Wedding - April 2026 - Tilly & Kyle

My partner and I were lucky enough to get married at the Castle Green Hotel in Kendal at the beginning of April 2026, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

From the very beginning, every member of staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They were incredibly friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making our wedding as special as possible. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they couldn’t have been more accommodating throughout the entire process.

The venue itself was beautiful, the food was excellent, and the attention to detail was outstanding. Thanks to the amazing team, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was in safe hands.

We are so grateful to everyone at the Castle Green Hotel for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime. We would wholeheartedly recommend the hotel as a wedding venue to anyone looking for exceptional service and a truly unforgettable experience.

Thank you all for making our dream wedding a reality!

April 2026 Wedding

I attended a wedding event and spoke to one of the wedding planners (Georgia) to discuss what sort of a wedding day we were looking for. Georgia was really accommodating and helped to tweak things to make it just as we wanted it. Shortly before the wedding day we decided to change our plan for the day and all of the staff were really accommodating to this and ensured everything we wanted was in place.

We stayed over the night before the wedding, we had a meeting with our wedding host (Christine) to go through how the day was going to run and all the final details, nothing was too much trouble.

On our wedding day everything went so smoothly with thanks to Christine and all the amazing staff at Castle Green.

All of our guests gave really positive comments regarding the food, service and general organisation. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone for a wedding. whether your wedding is small and intimate or on the larger side, they can cater for anything.

Summer garden wedding

Emma and I attended a wedding open day at Castle Green and from the second we walked in we knew it was for us.

Amazing scenery for our garden wedding really topped the day off and the venue staff were all brilliant throughout the booking and planning stages to the special day!

Daughters wedding on 25th October

Over the weekend of Friday 24th and Saturday 25th October, my daughter got married at the Castle Green.

From arriving on Friday afternoon, until we left on Sunday afternoon, the staff were exceptional.

On initial arrival the staff at reception were extremely helpful in getting us booked in, as was Hannah the wedding planner. Throughout the weekend Hannah was on hand, and always responded promptly to any requests and made things happen, with nothing being too much trouble for her.

On the Friday night 22 of us ate in Alexanders, and as we found in the main hotel, the staff in Alexanders were great. They really looked after us, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

On the Saturday Christine was really helpful in ensuring the ceremony and wedding reception ran without issue, and like Hannah, was really helpful and very professional. The staff waiting on at the wedding reception were very attentive, and the meal was excellent.

We had a number of family members and friends who stayed overnight, many who had not visited the Castle Green before, and all commented on how much they had enjoyed the wedding and their overnight stay.

A big part of that was due to the staff. Right from the outset as I have commented on above, the reception staff were very helpful, and that flowed through to those serving breakfast or behind the bar, at the wedding reception, and the cleaning staff etc.

We had a fantastic weekend, and all the team at The Castle Green contributed towards that.

Fantastic venue in every way

We first approached Castle Green when our original venue went into administration…and this is where everything changed for the better! We were welcomed by Amanda and Hanna and they literally made us feel overwhelmed by their kindness after one meeting we realised it was fate and we were exactly where we should be. The planning process was so thoroughly organised and nothing was ever a problem.
When it came to our special day we cannot think of anything to say other than wow!! The effort Hanna, Amanda and Chris put in was well beyond any expectations, it was truly phenomenal. The room was set exactly as we wanted and we were absolutely delighted with how our vision was created with such care.
The day ran so calmly and smoothly and that was credit to all the staff, nothing was too much trouble and I’m certain they all went above and beyond even coming and checking on us during the morning.
The canapés, wedding breakfast and evening burger bar was all delicious and plentiful and served very quickly with all dietary needs covered.
There was literally nothing more that could have been done to help us in any way. By the end of the day Hanna and Chris felt more like family.
I highly recommend Castle Green for everyone’s wedding, celebration or even just a meal it’s always going to be a special place to us.

