A date with Destiny

Most amazing day ever.
The Castle really is a real Showstopper, all of our guests were in awe of the surroundings, with Naomi going above and beyond to make our day the best it could possibly be.
We had perfect weather, many said it was down to pure luck, but we are sure it was down to the ancient tradition of 'burying a sausage' (google it) on the night before the ceremony, which we did at the Lord Crewe.
All of the staff and indeed the local people of Bamburgh, were very friendly and very helpful, Bamburg has become our favourite place in the UK.
The Kings Hall is Grand with a capital 'G' and is sensational, we had a Harpist and the acoustics were excellent.
At the end of the service we carried out another ancient tradition, the Pagan act of Handfast, which we saw on the Last Kingdom (major inspiration for our choice).
We then crossed the courtyard to the Castle Keep, my favourite part of the castle, for a celebratory drink and photoshoot.
We had our meal booked at the Potted Lobster and thanks to the great weather, we were able to walk from the castle, through the town to the Lobster.
What a great day, Bamburgh Castle will always be in our hearts and we, of course, are now part of the castle's history.
We would unreservedly recommend the Castle for your wedding and intend to renew/bless our vows there in the future, a great place.

Wonderful day

Good communication throughout, opportunity to visit beforehand. Naomi was great and really helpful. Stunning setting , amazing price for getting married in a castle . Felt really looked after on the day. Did ceremony only , but I would imagine having a reception there would be incredible as well. All staff friendly and helpful , helped settle my nerves . Loved the day , thank you .

Amazing venue

Noami our wedding planner from Bamburgh Castle could not have been more helpful. She guided us through every step including recommending local suppliers who were excellent.
The package we chose was "Just the 2 of us" and included a 4 day stay, in the Castle and our wedding ceremony in the Kings Hall.
It could not have been improved upon and we would totally recommend to others looking for a magical day in stunning surroundings.

Our 2025 Wedding

The location itself is stunning - what’s not to love, and actually that it itself makes it incredible. But having Naomi as the wedding coordinator just made everything that extra bit special. Planning a wedding isn’t easy, and her expertise and opinions truly helped us make important decisions on our day. From the second she started her role at Bamburgh Castle communication was efficient, timely and full of important information which really supported us in some decision making. The day itself was so stress free, calm and enjoyable and this was purely down to Naomi and the team.

The venue of dreams, and so pleased we could tie the knot there!

Thank you - The Smiths

Two of us and Mollie

What a wonderful experience our wedding was all down to the professional , supportive and caring staff involved in the process- nothing was too much trouble and all were so friendly and warm in approach. We didn’t have to concern ourselves with anything and we couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon in such a beautiful and stunning setting. A really memorable and happy day. I highly recommend a wedding at Bamburgh Castle -it was perfect.

Better than I could have imagine!

What a wonderful experience and everything went so smoothly (but sadly quick). Beautiful setting and amazing beach location as well, plus we were spoilt with lovely weather. Best decision to make the wedding much smaller than originally planned.
