As the wedding industry continues to evolve, we pride ourselves as being a venue that stands out from the rest. Standing guard over the market town of Tonbridge in Kent, Tonbridge Castle, with its rich heritage, scenic setting and panoramic views from the battlements, is a timeless testament to history and romance.
Dating back to the 11th century, the castle makes an enchanting wedding venue, with ancient stone walls encircling 14 acres of picturesque grounds from which stunning views of the River Medway and the town can be enjoyed.
At Tonbridge Castle, the dedicated team understands that every couple is unique. From the moment you step foot on the castle grounds, experienced staff will guide you through the planning process, ensuring no detail is overlooked. Our exceptional service extends to your wedding day, where staff will be on hand to ensure that everything runs smoothly, allowing you to relax and enjoy every precious moment.
The castle's versatile wedding rooms can accommodate weddings of varying sizes and styles. If you’re looking for an intimate wedding that still makes a statement, the Great Hall is ideal with its high medieval walls and dramatic lighting, it really is a fairytale setting. The prestigious 18th Century Chamber Room offers a larger space for more guests. Positioned in the manor house with plenty of natural light, the full height doors open directly onto the castle lawn.
No matter which room you book, you’ll have full access to the castle for your wedding photography. This includes the beautiful Bailey Lawn or motte and you can even climb to the top of the castle for a breathtaking backdrop overlooking the surrounding landscape that stretches for miles.
From the castle's ancient architecture to its beautiful grounds, every corner of this historic venue provides the perfect setting, creating endless photo opportunities ensuring that your wedding album and Instagram is filled with unforgettable moments.