The best day

We approached Castle Green after receiving one of the worst possible news, our venues went bankrupt, we found out via facebook. Hanna booked us in the same day, we went with the parents to desperately find an alternative. In all honestly, it was an upgrade, nothing was too much trouble and we could tell pretty much right away we were in safe hands. Hanna listened and wanted to get every detail right, we trusted her.

The day came all of a sudden, and honestly Castle green was a fantastic venue. The food was exceptional, every single guest commented on the canapes, meal and those fish and chips! Everything ran smoothly on the day thanks to Chris and Hanna. People commented it was one of the best weddings they had been to.

He runs a tight ship, getting everything sorted and keeping you updated on the day. We were really impressed.

We won't forget our experience and want to come back to celebrate on our anniversary.
Though it rained, our day was not dampened. Thank you Hanna, Chris and Castle green.

Blown away

Castle green were incredible . Amanda and Christine catered for our every need and gave us the most wonderful day.
On the build up nothing was too much trouble - Amanda was in touch all the way through the planning making sure we had every detailed covered.
On the day the whole Castle Green wedding team were available and running around to make sure everything went as planned.
They were friendly, kind and just wonderful. I would highly recommend this venue for your perfect wedding.

10year Vow renewal

From the moment we started our journey with the castle green hotel it's been an absolute pleasure!!!!
We met with Hanna and informed her of all our ideas. As this wasn't a traditional wedding but a vow renewal it was all about my ideas. Hanna was soooo communicative, I was able to call and email whenever I had questions or queries. Which was often.
We stayed in the hotel the night before and night of. Hanna got us upgraded to the executive suite which was absolutely amazing and soooo soo kind!!!! It was Spacious and had a corner sofa 🥰.. the staff all did what they could for us on the day and it was a great day had by all! Hanna popped in too see us before she finished her shift which I thought was really nice . Kind of like a, I started this I want to see how it ends. Came back to the room the night of and we had a card and a castle green hotel chocolate bar from Hanna and staff. Lovely touch! I honestly couldn't recommend Hanna and the castle green hotel enough! It was absolutely amazing, and I'm so glad I chose here to do our renewal..

Thankyou so much Hanna !!! Xx

Actual Magic

We had our wedding here and we couldn't have picked a better venue at all, such a wonderful hotel with incredibly accommodating staff and exceptional service.

We'd like to give a special mention to Hanna and Christine who made the whole day run smoothly and not a single thing could have made it any more perfect.

The rooms are fantastic with everything you need and the 'Garden View' rooms are absolutely stunning. We ate in the restaurant and at Alexanders, the onsite pub, and both have excellent food and service.

This place has become somewhere very special to us and we can't wait to come and stay again.

Amazing from start to finish!

We had our wedding here on 14th September 2024. We had a fantastic experience the whole way through. Hanna was absolutely brilliant with helping us plan the whole day and making sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. We had Anne as our wedding host on the day. It was her first solo wedding and she honestly could not have done a better job. All of our guests mentioned how amazing she was, she really made the day what she was we couldn't have asked for a better host!

Wonderful day, great atmosphere, everything was perfect!

Great organisation from the beginning. Very flexible to do things exactly the way my daughter wanted, really listened to her. Calm, friendly and a real ‘ can do’ attitude. Lovely outside ceremony, then meal in a lovely room with a large outside balcony area. Beautiful gardens for photos. Food was good, particularly the build a burger in the evening. Then evening easy transformation into area for the band. Everything was perfect and the atmosphere was great.

Amazing Wedding Day

What an amazing wedding day my husband and I had at Castle Green! From the friendliness and helpfulness of staff to the cleanliness and comfort of our rooms-everything was spot on! The Kendal suite is a perfect venue for a wedding reception we thoroughly enjoyed the views from the adjoining balcony whilst having sparklers and dancing the night away with our family and friends . All guests commented on how kind and attentive staff where throughout the whole day. A special thanks to Nicola and Christine.
