- SSarah & Chantelle22/04/2026Beyond our dreams - the most magical day Beyond our dreams - the most magical dayMy wife and I got married at Allington Castle on 30th August 2025 and it was truly one of the most special and magical days we could ever have imagined. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Kerrie was outstanding in helping us organise everything exactly as we needed, always supportive, responsive and completely on top of every detail. On the day itself, Jen was wonderful at making sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy every moment. A huge thank you also to Alfie, who was absolutely fantastic not only for the DJing and entertainment, but for going above and beyond with setting everything out and making the whole day feel seamless and personal. The security team on site, made sure that everyone was safe and only those invited attended, minimising any additional stress. Alongside this, thank you to everyone working on the bar in the evening, people have said how lovely you were! We were also so grateful for the team’s help the following day with packing everything up, which made such a difference and took away any stress. The venue itself is breathtakingly beautiful, with the surrounding grounds and wildlife adding to the magic. The swans were such a lovely touch and made the setting feel even more special. The team were also incredibly thoughtful in providing seating and support for guests with accessibility needs, which was hugely appreciated. Despite a few rain showers, the day went perfectly. All of our guests were completely in awe of the venue and the atmosphere, and we received so many compliments about how special the day was. We would highly recommend Allington Castle to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable and unique wedding venue.

Despite the fact that this beautiful castle has a limitless number of photo opportunities, the incredible feeling you have just by driving up to it really is the tip of the iceberg. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kerrie in developing our vision and she has gone above and beyond. No request was too much, and she was always quick to reply and reassure me with arrangements.We had our wedding here yesterday, and can I just say, you will not find a more dedicated team.
