From start to finish the wedding team at Hever defined professionalism in everything they do. Nothing was ever too much to ask and our day went off without a single issue. I couldn't recommend this venue enough, not just because of how incredible the venue itself is, but because it is supported by the most incredible team. Thank you again to Sarah, Nikki, Paul, Pavla and the rest of the team for making our day one we will look back on fondly for the rest of our lives.

When Googling castle wedding venues in the UK, Hever popped up at the top of my search. Being that it was already my favourite place on earth from a previous visit, at once it became the ONLY place I wanted for my dream wedding! I called Hever's events department for details, and once my groom was on board (which was immediately), the year-long wedding planning began! Sherry was my most wonderful, most patient, most helpful coordinator, and amongst many initial suggestions, she mentioned that if we chose a date in January, the venue is closed to the public for the month, so we could have the castle to ourselves, all day, for our wedding! That sounded divine! So the planning began. My whole group, including myself, was coming from the US, and most of us don't drive in the UK, so we faced all sorts of logistical hurdles to attending a wedding in a remote part of England. But Sherry helped me every step of the way. Our big group of Yanks ended up filling the Hever B&B for two nights, so we enjoyed a full weekend at Hever, and our wedding day itself was not rushed.

I selected my fantastic vendors from Hever's recommended suppliers list (which is useful for someone who lives abroad.) Every single person who worked with me along the planning stage was a dream! Hever's catering team, their florist Pamela, Ginny in the gift shop, and my fabulous suppliers, were all GREAT! For the entire wedding weekend, the operations team, lead by Nicky, was impeccable! Everything was PERFECT! The food was delicious, the service flawless, the ceremony and receptions (before and after "wedding breakfast") went smoothly, without a hitch; they even let us cut our cake in the drawing room and have a sparkler moment in front of the castle! Our ceremony was in the Inner Hall, we dined in the Great Hall, and did our evening reception in the beautiful Tudor Suite of the Astor Wing. It was beyond magical. My guests told me that it was the "best wedding ever", and I have to agree! It was a dream come true. Thank you to everyone at Hever for making our weekend adventure something to remember FOREVER!

It is not an easy task to plan a wedding from thousands of miles away and during a pandemic. That being said, if there was ever a place that could do it, it is Hever Castle.

While the grounds and castle may tempt you to book already, the incredible kindness and care of Kate and her staff made our wedding at Hever a truly magical, once in a lifetime experience for us.

For two years, we worked through all the details with Kate, who never once seemed perturbed by our questions and took the time to care for every small detail - even if it was a year plus before our wedding would actually take place.

Throughout the whole process, Hever was incredibly transparent and helped us figure out all the details to bring together an experience that was even better than we envisioned.

When it came to the wedding day, Hever’s incredible staff treated our guests like family and took care to cater to their every need, all while being pleasant as can be.

On top of the fantastic service and attentiveness, the food was as delicious as any Michelin Star restaurant. They even got our picky family members to try new foods.

We cannot thank Kate, Faye, and all the incredible staff at Hever for making our dream a reality. Hever will always be our home away from home and we hope to make it back as much as we possibly can!

We’ve had a brilliant 15 months preparing our wedding with excellent support from Sophie, Faye and the team. We wish we could re live it all! We’d highly recommend Hever to any other couple. Alice x

We had our wedding at the Astor Wing of Hever Castle booked for two years, everything was in place, then eight days before our big day the government changed the rules due to COVID and everything had to be rearranged. Megan and Faye from Hever Castle were amazing. We were fortunate to be able to hold our wedding in the Italian Gardens, and wow we really did get lucky. It was absolutely beautiful.
Our wedding breakfast was delicious, all of our guest loved the food, and drinks. Compliments to the chef and his team. The waiting staff were amazing, we felt like royalty.
The evening reception was amazing and dancing outside due to COVID restrictions was wonderful.
I cannot thank the team at Hever Castle enough for everything they did to make our day the most perfect day we could have ever dreamed of.

