Whitstable Castle Reviews (13) Write a review Thank you Venue Service By Sarah Watson, on 31 Jan 2020Date of Wedding - 27 Dec 2019 I just wanted to say thank you to you and all of the staff at Whitstable Castle for giving us such a lovely wedding. It went really well, the Castle looked amazing, and the food was excellent. Thanks so much to the staff and manager for working so hard to make the day go smoothly. Every member of staff were so friendly and added to much to the occasion. Thank you to you for making the organisation so simple and stress free! Sorry this is a little late in coming! I will provide feedback online somewhere if that helps, to say how amazing the Castle was from start to finish. Thanks so much for making it happen! Sarah and PhilOur perfect wedding day Venue Service By Kelly Shurman, on 31 Jan 2020Date of Wedding - 21 Jun 2019 We got married here in June 2019, it was such a perfect, lovely day. We had our ceremony within the castle, wedding breakfast in the rose garden followed by evening reception with Kentish BBQ in The Orangery and the gardens. Tiffany our wedding organiser was brilliant all the way through the viewing, planning stage and was amazing on the day. The staff at the castle were all amazing and we could not have wanted more on our day. It is a fantastic venue and would highly recommend it to anyone. Attention to detail was out of world.
