Couples say afterwards, "We wish we could do it all again - it was all over so fast". So why not make a full weekend of it?
To make your Special Occasion with your new family and all your new relatives really last, we say, "Make a full weekend of it". |

Why settle for a 'blink and it's gone' one day wedding like everyone else? You're special!
Book a £35/ head evening meal the night before. Make yours a two day weekend wedding where everyone arrives leisurely the day before.
Stay & enjoy an informal supper in the castle the night before. No rush getting to the venue on your wedding day.
Settling everyone in to their rooms the night before makes a castle wedding so much more relaxing for you and your guests.

The 2024 Budget Budget was a shock for labour intensive Hospitality & Retail. Higher employment costs mean packages are increasing at 10% a year to cover higher NIC/ NMW costs in Hospitality. This means 2025 is 10% less than 2026, 2026 is 10% less than 2027. Means marrying sooner is less. |
