Highcliffe Castle

The team at Highcliffe castle put so much effort into our wedding. The staff were so friendly and helpful in the lead-up and everything ran perfectly to plan on the day. We would like to particularly thank Teri, our main contact at the venue, for all her help and support. The venue

We had the most amazing wedding at Highcliffe Castle. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and everything ran seamlessly thanks to the fantastic team. Our only disappointment was feeling rushed after the ceremony, which meant we didn’t get all the photos we’d hoped for

We had our incredible wedding at Highcliffe Castle on 30/05/2026, and it was everything we could have asked for and more. The venue was absolutely beautiful, and they even seemed to arrange the perfect weather for us! The whole process was smooth from start to finish. The team really listened to what we wanted and helped bring our vision to life. A special thank you to Teri, who was brilliant throughout and made everything so easy for us. We couldn’t have wished for a better

Getting married in a castle is an absolute dream, everything about it is stunning

Cannot recommend this venue enough!! It was such a dream come true to get married at Highcli

We had the most incredible wedding at Highcliffe Castle in September. From day one, all of the staff were extremely helpful and professional; ensuring that our day would run as smoothly as possible. The venue is absolutely stunning and even though it rained Gracie had coordinated everything so that I would not get wet when arriving, our drinks would be held inside and everything was organised. We were actually pleased it had rained because we have the most stunning pictures inside the Winter Garden and managed to get beautiful pictures on the beach after our wedding breakfast. All of our guests commented on how amazing the staff were as they were available at any time to help,

Highcliffe castle stood out to us immediately when we visited. The most gorgeous location by the beach, meticulously looked after grounds and a stunning venue that wowed our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue! Gracie and her team were so professional looked after us throughout the whole wedding planning, helping with all questions and giving us advice. The day was perfect! The team were so polite and kind to our guests. Nothing was too much! We felt at ease the whole day and able to relax and enjoy it knowing that the time at Highcliffe had ever

I can’t fault a single aspect of Highcliffe Castle, from the enquiry and booking process to the day itself they really are experts in what they do but with a down to earth, relaxed atmosphere. The venue is one I’ve always had my eye on but seeing it in person is just breath-taking, every room in the castle itself is unique and beautiful so it feels like a much larger venue and means you don’t have to travel to multiple venues to get everything you need. For us, having the beach on the doorstep was incredible too for those dusk beach pictures! The team at the castle are truly 5*, Gracie was on hand ahead of the day for any questions and the rehearsal the night before was incredibly helpful. They ensure everything on the day runs smoothly and organise all suppliers so you feel like a guest at your own wedding. It rained on our wedding day which in the lead up was something I was so anxious about but the castle is so beautiful and atmospheric in the rain and with the multiple rooms you really didn’t feel like anything was missing due to the weather. The highcliffe castle team sheltered me with umbrellas getting out of the car so I arrived dry at the ceremony and they were so attentive all day. Everything ran on time and the guests all commented on the incredible ve

Gracie and the team made our day a breeze. She was happy to help us from the moment we expressed interest in the venue and made booking our wedding day from overseas easy. she was always just an email away. On the wedding day, Gracie was there ready for us as we arrived and helped get folks settled. The day ran wit

We had our ceremony at Highcliffe castle and we absolutely loved the venue. The rehearsal the day before was very helpful and informative. The staff are very experienced and keep everything running smoothly, they provided nothing but reassurance and a smile. I would highly recommend having your wedding here, the fact that the cafe and shop are accessible to the public did not phase me in

We had an absolutely wonderful wedding at Highcliffe! The venue itself is beautiful, with such a lovely view of the sea and easy access to the beach. The flow of the wedding rooms works well, with the ceremony in the winter garden, drinks outside, and then the three evening rooms providing a lovely transition for our guests between the dance floor, the bar and where we ate being transformed into a quieter area for our older guests near the evening food. All of the staff were so helpful from the initial visit to the day itself. Unlike some other venues, we did not feel pressured or upsold during the initial visit, and everything was presented to us in a straightforward and simple manner. Throughout the planning process, we had helpful and timely communication with Gracie and the rest of the team, who were still answering queries on the morn

We got married here in August 2024 and it was absolutely perfect. We looked at a lot of venues but when we visited this one we easily knew it was the one. It’s a castle on the beach… you can’t really ask for much more than that! Everyone was complimenting it and saying how beautiful and picturesque it was. We had our reception in the Great Hall which was amazing with the giant stained glass window. The day ran really smoothly and Alex was so kind and calming, it really helped to do a wedding rehearsal a few days before as we then all felt very confident on the day - most venues don’t offer that service. One of the things we liked most about the venue (apart from the obvious beauty of it) was that it was one of the only venues we looked at that didn’t up the prices for the booking/the food because it was the summer and because it was a Saturday, I think Highcliffe is much fairer and much better value for money than the vast majority of wedding venues. We also loved that there were separate rooms for the ceremony, the dance floor and the reception so you feel like you’re getting your moneys worth rather than spending a fortune to be in one tiny room all day, but at the same time the venue isn’t too big that you feel like your guests are dispersing all over the place and you’re not together

Our wedding ceremony in the castle was an absolute dream come true. The venue was nothing short of magical, with its stunning architecture and breathtaking views and grounds, the perfect romantic setting. Walking down the aisle in such a historic and beautiful place felt like living in a fairytale. The enti

Gracie and the team were utterly fantastic from day 1 of us visiting, all the way through to our wedding day. We felt really taken care of and they made the Castle look so beau

Myself and my husband couldn’t have asked for a better venue. Highcliffe castle was just breath taking the views and the most wonderful rooms all with its unique quirky features. The planning process was smooth and seamless making sure not a single detail was forgotten. Honestly I couldn’t recommend the castle more the team were impeccable. Grace made me feel so comfortable and made sure the day ran perfectly. One of my guests commented “they couldn’t have been greeted any better” by having her card collected straight away, not having to worry about it during the day this demonstrated from the get go the organisation was key from the very start. The day was magical and we couldn’t have asked for more of a perfect fairytale wedding. We are looking forward to returning on our first year anniversary to walk the grounds and the beach. We couldn’t thank you all enough!🏰🥂🍾
