We had such an amazing, unforgettable day thanks to Darver’s team
We celebrated our big day in Darver Castle early September. We had such an amazing, unforgettable day thanks to Darver’s team. From the second I arrived on site that morning, I was greeted by the lovely Ruth and looked after by the team whilst myself and my bridal party got ready in the parlour. We then had our ceremony in the stunning ceremony room on site at Darver. After the ceremony we greeted our guests at the castle entrance and then off for photos in the stunning gardens! The staff in Darver are two steps ahead at all times, you don’t have to worry about a single thing once you arrive. Food was also amazing, all of our guests were praising their meals!! We highly recommend Darver for your big day and would like to thank all the staff who looked after us on ours. A special thank you to Anne for helping us plan our wedding in the 2 year lead up to the big day. We look forward to visiting Darver some time soon to relive our memories of our special day. Kind regards, Mr & Mrs Roger

From start to finish the staff were absolutely amazing
We had our wedding at Darver Castle in October 2023 and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue. From start to finish the staff were absolutely amazing - we didn’t have to worry about anything they were able to guide us through the whole day. The food was absolutely amazing - all of our guests have raved about how good the food was and how perfect the venue was. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue - the most cosy, homey and amazing wedding venue

Darver castle is a perfect venue to get Married
Darver castle is a perfect venue to get Married, we attended a wedding this weekend and was blown away by the grounds it is set in, as you come up the drive straight away you feel like you are somewhere special, it has beautiful kept gardens, perfect to take those wedding photos. We stayed in one of the cottage Rooms and the rooms were perfectly clean and had everything you need in there. The check in staff we so efficient and was hands down the fastest check in I ever had. The wedding day was perfect! The venue has a wedding room specifically for the ceremony and was beautifully decorated, as was everywhere. The Venue is very well run by the owners who are around but the managers have it all under control, they were attentive to all our needs. I would recommend this venue to any of my friends and family as would love to go back for thier 5 star service xx
