Hedingham Castle

An unforgettable day, made possible by the staff at Hedingham Castle. Guests have not stopped commenting on how beautiful the grounds, the castle, the house, and the marque was. Thank you so much to everyone who made the day run smoothly, and a

We honestly could not have wished for a more perfect wedding day at Hedingham Castle on 22.05.26. From start to finish, everything was absolutely incredible and exceeded all of our expectations. The venue itself is stunning, but what truly made the day so special was the amazing team behind it. A huge special thank you to Sarah and Amanda, who were both absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process. Amanda coordinated our day so perfectly and made everything run so smoothly, allowing us to completely relax and enjoy every single moment. Their support, organisation and kindness meant the world to us. We also want to give a special mention to Jenny for taking such wonderful care of us in the cottage — nothing was ever too much trouble and she made us feel so comfortable and looked after. Our guests are still talking about how magical the whole day was. We are so grateful to everyone at Hedingham Cast

I wish I could give more than five stars! We truly had the best day of our lives at Hedingham Castle. The venue really has something for everyone, from the most beautiful grounds to the incredible atmosphere. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about how stunning the location is and how special the whole day felt. A huge thank you to the amazing team as well. Sarah, who helped with the planning, and Debbie on the day, were absolutely outstanding. Everyone working there was so kind, helpful, and went above and beyond to make everything perfect. They made the entire process feel easy and stress-free, which meant we could truly r

We had the best day of our lives at Hedingham Castle. As wedding venues go, this one truly is breathtaking and unique. The combination of the ceremony at the castle, drinks reception in the grounds of the manor house and wedding breakfast/evening in the marquee is impossible to beat. From start to finish, the staff were helpful, professional, friendly and attentive. We visited several times during the wedding planning process, spoke through all of our choices and Sarah helped us craft a wedding that was personal to us, with loads of advice and helpful input. They also responded quickly to emails whenever I needed which helped make the process stress free. On the day, Jack

I cannot fault Heddingham in any way. From our very first visit, we were looked after by the team in every way. Everyone was so friendly, very understand and accommodating of requirements or any last minute changes. The venue itself is stunning. We used the castle for our intimate wedding and every guest commented on just how stunning the castle was and it made for a magical ceremony and reception/meal. The on site accommodation in the cottage, lodge and Royal Chamber is also incredible and the perfect place to stay with our entire family on our special day. I cou

Our whole day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The team at Hedingham were exceptionally helpful, generous with their time, and accomodating to make sure we got exactly the day we wanted. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and we couldn't have asked for a better backdrop for our special day. The team provided us with everything we needed and helped us with all the planning, and they thought of absolutely everything (including a lot that I'm sure we'd have missed without them!), even providing us with a list of recommended vendors to make our search so much easier.

We could not speak more highly of Hedingham as a wedding venue. Whilst the keep, the house, the gardens all speak for themselves, what really sets Hedingham apart is the excellence of the planning team. From day 1, Sarah was exceptional, working with us both to understand what we hoped to achieve, and finding solutions with calm reassurance - we never felt like there were any obstacles that couldn’t be overcome. During the wedding weekend, Jackie and Debbie were the perfect balance of attentive and discrete, helping guide along both the hog roast on Friday night, and the main wedding on Saturday. The wider staff were excellent, working tirelessly to keep guests fed and watered. Andy’s guided tour of the Keep was informative and fun, engaging both the children and the adults, would definitely recommend (probably better on the Friday with the smaller number of guests). Over

The whole team at Hedingham Castle were exceptional from the moment I first made contact to enquire, to the moment we left the castle the following morning. They accommodated every request I made to make our wedding day the most magical experience any one could ever imagine. We had a small intimate ceremony with canapes for our guests, followed by a private meal for just the two of us and it was possibly the most wonderful food we have ever had and the chef was incredible. The whole team made sure everything ran so smoothly on the day. We stayed overnight in the royal chamber and what an incredible experience this was. The views were beautiful, and the breakfast was wonderful the followin

We wanted something a little unique for our wedding and the moment we stepped into the castle we knew this was the place for us. The history of the Keep speaks for itself and can imagine what it was like hundreds of years ago, it still has that feeling and we felt like we were stepping back hundreds of years into the realms of Henry VIII . Sarah, who takes care of the weddings is just incredibly knowledgeable. All the weird and wonderful questions we asked she knew the answer immediately. If this lady doesn’t know then it’s not worth knowing. Super helpful and supportive and efficient in every way. On the day of set up our ladies were there helping us out and relieving any last minute stresses. We left feeling 100% confident of what was happening. The day was superb. Help in the cottage getting ready, timings perfect and all tidy after the whirlwind of getting ready when we got back meter that night. The lodge was a godsend for family to stay and relax before and after and saved so much faffing looking for accommodation. The Day …… it was a perfected military style operation and I felt so calm and relaxed and didn’t have to think about anything it was all taken care of even to the tiniest detail of arranging my dress train on the stairs and getting to the aisle at the right time. I wish I could relive the whole day again it

We had such a lovely experience with this venue. The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout the whole process. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and everything was set up exactly as we had requested. It was also a really good price for such a stunning location with everything included in the package. We used Splinters Catering and they were amazing. The food was absolutely delicious and received so many compliments from our guests. We stayed in the Royal Chamber, which was beautiful and provided an amazing end to the night and a wonderful start to our marriage. Our only small issue was that our guests could not get any reception food or drinks until after our photos, and we felt a bit rushed during that time. I even forgot to get a couple of group shots I had planned. We had scheduled around an hour to 1.5 hours for our reception drinks, and I would suggest allowing a bit longer to avoid the rush. The team work

Who doesn’t dream of getting married in a castle? You can’t get better than Hedingham. The Georgian Manor House and marquee are amazing as well, a real journey through time. We knew it was the venue for us when we were first shown round. Our guests were so impressed, saying it was magical. The team: Sarah, Amanda and Jenny were brilliant. Super responsive and we met twice at our wedding planning meetings. They know how to do weddings so you’ll be in safe hands.

