Wedding Tariffs on Guest Numbers
Update 10/10/2024: We are running five discounted wedding offers as follows:
1. Last Minute Wedding Package Option (A) for 50 day guests and 75 evening guests, for £5,000, on any remaining Friday in 2025.
2. Last Minute Wedding Package Option (A) for 60 day guests and 85 evening guests, for £6,000 on any remaining Saturday in 2025.
3. Saturday Wedding Package for 70 day guests and 95 evening guests, for £10,000 in 2026 on all Saturdays.
4. Friday Wedding Package for 60 day guests and 85 evening guests, for £9,000 in 2026 on all Fridays.
5. The 2026 Weekend Exclusive Wedding Deal, two day, two night, wedding for 70 day guests and 100 evening guests, a £33k value wedding, where the wedding Couple pays a reduced rate of £15,000 towards their wedding, with the balance paid by guests in B&B (includes £10,000 of savings).
The 2024 Budget We'll mull over the effect of the Budget over the next 12 weeks. Certainly we'll have to increase 'last minute wedding' package above existing rates from 01/04/2025, to cover higher employment costs which were not known when we last set our 'last minute' rates. Our last minute rating chart will be updated on 31st Jan 2025. Wedding Contracts signed prior to 31/01/25 for 2025 dates will be at current published 2025 rates. |
Each wedding package is exclusive - we only allow one wedding a day in castle.
As a 'destination wedding venue', we advise all guests be invited for the full day, rather than have a higher number of evening guests and a lower number of day guests.
