Jamie & Matt, June 2024
Thank you for the most fabulous wedding weekend! We could not have imagined anything more perfect. The entire staff and all services were over the top incredible. We are both speechless. Our guests could not give better praise to the venue and staff. I feel like we are now family! Thank you again for the most amazing, perfect, genuinely beautiful and stress free wedding weekend.

It is possibly the most romantic setting you could wish for. The Royal Chamber can be hired for the wedding night, which is honestly the most perfectly romantic room. The staff were professional, attentive, and never intrusive, and I don't think they could have done any more to make our day absolutely perfect. When you consider the cost, balanced against the facilities, the service, and the setting, it's a very well priced option.

Georgina & James, April 2024
It was the most amazing day! From the moment we enquired about a wedding, the staff were helpful and attentive. They had everything planned out perfectly and were able to answer any questions or queries quickly. The whole process was made so simple and effortless by the whole team. We had a small elopement and couldn't have asked for a more magical and intimate venue. It was simply perfect. Added bonus that we stayed in the Royal Chamber overnight as well, which was a fantastic experience. Thank you to all the team at Hedingham Castle for making our day everything we dreamed of.

Becky & Chris, February 2024
It's difficult to find the words to describe this venue, because it is so utterly gorgeous and full of history. We had our entire wedding in the castle itself, and so many of our guests have said it was the nicest wedding they've ever been to!
The entire team is amazing, from answering all our questions (no matter how big or small) to making sure I was eating in the morning during all the bridal prep. They are a well oiled machine, we didn't have to worry about a thing on the day and we will never be able to thank them enough for all that they did.

Sarah & Alfie, December 2023
We honestly couldn't thank Jackie and the team enough. From the planning process, no question was silly and it was such a supportive process. We planned the whole wedding from our home in Dubai, so Sarah, Amanda and the team accommodated us by zooming at strange times due to the time difference. On the day, Jackie was our wedding coordinator and she was just fabulous. She completely got us as a couple and made decisions that we didn't even know would be possible (in the best way). Everyone was in awe at how beautiful the venue is and how the wedding just went so well without a hitch. We will always be so grateful to you all.

Ashley & Liam, November 2023
My husband and I recently had our wedding at Hedingham and from start to finish, every person we spoke to were wonderful. The wedding showcase was so informative, the planning process was seamless, with a dedicated team to answer our questions and guide us through each step. Even though by the time of the wedding we had visited a number of times, we were still in awe with how beautiful the castle looked. I have had so many guests compliment the venue and staff, with quite a few saying it was the best wedding they’ve been to (and that was purely because of the castle and how the entire wedding was organised!). Every single staff member made so much effort with not just the larger details, but with the smaller ones as well (making me a cuppa, the bar staff learning our names etc). I highly recommend Hedingham as a wedding venue, and I really hope I get to go back as a wedding guest one day (which seems likely from what some of my guests have said). Thank you so much to all those at Hedingham!

Amanda & Arif, October 2023
Planning our fairytale wedding at Hedingham Castle was an absolute dream come true, and this was largely due to the extraordinary efforts of the dedicated wedding coordinators and staff. From the very first consultation, they displayed an exceptional level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care, ensuring that every aspect of our celebration was flawlessly executed. Their meticulous attention to detail, from the intricacies of the décor to the seamless orchestration of the event, truly exceeded our expectations. A great feature of this venue is that everything happens within the grounds. The ceremony took place in the beautiful gothic style castle and the reception was in the amazing garden space and Manor House, and the dinner and party in the gorgeous marquee. Another great point about the venue is that it’s beautiful enough that very little décor and styling was required. We were also able to stay the night before to ensure we were close by and able to access venue for preparations. The venue has a sizeable cottage that was big enough for most of our close relatives, and there is even a smaller cottage perfect for bridal party to get ready. The local pubs are also a must, and made for a great night cap with family and friends the night before. The tireless efforts of the staff on our wedding day were nothing short of remarkable. Their warm, attentive, and personalized service made us and our guests feel like royalty. The staff flawlessly catered to every need, the food was incredible and the team ensured that everything flowed effortlessly. (Huge shout out to Jackie and Corol, who were the unsung heroes of the day!) Our heartfelt gratitude goes to the entire team for making our wedding day an unforgettable, picture-perfect experience. We couldn't have asked for a more idyllic setting or a more dedicated team to help us begin our happily ever after.

Katy & Adam, October 2023
We had our wedding recently here and when I tell you that once you see this venue for the first time you will fall in love I mean it! We looked at a couple after Hedingham and no where compared. Sarah, Jenny and all the team at Hedingham made the planning so easy by communicating with us constantly, booking in planning meetings, being extremely flexible to what we wanted and so much more! From the minute we arrived at the venue to the morning we left we felt at ease and it was just the best day ever there! The castle is the perfect setting and the marquee after for the reception is stunning…not the mention the beautiful keep of the castle we got to stay in on the night of our wedding! Thank you so much to all for making our day so special! If you are going to get married anywhere, make sure it’s here!

Ashlee & Mark, August 2023
We recently had our wedding at Hedingham castle, from our first viewing to our wedding day we was kept in touch with, was always available on telephone or email with fast replies, answered many questions we had. Kind thoughtful and offered advice if and when needed, the day of the wedding ran smoothly with lots of communication between everyone.
Thank you for helping us have the most magical wedding day. It was all we could of wished for and more.

Chloe & Conor, July 2023
Just had the most magical castle wedding!
Every corner you turn you discover something more and more beautiful. The onsite staff have been friendly, helpful and professional from the day we viewed the venue to the big day itself. There was never a dull moment with the kids (and adults) running around playing on the lawns, the ceremony inside the castle is something dreams are made of. The flow of the day was amazing. Can't fault anything!

