Wedding Venues in Gloucestershire

Berkeley Castle, Berkeley, Gloucestershire
Berkeley Castle, built in the 12th Century and still home of the Berkeley family who built it, is available for wedding receptions and offers a unique and historic venue for your special day. The Great Hall has been used for feasting since the 12th Century and many English kings and queens have sat at the high table here, from Henry IV to William IV. In summer the terraced gardens – planted for scent as well as for beauty, and with views over rolling countryside – are available for reception drinks. Guests have freedom of the gardens and photographs can be taken here. In the winter months, the elegant Long Drawing Room fulfills the same function. The Castle is available throughout the year, subject to other events and bookings. The hire of the Castle for wedding reception includes the following: • Exclusive use of the Castle and gardens for the purposes of your reception. • The Great Hall for the meal and dancing. A fire can be lit in the Great Hall during the winter season, depending on seating arrangements. • Reception—drinks on arrival will be held in the Long Drawing Room or from the top terrace overlooking the meadows on a fine day. • The Castle floodlit. • Personnel for security and cloakroom duties. • Free parking for all your guests. • Guided tours for your guests, if required. The Castle has a choice of three appointed caterers plus bar services. Short guided tours of the Castle are available if desired to those guests who may be interested – we find most guests are delighted to have the opportunity to explore this ancient building. Tours must be pre-arranged with us before the day. Please note that the Castle is applying for a licence to hold civil wedding ceremonies. We can also advise on local florists, horse-drawn carriages, musicians (perhaps you might like to be piped in to dinner?). For further details please make an appointment to view the facilities. top
