Description
Description
Within the Castle grounds we are able to offer couples a choice of ceremonies and we will be pleased to take the time to discuss all of the available options.
St Mary’s Chapel, dating from the 15th Century, sits within the heart of the gardens and is the resting place of Katherine Parr, the last wife of King Henry VIII. The beautiful building has the most wonderful uplifting atmosphere and couples are able to have their blessing ceremony with around 140 happy guests.
We also have the Library - This small, private library is a treasure trove of fine art and priceless antiques and offers a perfect location for intimate civil ceremonies from between 2 and 50 guests.
We are also able to host outdoor ceremonies with the castle, gardens and ruins as your back drop.
Wedding breakfast
Within the Castle and grounds we are able to provide spacious dining and celebration areas with our new glass Orangery for up to 150 people. The historic Castle Coach House is then the perfect spot to dance the night away. For larger parties from 150 to 600, marquees can be positioned on our North Lawn, having its own stunning backdrop of the most photogenic castle and tithe barn ruins which can ‘wow’ your guests.
Personal Message from the Manager
Name of Wedding Contact: Annie Quinton Smith
Working at Sudeley Castle is a genuine pleasure. Being a family-owned business and historic house makes for the most unique and personal weddings which feel so inspiring. We only host a small number of weddings each year, meaning I get to know our couples and welcome them back for visits. I often walk around the gardens during the day and always find something new I have never seen before. It really is like stepping back in time.
