The West Wing Is one of our most popular locations at the castle for capturing those tender moments on your wedding day.

Full of natural light, from the large bow window, guests can see the beauty of the southeast coast. The West Drawing Room was added during the castle's restoration by architect Sir Robert Lorimer. The wood-panelling stone fireplace adds to the ambiance, making it perfect for your photos.⁠

Their presence felt like peace on this special day. Love isn’t just something you feel—it’s something you know deep in your soul.

Some say love is destiny, others say it’s a choice. But when you find the right person, you realize… it’s both. 🤍✨

May your journey together be filled with beautiful moments. Cheers to Drew and Nick forever! 🥂

From happy tears to last-minute fixes, we want our guests and couples to be fully prepared for a wedding at our venue. Although our wedding team provides everything a couple needs for their perfect day, having these little things makes a big difference. 💍✨ Here are the must-have wedding essentials you’ll be glad to have on hand.

Safety Pins

These are wedding day essentials, ready to save the day in countless ways. From last-minute wardrobe malfunctions—like a broken zipper, loose hem, or slipping dress strap—to securing veils, boutonnieres, and even a broken shoe strap, these tiny tools are lifesavers. They can also help fix a torn bustle, keep long gowns from dragging, or hold accessories together in a pinch.

Mini Sewing Kit

A mini sewing kit is a wedding day must-have, ready to tackle unexpected fashion emergencies. It’s also handy for last-minute adjustments to dresses, suits, or accessories, ensuring everyone looks flawless. With needles, thread, scissors, and extra buttons on hand, a sewing kit provides peace of mind, so small mishaps don’t steal the spotlight on such a special occasion.

Handheld Fan

A fan is a lifesaver for those summer weddings here at the castle. they help keep the bride, groom, and guests cool, preventing discomfort and unwanted shine in photos. Plus, stylish fans can double as elegant accessories or thoughtful favours, ensuring everyone stays refreshed and comfortable throughout the celebration.

Tissues

Happy tears are pretty much guaranteed, so you gotta have tissues. they will come in handy for heartfelt speeches, innocent drink spills or food drops. A small pack tucked into a clutch or pocket can make all the difference in keeping everyone looking and feeling their best.

Two hearts, one love, and a lifetime of memories waiting to be made. Your love story has turned into the most beautiful chapter yet—‘forever.

We love Lucy and Michael's elegant wedding aesthetic! There’s something timeless about black and white photos—they strip away the distractions and let the emotions speak louder than words. It's a pure and classic beauty. 🖤🤍

That being said, we do not wish rain on any of our lovely couples. We manifest sunshine, always. 🌻🫡
