Wadhurst Castle Unique Castle, Gardens and Barn - Wedding and Events Venue in East Sussex

Office opening hours :Tue

For almost 200 years Wadhurst Castle in East Sussex has been a closely guarded secret. A family home with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, it is now opening its doors for couples looking for a unique wedding venue. Built in the Regency period between 1818 and 1820, the castle commands magnificent panoramic views of the beautiful Sussex countryside, providing a stunning backdrop for weddings and c

ivil partnership ceremonies. Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Wadhurst Castle is the ultimate romantic venue. In winter, the castle provides a beautiful and cosy setting, with a choice of three rooms to hold the ceremony. The intimacy of the Moncrieff Room, or the Victorian charm of the Winter Garden, with its ever changing display of exotic plants, are ideal for smaller weddings; while the grandeur of the Drawing Room works well for larger numbers. In summer, the landscaped gardens burst to life and the newly restored Walled Garden is a magical place to exchange vows. Available for exclusive use hire, all aspects can be tailored to individual tastes – from flowers and décor to the catering and entertainment – providing a beautiful canvas to create the perfect day.

How was Sam & Shona's Wedding at Wadhurst Castle almost a month ago? Tomorrow I'm back there for another gorgeous wedding but we won't be as lucky as these two with the sunny weather they had on 10th May. .pither & chose a personalised ceremony with two touching readings from family members, a retelling of their love story, a Beatles singalong, and a handfasting, as they tied the knot in the Walled Garden. The smiles on their faces say it all, but they left me a wonderful review too! 💐🌷🪷🌸

"Katie was a fantastic choice as independent celebrant for our May wedding. She's warm, calm and approachable, and extremely knowledgeable. What really stands out is her communication and organisation; it's impeccable, and immediately puts you at ease. Her delivery of the ceremony was excellent. The tone was great and a huge amount of detail went into calibrating a service that captured us so well. Katie is very highly recommended." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks to a fabulous team on the day:
