Betsy Sent on 06/06/2026A Magical Day!
We had our incredible wedding at Highcliffe Castle on 30/05/2026, and it was everything we could have asked for and more. The venue was absolutely beautiful, and they even seemed to arrange the perfect weather for us!
The whole process was smooth from start to finish. The team really listened to what we wanted and helped bring our vision to life. A special thank you to Teri, who was brilliant throughout and made everything so easy for us.
We couldn’t have wished for a better venue for our special day. Thank you to everyone at Highcliffe Castle for helping create such wonderful and treasured memories!

We had the most amazing wedding at Highcliffe Castle. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and everything ran seamlessly thanks to the fantastic team. Our only disappointment was feeling rushed after the ceremony, which meant we didn’t get all the photos we’d hoped for around the castle and grounds. Despite that, we had a perfect day and would happily recommend Highcliffe Castle to other couples. -

Highcliffe gave us the best day of our lives
Highcliffe castle stood out to us immediately when we visited. The most gorgeous location by the beach, meticulously looked after grounds and a stunning venue that wowed our guests.
We couldn’t have asked for a better venue! Gracie and her team were so professional looked after us throughout the whole wedding planning, helping with all questions and giving us advice.
The day was perfect! The team were so polite and kind to our guests. Nothing was too much! We felt at ease the whole day and able to relax and enjoy it knowing that the time at Highcliffe had everything under control.
If we could do this day a hundred times over, we would choose Highcliffe castle every time,

A castle on the beach-the dream wedding venue
I can’t fault a single aspect of Highcliffe Castle, from the enquiry and booking process to the day itself they really are experts in what they do but with a down to earth, relaxed atmosphere.
The venue is one I’ve always had my eye on but seeing it in person is just breath-taking, every room in the castle itself is unique and beautiful so it feels like a much larger venue and means you don’t have to travel to multiple venues to get everything you need. For us, having the beach on the doorstep was incredible too for those dusk beach pictures!
The team at the castle are truly 5*, Gracie was on hand ahead of the day for any questions and the rehearsal the night before was incredibly helpful. They ensure everything on the day runs smoothly and organise all suppliers so you feel like a guest at your own wedding.
It rained on our wedding day which in the lead up was something I was so anxious about but the castle is so beautiful and atmospheric in the rain and with the multiple rooms you really didn’t feel like anything was missing due to the weather. The highcliffe castle team sheltered me with umbrellas getting out of the car so I arrived dry at the ceremony and they were so attentive all day. Everything ran on time and the guests all commented on the incredible venue and staff.
A truly special venue that we will visit time and time again as it was the most magical wedding venue for us! -

Gracie and the team made our day a breeze. She was happy to help us from the moment we expressed interest in the venue and made booking our wedding day from overseas easy. she was always just an email away. On the wedding day, Gracie was there ready for us as we arrived and helped get folks settled. The day ran without a hitch, and was everything we could dream of. We are so happy that we chose Highcliffe for our ceremony.

Alice Sent on 07/09/2024Ceremony only
We had our ceremony at Highcliffe castle and we absolutely loved the venue. The rehearsal the day before was very helpful and informative. The staff are very experienced and keep everything running smoothly, they provided nothing but reassurance and a smile. I would highly recommend having your wedding here, the fact that the cafe and shop are accessible to the public did not phase me in the slightest. There was a small crowd eager to see me in my dress but they kept a very respectful distance. -

Beautiful venue, incredibly helpful staff and team
We had an absolutely wonderful wedding at Highcliffe!
The venue itself is beautiful, with such a lovely view of the sea and easy access to the beach. The flow of the wedding rooms works well, with the ceremony in the winter garden, drinks outside, and then the three evening rooms providing a lovely transition for our guests between the dance floor, the bar and where we ate being transformed into a quieter area for our older guests near the evening food.
All of the staff were so helpful from the initial visit to the day itself. Unlike some other venues, we did not feel pressured or upsold during the initial visit, and everything was presented to us in a straightforward and simple manner. Throughout the planning process, we had helpful and timely communication with Gracie and the rest of the team, who were still answering queries on the morning of the wedding itself! Both Gracie and Alex made sure our day ran absolutely smoothly, and we and our guests had a fabulous time. -
