Dan & Laura

Absolutely amazing venue! So happy that I chose to get married here. My Personal Wedding Manager Tally was absolutely fantastic! Couldn't have picked anyone better. I could write a massive essay on how attentive and helpful she was, not only on the day but in the lead up to it as well. All the staff were amazing though. The food service was fabulous and quick! The Christmas tree was just amazing. Thank you so much to everyone at the castle for the wedding of my dreams but that special mention to Tally for everything she did for us.
