Sometimes, weddings can begin long before you met your sweetheart :)

Fast forward – You’ve found prince charming and now it’s time to be whisked away to a fairytale castle where you can be crowned king and queen. Historical landmarks inspire timeless feelings of romance, majesty, and elegance; transporting you and your guests to a bygone era for your wedding. These aristocratic venues pay homage to times gone by; where exquisite dinners and stately ballrooms replete with extravagantly dressed guests took precedence.

Estate Weddings

Having your wedding on an estate makes a definitive statement, it also sets the tone for the design of your event, creating a dignified atmosphere where couples can let the estate grounds be the decoration. Couples who want more design may opt for a vintage look, with floral and wedding designs reflecting baroque and renaissance era styles.

Mansion Weddings

Mansions offer a more intimate experience, allowing brides and bridegrooms the opportunity to relish their event in a beautiful residence, allowing the natural flow and character of the place influence the event.

Castle Weddings

Castles, however, take everything to a grand scale. Wedding celebrations at these venues can typically accommodate huge guest volume as well as grandiose amenities: ballrooms, reception halls, and rooms and acres of extravagance and luxury. Guests, and perhaps your own wedding party might think that you are royalty, after all.

These large venues provide exceptional opportunities for you and your guests to not only enjoy the wedding ceremony itself but also permit intricate after party details. With multiple rooms, and sometimes multiple wings, estates and castles have plenty of room for different bars, food stations, and activities. You could have live performances in one section of the estate, an outdoor cocktail reception in another, and an area for children to convene and relax.

Variety is the spice of life, and having a venue where you can cater to as many activities as there are guests is a great way to create happy memories for everyone in attendance. Fairytale marriages begin with a fairytale wedding. See how you can start planning for yours.
