Eastnor is an exclusive use venue which gives you use of four impressive rooms for your wedding:

The Gothic Drawing Room

The richly decorated room, designed by Augustus Pugin, is a perfect, romantic setting for your ceremony. The room is licensed for civil ceremonies for up to 90 people. 

The Great Hall

With its 60-foot-high ceiling, and roaring log fires in winter months, this is an imposing yet intimate space for the reception. This room is licensed for wedding ceremonies for up to 150 people and can also be used as for dining for larger weddings of up to 150 guests.

The Octagon Room

This room overlooks the castle terraces and lake and is the perfect place to serve drinks and canapes in the summer months, usually accompanied by a string quartet or small jazz band. If you are also planning an evening party, we can arrange for a dance floor to be laid in this room where there is also plenty of space for a DJ or band to perform. 

The State Dining Room

This imposing and yet intimate richly decorated room has no obstructions, allowing the bride and groom to take their seats at the top table and be seen by each of their guests. The room will seat up to 80 guests at round tables for a formal sit-down or buffet-style meal. 

When you’re ready to kick off your dancing shoes at the end of the night, you won’t have far to go. There are twelve beautiful guest bedrooms in the castle that are available for the bride and groom and their family and close friends. Each of the luxurious bedrooms is individual in style and character, and all have stunning views. There is also a 3 bed apartment at the end of the driveway near the old stable which can be hired for extra accommodation.
