    Stunning venue and 5 star service

    The venue is such a special place and the staff couldn't do enough for us, right from the first show around with Johanna, to the follow up meetings and planning with Gemma and Corryn and on the day Ralph and Gareth worked tirelessly to ensure we had the most magical day.
    The food, ambiance, location and service just make this place the perfect package to hold your wedding.
    There are so many more people in the team we didnt meet personally who worked behind the scenes ensuring our day was perfect.

    Absolutely Fabulous Venue, Beautiful surroundings!
    Even the rain didn't dampen our day.

    Great service!

    We had our wedding at Rowton recently and it was amazing! The staff were all very friendly and accommodating, both on the day and in the planning stages. The venue itself is lovely and it shows Rowton look after it well. Food was amazing. We had lots of nice comments from guests about the venue.

    Fairytale Wedding

    Rowton is not Rowton without the people at the heart of it, I do not say it lightly when I say from the initial booking with Johan to the planning with Elise & Corryn to the actual hosting of the day with Lewis and Lucy, there was no stone left unturned.

    Lewis, we want to say a special thank you to you because although you have been in the game for 20 years, there is no level of complacency or emotional disconnect. He so clearly feels every emotion with you and it’s so heartwarming that someone who does this regularly hasn’t become desensitised from it

    We honestly owe you all our biggest gratitude and send all our love your way for making it such a special and memorable day

    They say planning a wedding in 5 months is crazy but with the Rowton team, it felt like we’d been planning for years. They really are professionals on their field ❤️

    Everything we wanted.

    The team at Rowton were fantastic from start to finish. Nothing was too much and the day ran exactly as we wanted. It was so relaxed. The food was fantastic for the wedding breakfast. Mouth watering and cooked to perfection.

    Only negative, we had steak sandwiches for the evening and the steak was not good. Most of our guests said it was horrible and chewy. So maybe avoid the steak sandwiches.

    Rowton Castle's reply:

    Hi Gemma and Cameron,

    Thank you so much for your kind words, we're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your day and we're privileged to have been part of it.

    We're ever so sorry to hear though that the evening food did not meet your expectations and I shall pass on this feedback to the team.

    We wish you all the best for your future together and hope that we'll be able to welcome you back to Rowton Castle in the near future.

    Kind regards.
    The Rowton Team

    December wedding

    Absolute perfect day!

    Joe and I chose to only have 3 months between our engagement to our wedding day. We chose Rowton Castle based on how stunning it is and the affordable price of the late availability package. From the day we confirmed / chosen a date, the wedding coordinators (particularly Corryn) were exceptional in taking time to speak with us on multiple occasions and promptly answering email questions we sent. They were so kind and genuine throughout the whole planning process. We were lucky that there was not a wedding the day before ours, so our guests were able to spend two days and two nights there. This meant we were able to catch up with family/ friends beforehand and spend more time together as a couple the day of. The castle was beautifully and tastefully decorated for Christmas (which helped keep our decorating costs down). A nice little surprise when we arrived was that the in house florist already scattered vases of white roses and eucalyptus around the lounge and reception which was what we decided on as our wedding flowers. There was not coordination, it was a happy little coincidence. Lewis was our MC the day of and he was just the best ever! Lewis kindly assisted my dad and I in running through our walk down the aisle the night before which helped us feel more at ease during the ceremony the next day. The day of, Lewis constantly checked on both Joe and I and reassured us of everything he and the staff were taking care of. He was just amazing and helped make our day perfect. Thank you also to Abi who was there the night before and helped me and my family settle in. I truly cannot thank all of the people at Rowton Castle for making our day the absolute best. I would 100000% recommend!

    An effortless wedding

    We got married at Rowton in March and I can’t thank the staff enough for how effortlessly and beautifully the day ran.

    We booked a late availability deal but had just under a year before the wedding. The package was brilliant, the staff were impeccable and the day ran like clockwork. They never lost patience before or during the wedding and catered really well for all requirements including one of my bridesmaids who has multiple allergies and intolerances. She usually feels like a problem when she goes out for food but it seemed like no problem at all for the team.

    If you want a day with nothing to worry about but getting in that dress and marrying the person you love in a beautiful location then Rowton is the place for you.

    It’s a day we’ll never forget, Rowton was the best choice of venue and I’m so glad we did it.

    Thank you so much to everyone at Rowton who made my wedding a success.

    Perfect Wedding Day

    Rowton castle are simply the best. If you are considering having your wedding here, just do it! The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and magical, especially if you able to get married outside. The staff are second to none, they are just incredible and all of our guests commented on it. We opted for a late availability package which had so much included, the whole wedding process from start to finish was so easy and stress free, they take care of everything and guide you through everything. They made our wedding day faultless, and we loved every minute. And tower house for bride and bridesmaids/family the night before is an added bonus. So many of our guests have said it is the best wedding they have ever been to! The food was really very good, and lots of it, and their recommended suppliers are all reliable and offer high quality services. Although every single staff member is amazing, Special thanks has to go to Ceri and Corryn pre wedding who dealt with any queries promptly and were super friendly and helpful, Abbie our MC on the day who was absolutely brilliant and put us completely at ease and Ryan who took over in the evening and helped us deal with an incident calmly and quickly. Couldn’t recommend highly enough it was truly our dream wedding and we wish we could do it all over again!
