    The most beautiful and fairytale day 🤍

    It really was the most beautiful day we could’ve ever dreamed of!

    The team at Rowton were fantastic. From the first day we came to view the venue, to the morning after our wedding we were always met with smiles hugs and an offer of a glass of champagne or cup of tea.

    The run-up to the day was great with plenty of meetings and check-in emails with the team including the first planning appointment about three months before the day. Here we spent a couple of hours going over the final details and they were amazing at flagging anything that hadn’t even come to our attention yet!

    The night before the wedding was fantastic in the bridal suite with my family. The team made sure that I as a lactose intolerant bride, had plenty to eat for breakfast and milk for a cup of tea in the morning.

    During the day everything went completely without a hitch. And if anything did go wrong, they were quick enough to do it without worrying me or the groom! Which is just what you want at your dream venue.

    We were blessed with lovely weather which meant we got to have photos in the glorious gardens. Our ceremony was outside and everyone commented how wonderful the entire day was from start to finish.

    The one thing that everyone keeps commenting to me about the wedding though is their pizzas! If you are even thinking about having the pizzas for evening food, please do it is the most commented on part of the wedding after my dress 🤣

    I could not recommend Rowton more to anyone looking to get married whether you have 10 people or 150 people, it really was the best day of our lives!

    We will definitely be going back for dinner’s, and anniversary stay and hopefully a time we can try their pizzas again!

    The most perfect wedding venue

    We cannot thank the staff at Rowton Castle enough!

    Firstly, this venue is stunning. The grounds are very well kept and the castle well decorated. The little touches make the venue so special.

    From the first look around appointment we were listened to and all requests were granted.

    The behind the scenes staff (Gemma, Corryn and Chloe) could not do enough for us in the lead up to the wedding. Thank you all!

    On the wedding day itself Gareth and Ralph did a fantastic job to make sure the day ran without any problems. Gareth made sure we had drinks and canopy’s whilst we had our photos, speeches ran on time and throughout they were professional and friendly.

    The venue and staff was able to cater to guests with disability very well. The food was delicious and all our guests have come away saying what an incredible venue!

    Thank you all for making our day so special!

    Great service!

    We had our wedding at Rowton recently and it was amazing! The staff were all very friendly and accommodating, both on the day and in the planning stages. The venue itself is lovely and it shows Rowton look after it well. Food was amazing. We had lots of nice comments from guests about the venue.

    Fairytale Wedding

    Rowton is not Rowton without the people at the heart of it, I do not say it lightly when I say from the initial booking with Johan to the planning with Elise & Corryn to the actual hosting of the day with Lewis and Lucy, there was no stone left unturned.

    Lewis, we want to say a special thank you to you because although you have been in the game for 20 years, there is no level of complacency or emotional disconnect. He so clearly feels every emotion with you and it’s so heartwarming that someone who does this regularly hasn’t become desensitised from it

    We honestly owe you all our biggest gratitude and send all our love your way for making it such a special and memorable day

    They say planning a wedding in 5 months is crazy but with the Rowton team, it felt like we’d been planning for years. They really are professionals on their field ❤️

    Everything we wanted.

    The team at Rowton were fantastic from start to finish. Nothing was too much and the day ran exactly as we wanted. It was so relaxed. The food was fantastic for the wedding breakfast. Mouth watering and cooked to perfection.

    Only negative, we had steak sandwiches for the evening and the steak was not good. Most of our guests said it was horrible and chewy. So maybe avoid the steak sandwiches.

    Rowton Castle's reply:

    Hi Gemma and Cameron,

    Thank you so much for your kind words, we're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your day and we're privileged to have been part of it.

    We're ever so sorry to hear though that the evening food did not meet your expectations and I shall pass on this feedback to the team.

    We wish you all the best for your future together and hope that we'll be able to welcome you back to Rowton Castle in the near future.

    Kind regards.
    The Rowton Team

    December wedding

    Absolute perfect day!

    Joe and I chose to only have 3 months between our engagement to our wedding day. We chose Rowton Castle based on how stunning it is and the affordable price of the late availability package. From the day we confirmed / chosen a date, the wedding coordinators (particularly Corryn) were exceptional in taking time to speak with us on multiple occasions and promptly answering email questions we sent. They were so kind and genuine throughout the whole planning process. We were lucky that there was not a wedding the day before ours, so our guests were able to spend two days and two nights there. This meant we were able to catch up with family/ friends beforehand and spend more time together as a couple the day of. The castle was beautifully and tastefully decorated for Christmas (which helped keep our decorating costs down). A nice little surprise when we arrived was that the in house florist already scattered vases of white roses and eucalyptus around the lounge and reception which was what we decided on as our wedding flowers. There was not coordination, it was a happy little coincidence. Lewis was our MC the day of and he was just the best ever! Lewis kindly assisted my dad and I in running through our walk down the aisle the night before which helped us feel more at ease during the ceremony the next day. The day of, Lewis constantly checked on both Joe and I and reassured us of everything he and the staff were taking care of. He was just amazing and helped make our day perfect. Thank you also to Abi who was there the night before and helped me and my family settle in. I truly cannot thank all of the people at Rowton Castle for making our day the absolute best. I would 100000% recommend!
