Updated: Jun 6

Castles are a dream venue for a marquee wedding. They are the epitome of grandeur for couples seeking a legendary wedding experience. Their architecture, interiors, manicured gardens and acres of lawn and woodland provide a rich and historical backdrop for your luxury marquee wedding.


In this article we're going to shine a light on a few of our favourite castles for a marquee wedding in the areas we serve.


Belvoir Castle, Leicestershire

This castle on a hill, with its many towers and turrets, is a spectacular setting for your luxury marquee wedding. As well as the glamorous and gothic castle, this venue has two ethereal lakeside marquee spaces and whimsical woodland areas. They offer options for vintage transport, croquet on the lawn, a Pimm’s and champagne reception in the Rose Garden as well as many other unique features, some involving swords and canons! You really can tailor a day like no other that suits your individual vision.


If you’re dreaming of a romantic outdoor wedding with views of idyllic lakes, trees, grassland and a dramatic gothic castle that will blow your guests away, Belvoir Castle is for you.
