Reviews for Wadhurst Castle
Perfect experience!
Dream Venue
Would do it all again if I could ❤️❤️
Just wow!!
Sadly not all wedding venues we visited were as inclusive as you'd think - some even had 'Mr & Mrs' signs that they said couldn't be changed. But Susan and the team at Wadhurst made sure we were treated the same as every other couple (brilliantly!). When we arrived they were proudly showing another (straight) couple photos from a same sex couple from a wedding a few months before. It's small moments like that that meant a lot.
Thank you so so much Susan and Wadhurst Castle, you've given us the wedding of our dreams.
Venue of dreams
Dream venue
We have had so many compliments from our guests about the venue. It really makes for an iconic and memorable setting. We loved everything about it and 100% recommend
Perfect venue, brilliant team
Dream Venue
The venue was so welcoming and were open to how we wanted our day to be. Our coordinator Cassie was fantastic at helping bring that to life!
Lovely intimate wedding!
At the first venue visit, Susan was able to let us explore the venue. She had a very relaxed, but informative, no pressure approach. Most importantly, the venue and gardens are beautiful!
Communication was assertive and done over teams calls and mostly via email.
On the day of our wedding, Cassie took over and very thoughtful and helpful. No issues, no headaches.
Thank you both!
The perfect venu
I cannot recommend this venue enough. It speaks for itself, the castle is such an incredible backdrop and the grounds are beautiful.
But what you won't see from pictures is the team behind it - who are absolutely fantastic. In the lead up, Susan and Cassie were unbelievably helpful - responding really quickly to my (many) emails and questions. The final details meeting was so thorough and left me feeling so at ease with how the day was going to go. We felt listened to throughout, and we so appreciated Susan's vast experience and love for weddings, to help us shape our day.
On the day itself, Susan was an absolute dream. She put me at ease, took control of things that I wasn't even aware of, and made sure everything ran smoothly - even despite some bad weather meaning we had to change a few things. I had total confidence in her and that's one of the best things you can ask for as a bride!
It will be the best decision you could make for your day choosing Wadhurst Castle.
Just perfect
Only brides & grooms know how much work goes into planning a wedding and the stress it has but honestly every time I’d speak to Cassie or my caterer they just assured me. The day went exactly as they said. Every plan went perfectly & smoothly thanks to the amazing team from Wadhurst Castle. Walled garden was in full bloom. Roses & Cosmos flowers in other gardens. I cannot recommend this venue enough.
Layout of the rooms is perfect. From the view of the room I got to get ready to drawing room with a little cake room & conservatory one word, “DREAMY”!
Absolutely stunning
