The perfect day

My husband and I were looking to have a small intimate wedding with just a handful of guests. We wanted the day to feel stress free, like a big party with a ceremony in the start. Whittington castle took our vision and made it a reality.

Aside from the stunning venue (like, who wouldn't want to get married in a castle??) the team worked hard to make sure we had the best day.

The food was fantastic the atmosphere incredible the ceremony went off without a hitch.

A key thing that was important to me was having an accessible venue for family members with mobility issues and Whittington castle is fully accessible.

Thank you so much to Cathrine, Tom, Kim and everyone at Whittington castle for looking after us and making our wedding a reality.
