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

Amazing venue for a wedding
The venue is stunning and great for couple photos, and the team were super helpful in getting it all organised and even helped us with the flowers on the morning of the wedding. The catering was also great with lots of rave reviews

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.

My Perfect Wedding Day
Rob, Lydia, Izzy and the rest of the team worked so hard to make our wedding day simply perfect. From the moment we contacted the team to every little request on the day, no ask was too big and the team did everything they could to make sure we had the most perfect, stress free day. The rooms were absolutely gorgeous, the staff all polite and helpful, the food was gorgeous and the castle was simply beautiful, it was the wedding venue of our dreams. Thank you for making our wedding day magical!

Thank you - thank you - thank you!
Just a note to say a huge thank you for all that you did to make Josh and Kaia's wedding day so memorable. We loved meeting you and so appreciated all your hard work in the run-up to their special day and at the event itself. Nothing was too much trouble, - (despite my many questions) - and you are a great team! Thank you - thank you - thank you! We keep reflecting on special moments throughout the day and we take away wonderful memories of a very happy and precious family occasion.

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.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Try and enjoy the planning process and not get too many others involved - it’s your day.

We spend a lot of time working through ideas and details to make sure their day flows well and everyone enjoys themselves. The venue itself is quite flexible, we have had weddings here in all seasons and the most stunning opportunities for photographs. We’re lucky to be able to host such amazing weddings.
