- AAllison and Simon28/09/2025The most amazing day!The most amazing day!We got married at Battel Hall, an intimate wedding venue on the Leeds Castle estate. It suited us so well, it's beautiful and full of character. We chose to get married outside under the 'Bower' but ceremonies can also take place inside. It was perfect as we and our guests could stay there for 3 nights, so it felt very comfortable and the accommodation was outstanding. We were able to dress it personally for the wedding with beautiful floristry. The venue is intimate with both inside and outside seating areas. We had so many compliments on our choice of venue, some stating it was the best wedding they'd ever been to!We got married at Battel Hall, an intimate wedding venue on the Leeds Castle estate.

- RRyl & Yui16/11/2024My dream castle wedding came true My dream castle wedding came trueWe 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.

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!

- AAnita & James19/06/2024Thank you Leeds Castle! 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.Our wedding at Leeds Castle was a dream. The venue is magical.
