Our Amazing Wedding at Hampton castle ❤️ We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding than Hampton Castle. From the moment we arrived, everything was absolutely incredible. The setting is breathtaking, the grounds are beautiful, and the whole venue has such a magical and romantic feel. It was everything we had dreamed of for our special day. The team at Hampton Castle were amazing from start to finish. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they helped make the whole day feel relaxed, special and completely unforgettable. Every little detail came together perfectly, and we were blown away by how beautiful everything looked. Our guests have also commented on what an incredible venue it was and how amazing the whole day felt. We have so many wonderful memories from our wedding day, and Hampton Castle will always hold a very special place in our heart

The most beautiful setting for our special day. From the moment I set eyes on the castle at our first viewing, I knew it would be the perfect venue for our wedding and we booked it almost straight away. Rob was so helpful when showing us around and Lydia was so helpful in our planning meeting and at our food tasting. Rob and Lydia both made our day absolutely perfect. They were so helpful from start to finish. The whole day felt like a dream. Everything ran seamlessly thanks to them. I don’t have a single complaint! We felt like royalty all day! The food was incredible! The best I’ve ever had at a wedding. The canapés were delicious, and there was more than enough for all our guests to enjoy. The wedding breakfast was amazing and the hog roast on the evening was just as good. No one went hungry and everyone was so happy with the food. All the staff working the day of the wedding were so attentive and helped th

We cannot recommend Hampton Court Castle enough! From the very start, our wedding planners, Rob and Lydia, made us feel completely at ease. Their professionalism was evident from our first visit — showing us around the venue, talking through how our magical day would come to life, and never making us feel pressured to make a decision. They broke down costs clearly, explained exactly what we would get, and even allowed us to book extra viewings, although we had already made up our minds! Throughout the planning process, their guidance was invaluable. Meetings were thorough and informative, detailing every aspect of the day and providing contacts for suppliers who know the venue inside out. We chose to stay in the beautiful rooms on site, which our guests absolutely loved. Knowing Rob and Lydia were just a phone call away for any concerns was incredibly reassuring. On the day, everything ran like clockwork thanks to their meticulous planning and the spectacular venue itself. It truly was a dream come true — exactly as ma

The Hampton Court wedding team truly exceeded all expectations for our September 2024 wedding. They were extremely helpful with their suggestions, and super prompt in responding to our many questions. On the day they were on hand to ensure everything ran totally seamlessly - Lydia, Rob and Izzy were all incredible to work with. The venue is as wonderful as it looks. The rooms are all incredible to stay in and our guests delighted at the chance to stay in a castle. We used the gardens for our photos and they looked really wonderful. The catering and bar staff were extremely helpful and all the food was terrific. We chose to have a cocktail hour after the wedding breakfast which looked and tasted amazing. The venue also has a lot of great features such as their postbox for cards, easels for wedding signs and of course the sword for cutting the cake! The group breakfast the follo

The Hampton Court Castle team , venue, food, wine and suppliers are all absolutely wonderful. Our guests were wowed by the beautiful castle, but for us - it was the staff that made the day.

Prior to picking Hampton Court Castle we had seen a number of venues but hadn't found the one. We decided to visit Hampton Court as a last minute option, but were amazed as we drove down towards the castle and throughout the visit as it was absolutely breathtaking. Lydia and Rob were fantastic throughout the planning stages. They were both very attentive to detail, responsive and flexible to meet our needs. During our whole wedding weekend both Lydia and Rob were so helpful to us and our guests. Nothing was ever too much. The food all weekend was fantastic

Dream wedding, dream venue, dream day!

This venue is simply magical, a dream come true for any couple wanting to get married somewhere beautiful and memorable. Worth every single penny and we would 100% recommend, if you can, book the Arkwright suit the the night before. Having that extra night of luxury allowed you to fully appreciate the castle and settle with your guests. The Pizzas the night before were “the best pizzas ever tasted” and the Bridal and Groom party could get to know each other better and created a super atmosphere. The rooms are simply amazing and immaculate. The bridal suite was bright and spacious (enough for plenty of ladies to get ready!) The grooms all stayed in rooms close to each other and although it was close enough for a quick dash to get something forgotten or put in the wrong room, the areas are separate enough for privacy of getting ready without fear of the other party seeing each other. They had loads of room too. You have a place for everyone during the reception, a place to sit, a space to dance, a bar to socialise. It’s a great size for maintaining an atmosphere. I am still waiting for official photos but there were so so many opportunities for fantastic photos - the garden, the stairs, the front of the castle, the court yard. I could write a book on how perfect this venue was and the staff were s

Hampton Court Castle was my dream wedding venue as a child and being able to make the dream a reality was an incredible experience. The impeccable grounds and rooms formed the perfect weekend and we were delighted to be blessed with incredible weather – the courtyard was the perfect spot for the ceremony but knowing we could use the chapel (also beautiful) if the weather did not hold gave us a huge level of comfort. The staff on the day were incredibly attentive and the whole weekend was a seamless experience.

We held our wedding at Hampton Court Castle over two days, September 1st & 2nd 2017. When we first decided to look for a suitable Castle venue, we visited Hampton Court Castle purely on a whim. Upon driving through the entrance, we were immediately captivated by the majesty of the Castle and the breathtaking natural beauty of the surrounding grounds and gardens. Once we viewed the interior facilities and met the staff, we were absolutely convinced that there was no other choice for our big day! Family and friends from around the world joined us on Friday for a complete medieval banquet in the atmospheric Coningsby Hall, catered entirely by the Hampton Court staff, which was absolutely amazing! The wedding festivities on the following day were everything we could have wished for. From the humanist ceremony in the beautiful, historic chapel, to the sumptuous reception in the garden and ballroom, and the photographs around the incredible grounds, we enjoyed a unique,
