Looking for a wedding venue, then go no further
Our wedding was organized and assisted by the amazing Taylor in Castle Dargan. Dinner and decorations were great and the duty manager was good at ensuring all of our needs were met! All our guests agreed they had a lovely time and it was a wonderful venue. If you are looking for a wedding venue, then go no further, it is truly picturesque but the attention they spend to ensure you have a seamless day is amazing. It was perfect.

the BEST time from start to finish
We had our reception in Castle Dargan last weekend and we had the BEST time from start to finish. Management were excellent to deal with and we really felt listened to. Our guests all had a fantastic time and the feedback has been great. We were all allowed to relax and fully enjoy ourselves so we couldn't ask for much more. Special mention to Zoltan, Nathan, Taylor and chef Sonu.

Table Plans are one of the trickiest parts of wedding planning, I would always recommend for couples to begin working on this as soon as possible. When compiling your guest list, it can be great to work on a draft of your table plan at this time!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

Personalised Table Numbers are always a favourite, we have seen so many creative ideas with couples naming tables after places they've visited (even including photos) or having photos of the couple at each age corresponding with the table numbers.