Hedingham Castle is THE best wedding venue. From the minute we arrived on our first visit, we knew it was the right venue for us, not only because it's absolutely gorgeous, but because the package is so comprehensive, the staff are so thorough, and it's excellent value for money. In the lead up, we had multiple visits, zoom calls, and emails guiding us through the process, with the team coming back to us immediately with clear information and answers to our questions. We couldn't believe how helpful the staff were on the day and how much care they put into our special day! They made us feel so relaxed about the whole process, so cared for and looked after, and just couldn't appreciate their kindness and thoughtfulness more. So many of our guests commented that they've never seen venue staff be so helpful, thinking of things we might need and just getting them done before we've even thought of it, and adding touches of decor wherev

We had the most amazing wedding day at Hedingham castle! The staff could not have been more helpful in creating our perfect day! The venue is stunning and all our g

Hedingham Castle is a beautiful venue steeped in history, with an amazing team who work tirelessly to ensure the most perfect day and whom we cannot thank enough. Amanda, Sarah, and the rest of the team are so easy to work with, even though we were planning from Luxembourg and not able to just pop in whenever. We had lots of zoom calls and video tours, and we felt like we were in very capable hands. They gave us lots of invaluable advice to help cut unnecessary costs and we never felt like they were out to upsell us or anything like that, whereas some venues we'd visited did give us that impression. They've clearly been doing this forever and love what they do. Everything felt so easy that we were honestly starting to get stressed about the fact that we weren't stressed. For suppliers, we went down the list of recommended suppliers on Hedingham's website and just booked straight down the list, with the exception of one (a mobile petting zoo). It makes everything so much easier when the suppliers know each other really well and have worked at the venue many times before, and they are all incredible talented, lovely people. We barely had to do anything to coordinate and just let them do what they do best. Hedingham has two in-house caterers and couples must choose one of them. We went with Splinters and ordered canapés, a choice menu, and pork baps with chips for the evening food. The portion sizes were huge and so so tasty, the options are extensive, and everyone loved the food. The catering staff on the day had everyone's orders memorised and were so kind and professional. I'm sure the other caterers are just as good, so it's a question of individual taste, and a testament to the fact that Hedingham's suppliers are just that professional and experienced. We had lots of guests flying in from the United States, but this was not an issue as we were able to book The Lodge on site, which sleeps seventeen people, as well as The Cottage, which sleeps four and doubles up as the getting-ready room, so we were able to provide my American family with a place to sleep both the night before and the night of the wedding at a very reasonable cost. We opted to sleep in the Royal Chamber after the wedding which is 100% worth it. Setting up the day before was super easy, and because the venue is so beautiful it really doesn't require much decoration. You get exclusive use of what are basically three gorgeous venues in one (the Keep, the Georgian House, and the Marquee) which provides a lot of movement and flow on the day and avoids the problem of guests standing around waiting for something to happen. Hedingham is also the only venue we visited that had a separate dance floor hidden behind a curtain, so there's no need to ferry everyone out after dinner while tables are moved. Everything is well thought-out and coordinated seamlessly. On the actual day of the wedding, absolutely nothing went wrong, and if it did, we never found out. As the bride, I stayed in the Cottage and got ready there, where breakfast was made available (at an extra cost, but really worth it) and we even had the nice surprise of a member of staff (thank you, Sharon!) who introduced herself as our runner and was there to help out if there was anything that needed to be done. From getting ready, to the ceremony, to the drinks reception, to the breakfast, to speeches and dancing, our day was 100% stress free. This is even though I'd had unplanned knee surgery just a few days before and couldn't walk very well. Everyone at Hedingham was amazing and so, so helpful. We got so many compliments afterwards about how our wedding at Hedingham was one of the best weddings that many of our guests had ever been to, and it genuinely was one of the happiest days of our lives. My only "regret" is that the day went by so quickly, so we'll have to go back for another night in the Royal Chamber and to enjoy the many events they put on at the Castle! We cannot recommend Hedingham Castle enough. From start to finish, they make sure you will have THE most perfe

My partner & I got married here 7th September 2024. From start to finish, the entire process was made seamless by the amazing team at Hedingham. Sarah && her team work tirelessly to help you bring your wedding ideas & dreams to fruition and I genuinely cannot recommend the venue enough. Any & all requests, no matter how trivial were undertaken with immense attention to detail & professionalism. Our guests were truly taken aback at the sheer beauty & uniqueness of the venue and have commented on multiple occasions as to just how amazing the entire day was - this would not have been possible without the wonderful team. Hedingham's trusted partnership suppliers are also wonderful (Lewis Cabuche, Limeberry to name a couple) and are very reasonably priced. I urge you to book this wonderful place for your special day if you are considering it - you will not regret it. Alice & Charlie
