Berkeley Castle is available for weddings, offering a unique and historic venue for your special day.
The Great Hall, where your reception would be held, has been used for feasting since the 12th Century and many English kings and queens have sat at the high table here over the years - what better recommendation for a venue!
Berkeley Castle is pleased to announce that we now have a licence for Civil Wedding ceremonies.
Beautiful Reception Locations
In summer the terraced gardens – planted for scent as well as for beauty, and with views over the rolling countryside of the Berkeley Estate– are available for reception drinks.
Guests will have the freedom of the gardens and photographs can be taken here too.
In the winter months, the elegant Long Drawing Room is the perfect spot for drinks by a roaring fire. The Castle is available throughout the year, subject to other events and bookings.
Everything is Taken Care Of
The hire of the Castle for your wedding reception includes the following:
• Exclusive use of the Castle and gardens for the purposes of your reception.
• The Great Hall for the meal and dancing. A fire can be lit in the Great Hall during the winter season, depending on seating arrangements.
• Reception—drinks on arrival will be held in the Long Drawing Room or from the top terrace overlooking the meadows on a fine day.
• The Castle floodlit.
• Personnel for security and cloakroom duties.
• Free parking for all your guests.
• Guided tours for your guests, if required.
The maximum number which can be seated in the Great Hall is 128.
Catering
The Castle has a choice of three appointed caterers plus bar services.
Guided Tours
Short guided tours of the Castle are available for those guests who may be interested in the Castle and its history – we find most guests are delighted to have the opportunity to explore this ancient building. Tours must be pre-arranged with us in advance.
Anything Else?
We can also advise on local florists, horse-drawn carriages, musicians (perhaps you might like to be piped in to dinner?). Just ask and we will do our best to make your day extra special!
