Facilities and Capacity

There are three event spaces where you can host your wedding festivities at Hever Castle. The Astor Wing, a private wing of the castle, dates back to 1903 but was designed in the Tudor style to complement the venue's roots. This exclusive-use setting offers an oak-panelled sitting room that overlooks the castle and formal lawns. It's ideal for intimate ceremonies with up to 60 attendees. Receptions held here can be held in the Music Room or on the terrace overlooking the moat. The Astor Wing also houses the Tudor Suite Dining Room, which welcomes wedding breakfasts with up to 60 attendees. During the winter months, the Castle Inner Hall and Castle Dining Room are available to hire for wedding ceremonies and receptions. With ornate panelling, antique furniture, and original paintings, it exudes historic charm.

Couples hoping to host an outdoor wedding are invited to explore the beauty of the award-winning Italian Garden. Celebrate under the arched columns of the Italian Loggia, which overlooks the 38-acre lake. This waterfront area can accommodate up to 180 guests, ideal for grander celebrations. The nearby Guthrie Pavilion is offered for late-night festivities and live entertainment, and the Winter Garden Lawn is also available for a marquee wedding.
