Olivia Sent on 04/02/2026The perfect venue!
I cannot fault Heddingham in any way. From our very first visit, we were looked after by the team in every way. Everyone was so friendly, very understand and accommodating of requirements or any last minute changes. The venue itself is stunning. We used the castle for our intimate wedding and every guest commented on just how stunning the castle was and it made for a magical ceremony and reception/meal. The on site accommodation in the cottage, lodge and Royal Chamber is also incredible and the perfect place to stay with our entire family on our special day. I could not be happier with our choice of venue and it was also incredible value for money! Thank you to everyone who was part of our day. -

Alice Sent on 04/02/2026The perfect wedding venue
We had the best day of our lives at Hedingham Castle. As wedding venues go, this one truly is breathtaking and unique. The combination of the ceremony at the castle, drinks reception in the grounds of the manor house and wedding breakfast/evening in the marquee is impossible to beat.
From start to finish, the staff were helpful, professional, friendly and attentive. We visited several times during the wedding planning process, spoke through all of our choices and Sarah helped us craft a wedding that was personal to us, with loads of advice and helpful input. They also responded quickly to emails whenever I needed which helped make the process stress free. On the day, Jackie made sure everything ran like clockwork and looked after both of us.
We couldn't recommend this venue and it's staff more highly. -

Our whole day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The team at Hedingham were exceptionally helpful, generous with their time, and accomodating to make sure we got exactly the day we wanted. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and we couldn't have asked for a better backdrop for our special day. The team provided us with everything we needed and helped us with all the planning, and they thought of absolutely everything (including a lot that I'm sure we'd have missed without them!), even providing us with a list of recommended vendors to make our search so much easier. For the amount you get included, we thought that it was absolutely fantastic value for money, and can't recommend Hedingham Castle enough. -

Kayleigh Sent on 08/01/2026A fairytale location
The whole team at Hedingham Castle were exceptional from the moment I first made contact to enquire, to the moment we left the castle the following morning. They accommodated every request I made to make our wedding day the most magical experience any one could ever imagine. We had a small intimate ceremony with canapes for our guests, followed by a private meal for just the two of us and it was possibly the most wonderful food we have ever had and the chef was incredible. The whole team made sure everything ran so smoothly on the day. We stayed overnight in the royal chamber and what an incredible experience this was. The views were beautiful, and the breakfast was wonderful the following morning. If you're considering booking this place, my advice would be just book it. You will absolutely not regret it.Hedingham Castle's reply:
Thank you so much Kayleigh for such a gorgeous review. We are thrilled you and Jamie had an incredible celebration, it was really a joy to work with you both! -

Dan Sent on 08/01/2026A Timeless Venue for our Priceless Day
We could not speak more highly of Hedingham as a wedding venue. Whilst the keep, the house, the gardens all speak for themselves, what really sets Hedingham apart is the excellence of the planning team.
From day 1, Sarah was exceptional, working with us both to understand what we hoped to achieve, and finding solutions with calm reassurance - we never felt like there were any obstacles that couldn’t be overcome.
During the wedding weekend, Jackie and Debbie were the perfect balance of attentive and discrete, helping guide along both the hog roast on Friday night, and the main wedding on Saturday. The wider staff were excellent, working tirelessly to keep guests fed and watered.
Andy’s guided tour of the Keep was informative and fun, engaging both the children and the adults, would definitely recommend (probably better on the Friday with the smaller number of guests).
Overall, a phenomenal experience that elevated our special day beyond what we could even have hoped, thank you to everyone involved!!Hedingham Castle's reply:
Wow Dan, thank you so much! It was a pleasure hosting your weekend wedding and we are so happy that you had a fantastic experience. I will pass your kind words onto Jackie, Debbie, Andy and the team :) -

Busby-Saywood Sent on 28/10/2025Gorgeous venue and great staff!
We had such a lovely experience with this venue. The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the whole process. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and everything was set up exactly as we had requested. It was also a really good price for such a stunning location with everything included in the package.
We used Splinters Catering and they were amazing. The food was absolutely delicious and received so many compliments from our guests. We stayed in the Royal Chamber, which was beautiful and provided an amazing end to the night and a wonderful start to our marriage.
Our only small issue was that our guests could not get any reception food or drinks until after our photos, and we felt a bit rushed during that time. I even forgot to get a couple of group shots I had planned. We had scheduled around an hour to 1.5 hours for our reception drinks, and I would suggest allowing a bit longer to avoid the rush. The team worked hard to keep everything running smoothly, and the day overall was wonderful. We would definitely recommend this venue to other couples.Hedingham Castle's reply:
Thank you for your lovely review Hope, we are so pleased you had a great experience and a wonderful day. Thank you for the feedback regarding the drinks reception and we are sorry you felt slightly rushed. It can be a tricky balance to allow enough time to get all the photos wanted but not too long that all the guests are waiting around to go in for dinner. I am pleased to hear the team managed to keep everything running smoothly :) -

Heather Sent on 11/09/2025Absolutely wonderful
Who doesn’t dream of getting married in a castle? You can’t get better than Hedingham. The Georgian Manor House and marquee are amazing as well, a real journey through time. We knew it was the venue for us when we were first shown round. Our guests were so impressed, saying it was magical. The team: Sarah, Amanda and Jenny were brilliant. Super responsive and we met twice at our wedding planning meetings. They know how to do weddings so you’ll be in safe hands. Everything on the day ran smoothly. We can’t thank them enough for having us. We also stayed in the castle overnight which was excellent!Hedingham Castle's reply:
Thank you so much for such kind words Heather, we are thrilled that you and Gary had a fabulous day, thank you for choosing Hedingham :) -

Hedingham Castle is THE best wedding venue. From the minute we arrived on our first visit, we knew it was the right venue for us, not only because it's absolutely gorgeous, but because the package is so comprehensive, the staff are so thorough, and it's excellent value for money.
In the lead up, we had multiple visits, zoom calls, and emails guiding us through the process, with the team coming back to us immediately with clear information and answers to our questions.
We couldn't believe how helpful the staff were on the day and how much care they put into our special day! They made us feel so relaxed about the whole process, so cared for and looked after, and just couldn't appreciate their kindness and thoughtfulness more.
So many of our guests commented that they've never seen venue staff be so helpful, thinking of things we might need and just getting them done before we've even thought of it, and adding touches of decor wherever they could to add to our vision.
I also cannot express just HOW beautiful this venue is.
I want to get married there every year!!Hedingham Castle's reply:
Gemma and Chris, thank you so much for such a gorgeous review! We are thrilled you had a fantastic day and enjoyed the whole experience, you were both a complete joy to work with. Please come and visit us again soon :) -
