In a beautiful and dramatic setting such as Highclere Castle, your wedding day could be a real life experience as glamorous and magical as any depicted on Downton Abbey. Our dedicated team of friendly and professional staff are ready to help you with every detail to ensure you have the day you have dreamed of, made all the more memorable with stunning photographs in Jackdaws Castle, on the lawns and in the State Rooms. Highclere Castle is a perfect setting for the smaller more intimate wedding, whether for just the bridal couple or for a gathering of up to 30 close family and friends. Please note, we do only have very limited dates available due to our Castle event schedule. Please do contact the Castle office to discuss availability - the best times for weddings at Highclere are often in the Spring and Autumn.
Make a truly unforgettable entrance as you walk around the first floor Gallery above your guests, before descending the sweeping Oak Staircase into the Saloon, which sits at the very heart of the Castle. The Saloon is the room which is licensed for the civil marriage ceremony. We have a dedicated wedding coordinator here to help you plan your day, and be on-hand throughout.
Highclere Castle has a highly experienced, first class, in-house catering team. Working under the expert guidance of our talented chefs Robert Avery and William Perrins, our kitchen team prepare delicious menus of the highest quality, marrying only the best possible seasonal ingredients, to create exciting menu that continues the proud tradition for fine food, the hallmark of the Carnarvon family.
The Castle and surrounding Gardens are available to you exclusively for your special day, with stunning views across the Capability Brown designed landscape, follies and parkland.