Bianca & Billy, July 2023
The most beautiful venue in Essex!!
We got married here in July 2023 and had the most amazing day of our lives. We fell in love with the venue when we first visited back in January 2022 and each time we visited on the lead up to our wedding day, it just got better and better. The staff at Hedingham are amazing and made our wedding day run so effortlessly and smoothly as well as helping us in the lead up to our wedding make sure the day would be exactly how we expected it (and better!). They were there at all times when we needed advice, fancied a visit, had a million and one questions - whatever it was, they never failed to help us out. Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous the venue was! We couldn't recommend this venue enough. We wish we could get married all over again. We'd choose Hedingham every time!
Thank you for giving us the best day of our lives!

Zoe & Karl, June 2023
We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our day ran so smoothly and the team there are unbelievable at what they do. We also got to stay in the Royal Chamber in the top of the castle which was a lovely experience. The communication all the way up until the day was spot on and made me feel at ease knowing that everything was taken care of. We really could relax and enjoy the day without any worries. Sarah was outstanding and always went above and beyond to put my mind at ease and Nikki our co-ordinator on the day was exceptional. From the moment we saw the castle we knew it was the venue for us and I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone!
Thank you to everyone at Hedingham Castle!

Jessica & Matthew, May 2023
After our viewing, we were in total agreement that our wedding had to be at Hedingham, no other venues came close to topping it! We had total access across the whole site - such a unique venue that offers so much variety. The whole day ran seamlessly because of the team - so flexible in accommodating all our ideas, nothing was too much trouble. We really appreciated their knowledge & insight for what would work well and what might not. Such a memorable and special day, we couldn't be happier.

Michelle & Robert - April 2023
We visited Hedingham many years previously & fell in love with the venue so that when we did get engaged it was always going to be a Castle wedding and here. The team were wonderful from day one and we were able to rely on their experience and expertise throughout the planning process, particularly as I had lots of things I wanted to do that I'm sure any other venue would not have accommodated. It was a once in a lifetime experience to have the privilege to sleep in a 900 year old Castle.

Thank you so much for providing us with such an incredible venue to celebrate our 3-day wedding weekend! Sarah, you were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish and we are so grateful for all your help and support during our planning, and to Sally for being a great support on the day. We had the most amazing weekend celebrating with our family and friends, and are so thankful for the part you played in that. Lots of love, Mr & Mrs Mullan.

My son & daughter in law got married here... What an amazing time everyone had in this fantastic beautiful Castle. We were blessed with beautiful weather, yes even in November. The food supplied by Splinters was amazing. The staff were so kind & attentive to all our needs. Highly recommended Hedingham Castle.

Maria & Mark 2022
A huge thank you to you all, for everything you did to make it the most perfect day! From our initial conversations, rearranging twice, preparation before and, on the day, you really did exceed our expectations, so we can't thank you enough. So many people told us how incredible and beautiful everything was and how it was the best wedding they have ever been to!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day magical!

Anna & Ben 2022
My now husband and I visited Hedingham Castle as our first wedding venue taster, and that's where the wedding venue search began and ended! We were absolutely blown away and after a year of planning and the big day coming and going, we are STILL blown away. We felt so special, the whole wedding team in the run up were amazing!! Answering all my silly emails so swiftly! On the day itself every member of staff were incredible!! EVERYONE commented on how brilliant the staff were. Honestly NOTHING is too much for the Hedingham castle team.
Thank you for everything.

Alex and Donna - 2022
We couldn't have asked for better, we had an amazing day and we can't thank everyone at Hedingham Castle enough. From booking to the countless date changes and number changes, Sarah has been an absolute godsend, without her I probably would have broken down many more times than I did leading to the wedding. Thank you all again for everything, we are so grateful.

Bed & Claire 2021
We had our wedding at Hedingham Castle in December 2021. The venue is so unique and beautiful I imagine in a lot of cases it sells itself however the support and service we received from the staff starting from when we were making our enquiries up to the wedding day was exceptional. They are organised and do really take the stress away from you during the organisation and on the day itself. They ensure they know you as a couple and what you want the day to be like and also ensure they know every single detail about the day, your guests and so much more that I hadn't even thought of so the day runs seamlessly. This truly is a very special wedding venue and along with the staff made me feel very special on our wedding day. I am proud to tell people I was married there and would strongly recommend Hedingham Castle if you are looking for a unique romantic venue. I can honestly say, it was the best day of my life.

Charlie & Mike 2021
Sarah and the team at Hedingham Castle were just incredible from start to finish. For us the team were involved in our wedding from our engagement as that happened at the castle!!! It was beautiful and felt so personal to have Sarah there from day 1 to our wedding day! Jackie was our wedding day coordinator and was not only the nicest person but also did not spare any moment running the day perfectly and making us feel so special at every step. The fact that Demetra, the owner, was also a part of our engagement, and offered to show our parents round once we had booked our day was also very touching and made it even more personal. Alongside the incredible service we received the venue is just absolutely stunning, and truly worth every penny spent to enjoy our day!
Thank you to all at Hedingham Castle, Sarah, Jackie, Demetra and the team there, we could not have asked for a better venue and team!

Francesca & James 2021
After having to change our date 3 times, the staff at the castle were so helpful and reassuring all the way through. When the day come, everything run so smoothly and was perfect!
Everyone commented on how amazing the venue was and loved the fact that each part of the day you experience another part of the venue. Ceremony in the castle, pictures in front of the castle, drinks in the gardens with the amazing lake and then finally dinner and dancing in the marquee. I would recommend Hedingham Castle in a heartbeat and I wish I could do the day all over again.
