We had always dreamed of having a wedding somewhere beautiful, historic and truly special, and Leeds Castle was everything we could have hoped for. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, but what made the whole experience even better was the team. We planned the wedding ourselves with no previous experience, so at the beginning we were quite nervous about whether we could manage everything. From our first viewing through to the wedding day, the Leeds Castle team were always professional, friendly and very helpful. They supported us through every stage of the planning, answered our questions quickly and helped us with all the small details. We always felt that our ideas and requests were listened to and taken seriously. The package they offered us also worked really well within our budget, and having our wedding at Leeds Castle was worth every penny. Everything on the wedding day ran very smoothly. The team worked really well with our caterers and florist, and both we and our guests felt very well looked after. Our guests who stayed overnight at the Castle also had a wonderful experience and really enjoyed the hospitality. A special thank you to Katie, who supported us throughout the whole planning process. She was always quick to respond, gave us very useful advice and often thought ahead about things we had not considered ourselves. For us and our guests, the whole experience was tr

A castle wedding was always our dream, and Leeds Castle delivered! During every stage of the planning process, the team at Leeds Castle provided the best guidance and support, you truly felt you were in good hands. On the day, the events management team was outstanding and took exceptional care of us and all our guests - every detail was flawless, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. The whole occasion was everything we dreamed of, and it honestly felt so perfect that we wish we

When we visited the Leeds Castle grounds looking for a wedding venue, it was love at first sight for us. We knew instantly this had to be our wedding location. The staff were very friendly and showed us around the different options and locations and explained their pricing range. We felt well prepared to make a decision. In the end we chose the Maiden's tower for our wedding ceremony and the Fairfax barn for our wedding breakfast with Graysons (on-site vendors) catering the meal. The process leading up to the wedding was mostly smooth and the assigned coordinator was always on hand to answer questions and give us support. The entire team were fairly easy to get hold of, well knowledgeable in the ins and outs and always willing to have a discussion to resolve any issues. On the day, we were met with nothing but professionalism. From the golf cart drivers who were there to support our less mobile guests and help carry all our luggage, to the staff catering the day (Nan was extra happy with the care she received), to the evening staff, everything was smooth and easy. Our guests were left extremely happy, complimenting the day and the service received. The guests who also stayed overnight, were overenjoyed with their rooms and the castle

We had an amazing wedding at Leeds Castle back in May. The whole team from beginning to end were fantastic, and the day was made effortless. The organisation of all of our guests, those staying and those not, was seamless. Katie's calm and professional demeanour helped in the leadup and nothing was too much effort to put us at ea

We got married at Battel Hall, an intimate wedding venue on the Leeds Castle estate. The contact from Leeds Castle was excellent before the wedding and they provided an Event Manager on the day to ensure everything ran smoothly. It suited us so well, it's beautiful and full of character. We chose to get married outside under the 'Bower' but ceremonies can also take place inside. It was perfect as we and our guests could stay there for 3 nights, so it felt very comfortable and the accommodation was outstanding. We were able to dress it personally for the wedding with beautiful floristry. The venue is intimate with both i

We had the most amazing wedding day. Nathan and I cannot thank Chloe and the whole team enough. Chloe was amazing from when I first met her on the day right to the end, she helped us keep on time and kept me relaxed. The staff made sure we had help at every stage and everything was set up perfectly. On the lead up to

Choosing Maiden's Tower at Leeds castle as our wedding venue was more than we could have imagined it too be... nothing was too much to ask for from both the Leeds castle team (especially Katie the coordinator, castle Chris and chloe) along with the in house catering team Grayson's (especially catering manager Amanda and chef Taz). Leeds castle is an amazing venue for not only the history behind it but also giving the most stunning scenery for the most beautiful photos 😍 . Well worth every penny spent and if we were to do it all over again we would definitely choose the same venue. Family and friends are so used to going to events and all the comments that came back is that they had never b

What can I say this is just the most exceptional venue to hold your nuptials the backdrop is just spectacular. We booked Leeds just over a year ago and the coordination has been just top notch Katie Amanda and their teams just know exactly what you need as support I didn't worry about any of the detail because I knew it was all taken care of from the initial planning meeting to the day itself nothing was too much trouble. The planning meeting and tastings were lovely experiences and on the day the staff literally couldn't do anymore nothing was too much trouble. They made my whole wedding experience stress free I cannot recommend them highly enough, we looked at a few other venues and actually when we broke the cost down they were very good value for what we got, plus we got to get married in the most beautiful castle, stay overnight in the castl

The whole day was just amazing from start to finish. couldn’t find fault anywhere. The food, the drinks, the staff, the place, the grounds, the feel, the service! Literally everything was fantastic. We have truly made magical, family memories, on what was a very emotional day. Many thanks again for all your support, help and professionalism; Katie and Amanda have been lovely to work with and the Castle manager Dave Cummins was fantastic. Worth every penny. We cannot wait to come back to stay at the castle again and visit the grounds with our children.
