Picture perfect day

The castle is the most spectacular and impressive venue for a wedding. However, despite its size, you're made to feel completely at home. Waking up in the bridal suite there, on your wedding day, is a feeling that cannot be replicated. Rob, Lydia and Izzy were fantastic throughout the whole planning process, and the wedding itself. No ask was too much trouble and they made sure the wedding ran smoothly and to time. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone wanting a true fairytale wedding.

Best day, absolutely amazing venue

Hampton court castle was the venue of dreams. We had the most amazing day with Lydia, Izzy and Rob guiding us throughout the day. Nothing was too much trouble for them to ensure the day ran smoothly, they truly went above and beyond. They accommodated all requests. They sorted everything seemlessly It was a beautiful setting as well. I was set on a courtyard wedding but due to rain we switched to the chapel and it was still so good! Stunning photos, but obviously meant planning seating etc made it harder (it is quite tight up front) and tight for our guests seated (we had 100 guests). The Hereford registrars are amazing as well. The castle was stunning and our guests were amazed by all of it. The different rooms to explore, the castle armoury, the bedrooms! It was incredible!!! You can have 50 ish guests stay overnight and it was such an experience for us (and them!) The food was delicious and the gardens for photos were stunning. We had Scott Stockwell as our photographer who has done Hampton Court Castle so many times that it was like he was part of the staff, knowing how the castle worked, even helping coordinate the fireworks! The only thing challenging was the wedding portal, it wasn’t user friendly and actually changed our vegetarian starter (which if I had checked more thoroughly the wedding summary I would’ve spotted, but didn’t think to check it!). Its very difficult to add guests and took a lot of time to do all the requests guest input. Izzy did help with some of the vendor guest uploading though, but even still, I wasn’t a fan of the portal. Everything about the day was perfect, and even weeks later at another family wedding, people were talking about ours! If you’re wanting a fairytale wedding that leaves an impression, this is it!!!!

Best day of my life! The Hampton Court Castle team were amazing!

Joseph and I got married the weekend just gone (5/10/24) and I could not recommend Hampton Court Castle as a wedding venue any more! From the moment we viewed the venue to the sunday after our wedding the team have gone above and beyond to ensure everything went to plan and to answer every question I had no matter how small. We moved to Australia 6 months before the wedding and communication was outstanding, making everything seamless for me as the bride. Over the wedding weekend the staff were all incredible and all the details had been well thought out. Our guests absolutely loved the venue and the uniqueness of the castle and all the bedrooms. I want to do it all again!

Truly amazing day

Hampton court castle is a stunning venue… the planners are so responsive and made it all easy through the use of the wedding portal. Everything ran so smoothly on the day and so many of our guests complimented the team. We hired the garden games and it was definitely worth it for the kids and big kids there. Bedrooms were all stunning and guests were able to check in early to lots of them which was a lovely touch. Our only constructive feedback is that the vegetarian main meal looked and tasted very different to the original tasting we had and the flowers the next day were not all returned to us (only table displays & one small display) which was a shame.

Our dream came true at Hampton Court Castle!

We had the absolute pleasure of getting married at Hampton Court Castle, and it was nothing short of PERFECT. Ours was the first Brazilian wedding at the venue, and even though the culture and traditions are different, the team—Rob, Lydia, and Izzy—helped us with every single detail, no matter how small. They were incredibly supportive, always responding to emails, welcoming us to visit the venue as many times as we needed, and consistently happy to assist. The venue itself is breathtaking. We truly felt like royalty in the castle, and our friends and family, especially those who traveled from Brazil, were completely amazed by everything. After the celebration, we were able to stay overnight with some of our friends and family, and the rooms were just as incredible as the castle itself. It was an unforgettable day—by far the best of our lives. Without a doubt, we plan to celebrate our anniversaries here for years to come. Thank you, Hampton Court Castle, for making our dream wedding a reality!

Just perfect!!!

We got married in June 2024 at Hampton Court Castle and I cannot recommend it enough. We saw 5+ venues, researched dozens but as soon as we saw the Castle in person, we knew it was the perfect venue. Our guests who traveled from all over the country and the world (literally) were dazzled. It's honestly magical and everything we dreamed of. The venue itself is stunning, photos don't do it justice. The bedrooms are amazing, and it makes a big difference having friends/family being able to stay on the night of. The catering is so good, we got so many compliments on the deliciousness, quality and portion sizes. Honestly, if you're looking for a castle like venue - just go for Hampton Court Castle! I also cannot praise the team enough - Rob, Lydia and Izzy answered all our stupid questions during the planning phase, supported us with our requests and were so helpful. We did our own flowers and decorations and they were so accomodating - Rob was an absolute hero in the morning chaos and the day after allowing us to enjoy our special day!

The best weekend of our lives - the dream venue

My wife and I had our wedding at HCC in July 2024. We had a highly international group of guests who have been to amazing weddings across the world - they still said ours was the best or one of the best weddings they have ever been to. The Hampton Court castle venue, food, staff all wowed British and non British guests alike. The team's professionalism was amazing - they were SO helpful, in the run up to the day but especially the day itself. The food was wonderful - "the best i've had at a wedding" was a common refrain. HCC's suppliers can be trusted highly - fireworks, photographer, flowers, DJ were all highly professional, high quality, and lovely people to work with. Above all else the venue is simply incredible. Especially if you have international guests, they will be talking about this for the rest of your lives.

A true fairytale day

The most amazing day we could have ever imagined. Rob and the team looked after us from start to finish. They are all very experienced and have a real passion and care for what they do. This came through in spades. The castle is just stunning, around every corner is something new and grand to wow you. It really needs to be seen to be believed. I would highly encourage couples to book a viewing. It's so helpful having a venue that takes care of so much. It was all in one place. The getting ready, the service, the meal, the dancing, >20 bedrooms. It took so much of the stress away for us. On the morning after we had breakfast and then we took the family around the gardens and the maze. It was a wonderful way to finish off the celebrations. A big big thank you to all the team that made the day run so magically. Nat and Dan

Outstanding venue, outstanding team

Cannot thank Lydia, Rob and the team enough for giving us the most perfect day we could have asked for. The venue is so spectacular, and the grounds added so much more to the guests' expereince as well. Every step of the process was super straightforward and well managed, and the team on the day were super helpful, proactive and an all round pleasure to work with. Would recommend to anyone looking for a magical, memorable wedding.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Hampton Court Castle?

A gorgeous couple from Brazil, the bride was Brazilian and the groom English. It was such a romantic wedding and the weather for the ceremony in the Castle Courtyard couldn’t have been better. They had lots of live music, including a small band playing in the Arkwright Courtyard after the meal on the Friday night. There were lots of little Brazilian touches with gorgeous flowers and colours. They made really good use of the venue and had great guests. It was such a fun wedding to be part of.
