My dream castle wedding came true
We had an intimate castle wedding with all the guests staying overnight in the castle! We are a couple residing overseas but Katie and her team did a wonderful job. All the communications were done online and Katie and her team always responded promptly. We just flew to the country once before the wedding. Everything on the day went so well and organised, staff were helpful and all our guests had a wonderful day. I would say we created a once-in-a-lifetime memory together with all our beloved guests! We are glad that we picked Leeds Castle!

Wonderful venue, great staff
My daughter got married in the Maiden Tower on a very wet and windy July Day. The venue, the suppliers they recommended and their incredible staff drove all thoughts of bad weather away. The setting is spectacular, the catering team were supberb, Chris is an absolute diamond and the team who worked with us all day and night were tireless in their attention to detail

Absolutely Fantastic Wedding
So we got married on Saturday at Battel Hall at Leeds Castle and I can honestly say, it was the most magical, romantic setting and was just perfect. Katie who I spoke with throughout the process was amazing and very thorough. I cannot recommend this venue enough, it is stunning. Thank you Katie from the newly wed Mr & Mrs Sutton xx

Thank you Leeds Castle!
Our wedding at Leeds Castle was a dream. The venue is magical. It is impossible to put the beauty of Leeds Castle and its grounds into words. And yet the event staff might have been the most impressive aspect of the wedding. Both the event coordination team and the catering team at Graysons helped make every moment run exceptionally smoothly. When we and our guests arrived via coach, an army of staff greeted us in the parking lot, picked up our luggage, helped us to our rooms, and then delivered our luggage. The staff met our every request, the entire weekend, with warm, eager-to-help attitudes. My father has health and mobility issues, and so they kindly shuttled him around the grounds via golf cart. On the wedding day itself, the staff was on the ball. From managing the ceremony, to assisting with the PA system, to serving a flawless, delicious wedding breakfast, to shuttling us around the property for photos, to hosting an evening BBQ (which was a huge hit), the service provided could not have been better. When we had last-minute requests the morning of the wedding, the staff took care of them immediately. And after the wedding, the catering team wouldn't let us help clean up -- they handled everything themselves. We should also add that we thought the pricing was consistently reasonable and transparent. Many of our guests told us this was the most beautiful wedding they had ever seen, and many others raved about how kind and helpful the staff was. We are forever grateful to the Leeds Castle team for coordinating such a perfect wedding.

An unbelievable and memorable wedding celebration
We wanted to say a massive thank you to all at Leeds Castle for an unbelievable & memorable weekend wedding celebration. All of the team at Leeds Castle were a really lovely bunch of people, I recently stayed in the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, the world’s only 7 star hotel and I can hand on heart say that the team at Leeds Castle provided equally as good service as they did. I'm looking forward to returning to Leeds Castle to take in the magnificence of the Castle & it's grounds.
