Great wedding experience at a lovely venue .

We chose Whitstable Castle for our wedding venue as the town and venue are places with special memories for us. The process of booking the day was very straightforward and stress-free and our wedding planner Tiffany was friendly and accomodating to our needs.

The venue itself is picturesque and really lends itself to wedding photos as it has a water fountain, flower gardens, gazebo, etc. as well as the actual castle (which is small in terms of Castle size but very beautiful).

On the day, the staff were attentive and ensured everything went smoothly. Pricing for what we had was very competitive.

Highly recommended.

Our Twilight package wedding was simply beautiful. So relaxed. Food, wine and music just perfect. Tiffany, our wedding planner, was an absolute star. And such good value. We would absolutely recommend this beautiful venue and wonderful team.

Absolutely beautiful!

Tiffany and the team made our day the most beautiful ever! With diffulties of planning a wedding during lockdowns and furloughed staff, Tiffany kept us informed every step of the way. Along with advise and planning. We wanted a small intimate and relaxed wedding. Tiffany was a fountain of knowledge and we had every faith in her. It was an amazing and beautiful day! I want to do it again. Wonderful staff and guests were very happy with the food and drinks and overall atmosphere. Keeping the integrity of this beautiful venue.

Our perfect wedding day

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.
The gardens allowed our photographers to get brilliant photos that we will treasure always.

Excellent venue

Thank you for everything, all your hard work and for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. Our wedding day was sort of a light at the end of a very dark tunnel for us and you all made it so special. The venue was excellent, the food was excellent and the ceremony was excellent but none of that would have been possible without you!