Just been married at Hever! I want to thank all my lovely vendors for capturing the day and delivering beautiful music, cake, and flowers: @stephaniechapmanphotographer
Haysden String Quartet (we had the trio) @purpleflour @theflowersmiths and Mike, our DJ
I also want to thank the lovely staff at Hever! Emily and Faye you both were a pleasure to work with and I can't thank you enough for keeping things on track and helping me plan a perfect day! I'm so glad I took your suggestions, you are experts at what works best! Seriously brides, LISTEN to the masters and you will get what you dream of.
Paul thank you for keeping us on track with timing the day of and for ensuring all guests were happy with their food and had everything they needed! Andy thank you for keeping guests satiated with drinks!
Steve! Your energy was so calming as you walked us ladies through the grounds to where we needed to go. Thank you for holding my flowers! Your information about the cygnets and passion for the castle captivated me.
Seriously, no wonder Hever won so many awards this year! You all have weddings down to a science without it feeling stiff or rushed. Also, no wonder these vendors are on the best venue's list! (Picking from this list and communicating with Emily and Faye were the biggest keys in planning a successful marriage in another country). All in all they are a dream to work with and they deliver the stuff of fantasy!
Finally, my husband and I were officially married in the States and held a "Renewal of vows" ceremony at Hever. It looked, felt and ran just like a wedding and we avoided the requirements and costs of the Kent registrar.

This was absolutely the perfect wedding day anyone could wish for. The venue is outstanding, the staff are fabulous and the whole process was seamless. The entire wedding team were wonderful from the moment the wedding plans began.....Our entire wedding party have said it's the best wedding they've ever been to; Kevin and I agree!!! Thank you for making it the most special day of our lives.

We just wanted to say thank you so much for everything that was done from Friday to Sunday, it was perfect in every way.

You guys could not have done any more than you did and please pass on a huge thank you the staff on the day.

Everyone one of our guests has commented and said it’s the best wedding they have ever attended and the venue was unbelievable.

The wedding went perfectly and it was largely down to the helpfulness of your staff and the team. Please can you extend our gratitude to the whole team for all their hard work and help. I realise now that I may have overcomplicated all of the arrangements by over organising every part of the children's activities and the like, so your team coped with my pedantic organisation really well!

Everything went so well.We cant believe how lucky we were with the weather too!

The day we had was absolutely perfect, I think we managed to bag one of the best weekends in September for weather! The grounds and venue looked amazing and we're can't wait to get our photo's back very soon.
Paul was brilliant! He made life very easy and it was great to have someone there as a go to for everything. All the staff in fact we're very polite and accommodating. The food and drink was perfect, it was exactly what we wanted - we had a lot of guests commenting on how good the wedding breakfast and pizza was!

We had an awesome time at Hever, the whole event from the moment Charan and I arrived on the 21st to the 23rd when we left was perfect. There were so many ‘wow’ moments from us and our guests it was just how we planned it.
Special thanks to you for your support through the planning process, to Paul for his Master of Ceremonies duties and to Steve for his front of house duties, you made us and all of our guests feel very special.

A huge thanks to the whole team at Hever Castle for making our wedding day so special (and stress free!). As you know, we only booked the wedding at the end of May, so were initially a little worried that we had not allowed enough time. But the first class planning and services at Hever made our worries redundant.

We are over the moon with how the day went, the service of the team on the day was excellent. Many of our guests commented on how they were served the food and drinks and the general calm atmosphere. Not forgetting the quality of the food and drinks also!

Both of us enjoyed every aspect of the day and wouldn't hesitate recommending the venue and facilities to others. We are already thinking about staying with you for our 1 year anniversary :)

We were blessed with beautiful weather, but everything about our wedding at Hever from the attention when we arrived, to the help throughout the day, the amazing Loggia with its fantastic setting and views to the glorious banquet in the Boleyn Dining Room were beyond our wildest dreams. The suppliers particularly Kenny Hickey Photography who has to be the best wedding photographer in the UK and Karen Woolven flowers and Spencer Wood that provided some extra magic for the day and Dante's tunes on the lute just made the day and memories even better. Team Hever under Kate's supervision are sheer perfection

An amazing venue. Great staff that made everything flow effortlessly on the day. Truly the best day.

We had the most amazing experience working with the Hever team. They were very professional and did everything they could to help us achieve our amazing wedding day.
The venue itself is beautiful and one we hope to visit on our anniversaries,
The accommodation at the Astor Wing and Medley Court worked perfectly well for our family and friends. Beautiful rooms.
We would recommend Hever Castle and the team to anyone wanting a magical day! :-)
