castle is the perfect combination of grandeur and intimacy. Something special. Something unique. During summer months you’ll have exclusive use of The Astor Wing, including 21 luxurious bedroom suites, outdoor heated swimming pool, tennis court and croquet lawn as well as access to the 38 acres of breathtaking gardens and lake. In the winter months the main castle is open to ceremonies and receptions, giving a range of beautiful settings for all seasons and some truly amazing photo opportunities.

Hever Castle is pleased to announce a stunning new location for wedding ceremonies and receptions. Summer months will see the Award Winning Italian Gardens come to life as ceremonies for up to 120 guests take place under the beautiful arched columns of the Italian Loggia overlooking the 38 acre lake. This magical lakeside location can also be extended to your drinks reception where guests can take in the views from the stone piazza complete with our very own inspired Trevi fountain. A short walk away is the Guthrie Pavilion. Extensively refurbished in Palladian style, the vaulted ceilings and full length arched windows make for a light and airy atmosphere from day into night without losing the romantic backdrop of the lake and gardens. With a maximum capacity of 200 seated guests and license till 1.00am, the Guthrie Pavilion is available for wedding receptions and disco’s (or live bands) all year round.
