Our beautiful, quiet and intimate venue offers you a blank canvas, enabling you to create your perfect day that will keep your guests talking for years to come.

The manor house, built on the castle walls, provides you with your very own bridal suite, containing a deluxe bedroom, stunning bathroom, and a relaxing lounge area. This allows you to indulge in complete privacy whilst we spoil you with complimentary refreshments throughout the morning.

A Happy bride
Venue Service

By Charlotte Obee, on 29 Mar 2017Date of Wedding - 29 Oct 2016

The venue alone is divine but the team running the place really make this a fantastic location. From the moment we laid eyes on Westenhanger Castle to the minute we departed our wedding last night, Sarah has taken excellent care of us and all our needs. The grounds provide an excellent backdrop with plenty of space and beautiful buildings to look at. Inside the castle the space retains its elegant charm whilst managing to still have a modern feel. The marquee has plenty of space and is an excellent venue for all event needs. All in all I cannot sing the praises enough of this place!

A Massive Thank You
Venue Service

By Sarah, on 24 Apr 2014

Just wanted to drop you a quick thank you to let you know what a truly amazing time we had at our wedding last week and it was all down to you, Steve and Sarah. Not only did you transform the venue into our perfect wedding, you made the day run perfectly too. Almost all of our guest have messaged us to tell us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to because of the flawless organisation and atmosphere they created. When I told people we were getting married in the UK, everyone told me that I'd regret it as you're so busy worrying about the day you don't enjoy it. Well for me, that was completely false as I had you guys. You coordinated the day perfectly and allowed me to relax (maybe a little too much!) and really make it memorable. It was honestly the best day of our entire lives and I knew everyone was okay. Everyone has commented in how amazing Steve was by taking a load of guests to the services to get cash when the card machine broke. For me Sarah was also a godsend by making up my cake for me and arranging all the last minute bits for me. Please please please pass on our thanks to them for us!!! I cannot put into words how to thank you enough and wish we could get married all over again. Thanks again so much and we hope to see you soon. Take care and lots of love, Sarah and Bryn

Historic, beautiful and unforgetable wedding venue
Venue Service

By Karen & Mark, on 01 Jun 2008

We held our marriage ceremony and reception at Westenhanger Castle on 10/05/2008, and it truly is a beautiful setting. After booking we became concerned that as our day grew closer that the events organiser left and was replaced, only for the new organiser to be replaced a short while afterwards, however her replacements were the two most helpful and dedicated organisers that we could have hoped for. Their names are Karen and Jackie, and they went out of their way to make our day special, making sure they knew what are wishes were, and making us feel that nothing was too much. They helped the day to run like clockwork. The use of the bridal suite is an extra special touch, allowing me the bride the chance to relax and get ready at a steady pace. Even bacon sandwiches and glasses of champagne were provided. The grounds are absolutely stunning, and this is captured beautifully in our photographs. Of the guests asked, opinion was that the food was of a high standard. I cannot praise this venue enough. We knew the moment we saw it, that it was the one. If within your budget, you should at least view it to appreciate it. A day that will never be forgotten.

Simply Outstanding!

“Our wedding at Westenhanger Castle was truly amazing. From the moment we booked the venue we knew it would be a special day, but we didn’t realize just how fantastically special it would become thanks to the staff working behind the scenes at the castle! I would recommend this venue to anybody, the staff are fantastic – nothing is too much trouble, - the food is amazing, and the whole experience of getting married in such a beautiful setting makes it a day to remember for both the special couple and their guests! Thank you Joy and your team for such an amazing day!”

Our fairy-tale wedding come true
Venue Service

By Karan & Lloyd Thatcher, on 10 Nov 2005

Our wedding at Westenhanger Castle truly was the best day of our lives. The staff were all so helpful and friendly and they kept everything running smoothly and calmly - even when I wasn't!! They couldn't help enough even down to providing myself (the bride) and bridesmaids with bacon butties and champagne in the morning. The venue is spectacular and we felt like King and Queen of the castle for the day, even down to the red carpet and thrones - much classier than Posh and Becks. Everyone, without exception, said how wonderful the venue, food and staff were and I couldn't agree more. If I could get married there every year I would - Husband thinks I am mad (and is possibly now having second thoughts!)But my wedding day was the best day of my life and it's all thanks to those at Westenhanger castle whose passion it is to make your dreams come true - and they certainly did with us. Get married here, I cant sing their praises enough.

Happiest day of our lives
Venue Service

By Sam & Gavin Hills, on 17 Oct 2005

We had a fantastic day, couldn't have wished for a better one, and will treasure the memories for many years. Everyone is still talking about our day, especially about the venue and how beautiful it was and also about the staff, everyone said how nice, friendly and helpful they all were. The 27th August was one of the happiest days of our lives and we thank you for it.

Charlotte and Peter’s wedding - Saturday 13th August 2005

By Brian Collie (bride’s father), on 04 Sep 2005

Thank you so much for all that you did, both before and on the day in so many ways, Charlotte & Peter had a wonderful wedding reception thanks to you. Everyone said what a spectacular place Westenhanger Castle was and how on earth did we manage to find such a place! Everything looked stunning including the food, we had many comments on how good everything looked and tasted. For us all, the day seemed to whiz past and our one regret was that we did not have more time at the castle.
