Reviews for Thornbury Castle
Timeless perfection
Mom here, this may be a long review
We are from the US, so the entire wedding was coordinated by email, call, and following up on questions, details and ensuring we were on the right page. The team, and I stress this team is amazing. From the 100s of questions their coordinator answered, the reception, the catering, the staff behind the scenes. They ALL made my daughter and son-in-law's day absolutely magical.
Everyone hopes for the dream wedding, and for a small party to fly over and have a destination wedding at this venue, you cannot go wrong.
We had last minute changes, asked to get extra days for the couple in their suite and somehow reception made it happen. We had rain, and somehow we got rainbows. Now that last one, we cannot say they made that happen outright, but it did.
I recommend the Castle, staff, catering and venue. 20 out of 10.
