Magical Castle Setting

Your Ceremony

The Grand Hall provides a striking setting for your ceremony. Its elegant cantilever staircase creates a breath-taking backdrop, ready to be styled with cascading flowers or greenery, while the graceful archway frames the moment you exchange your vows as your loved ones look on.

If you've always dreamed of an outdoor ceremony, the picturesque landscaped Sunken Gardens offer divine surroundings, with the tree-lined pathway creating a natural aisle.

Alternatively, a short stroll from the castle brings you to the charming 19th-century St. Andrew's Chapel, where you can enjoy a traditional church ceremony before returning to the castle to celebrate.

When the moment feels right, you and your partner can slip away to capture unforgettable photographs within the castle’s grand interiors and across its sweeping grounds.
