Rowton Castle is a breathtaking wedding venue just a short distance from Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Standing for more than 800 years, Rowton Castle has a long and colourful history, changing hands between esteemed families and institutions throughout the centuries and undergoing numerous transformations.
Boasting 17 acres of tranquil grounds, luxurious castle accommodation, and beautiful views of the English countryside, today, Rowton Castle is renowned not only for its beautiful appearance and location but its exceptional customer service and effortless charm as one of Shropshire’s finest wedding venues.
Vows may be exchanged in three romantic locations: the castle gardens, surrounded by wildflowers; the comfort of the grand Cardeston Suite; or, for those wishing for a smaller affair, the cosy Georgian Dining Room.
There are 19 beautifully appointed bedrooms, accommodating 43 people overall. The Honeymoon Suite is included in the venue hire charge; the remaining 18 guest bedrooms are an additional charge.
Honeymoon Suite aside, guest accommodation at Rowton Castle comprises the following:
Breakfast is always included in the bedroom rate paid.
It is your wedding day, and you shouldn’t have to worry about organising catering; at Rowton Castle, you won’t. The in-house team will cater to your every need with food prepared by the brigade of chefs and guests looked after by the longstanding food and beverage team.
The menu options include canapes, street food, signature drinks, cocktails, and fully served courses at a seated dinner.
There are several bars, all of which differ in style and ambience, and a dedicated garden kitchen ensures that there are options for everyone.
We had our wedding here last week and, despite probably being demanding and fussy in what we expected, the day was completely and utterly perfect in every way. From the way we were looked after when we arrived the night before to the absolutely fantastic service we received from the team on the day, in particular our wedding planner/MC Abi, it was just incredible and everything that we both wanted our dream wedding day to be.
Our guests and family have all commented on how smoothly the day went and are referring to it as the best wedding they have ever been to! We are already planning an anniversary celebration at the castle as we can’t wait to go back. We used the events company (little gem Fx) and the florist (Wendy Shaw) and the photographer (Si Medlicott) recommended by the castle, and we could not fault any aspect of the service provided by any of them.
If you have any doubt as to whether or not this is the most wonderful place to have your wedding, then based on our experience, that doubt should be thrown away and we thoroughly recommend you make your booking!
Two words – absolutely incredible!
We are so happy that we chose Rowton Castle to be our wedding venue. The staff were fantastic throughout the entire experience; from booking to the day itself, it has been fantastic. Rest assured, if you have your wedding here, you’re in safe hands and won’t have to worry about a thing, as it’ll be very organised and run by an incredible team.
The castle itself is stunning, and we fell in love with it from the very start. It was everything we ever dreamed of, and we’d do it all again tomorrow if we could.
Go and see the castle for yourselves, so you can see just how beautiful it is.

Spent ages thinking of how to write this review because we have both found it hard to put into words how perfect our wedding at Rowton Castle was. From the day we walked in for a look around right through to the day after the wedding when we left, I cannot fault a single thing about Rowton Castle. Every tiny detail had been thought of, far beyond what we could have ever imagined. The castle itself is beautiful, the meals were fantastic, and all of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful going out of their way to make our day perfect with nothing being too much trouble. Both Lewis and Gareth looked after parts of our day and they were both amazing! Couldn’t recommend any more highly!
We just wanted to say a huge thank you! We had an absolutely perfect day and we couldn’t have wished for anything better. Although it wasn’t our original plan, there is nothing that we would change about our day. Your professionalism and humanity at a trying time is so appreciated! We have heard lots of sad tales about other wedding venues and changing plans. We can’t thank you enough for your kindness and answering my one million emails from me. Everything was perfect on the day and we’d like to say thanks to Gareth, Lewis and Gemma for ensuring everything went smoothly. Also thank you to everyone behind the scenes and the chefs. We have had nothing but lovely comments about the food and how it was the best people have had at a wedding (which we definitely agree with)! We have already booked to come and stay in December, all being well, and will look forward to our return to Rowton.
We can’t begin to thank you enough for the hard work you did to make our wedding day so amazing! It was scary as we weren’t local to pick somewhere far away for us and our guests, but we are so happy that we did. Rowton Castle was amazing and the most perfect place for our special day. It was perfect.
We have had so many comments from our guests about just how special the day and the venue was. We are so sad that we can’t do it all again.

Myself and my HUSBAND (ahhhh) got married here on Monday 6th Jan 2020 and I don’t have enough words to thank all of the staff for all they have done. The little touches and the expertise of the wedding team was incredible. We utilised the “Late Availability Package” which is the best thing in the world – without exaggeration, we wouldn’t have been able to get married without this and we will always be grateful to Rowton for allowing us our perfect day. Can’t recommend enough!!
We just wanted to send a quick message to say thank you to all at Rowton Castle. Our wedding day was so much more than we had expected. Nothing was too much trouble, everything went so smoothly, the food was amazing, and all of the staff just so friendly.
You are amazing at what you do.
Rowton Castle will always be our favourite place to stay.

What a weekend!! Thank you so much for all your help in making it the most magical one ever. We were all taken such good care of and had the best experience.
We’ve had so many compliments about the castle itself, the food, the staff… the whole day went even better than I ever imagined it could. Myself, Ben and our families are still gushing about what a fantastic day it was.
Please pass our thanks on to everyone that helped during the process.
