Berkeley Castle, a magnificent medieval fortress, is located on the outskirts of The Cotswolds, nestled in the heart of the Gloucestershire countryside. Surrounded by mature, terraced gardens, the castle offers a stunning setting with sweeping views and a historical ambience. The family has resided in the castle since 1153, making it a beautiful venue and a piece of living history.
The Berkeley Castle team is dedicated to accommodating your wedding vision with a flexible and welcoming approach. They will assist with every aspect of planning to create a personalized and memorable experience.
The terraced gardens provide a picturesque setting for an outdoor ceremony. The gardens are adorned with mature plantings, and the sweeping curved steps lead down to the Great Lawn, offering a grand entrance for bridal parties.
The Lily Pond area is ideal for an alfresco canape reception, with the Castle providing a stunning backdrop for photos and festivities. The venue also offers a private guided tour of the castle, allowing guests to explore parts of this historic home not typically open to the public, adding a unique touch to the celebration.
Berkeley Castle offers wonderfully spacious on-site accommodation, perfect for relaxing with family and friends before the wedding and enjoying a leisurely day after. The venue hire includes two Grade II-listed Georgian properties, accommodating up to 36 guests and ensuring a comfortable and memorable stay.
Brook House features nine bedrooms and sleeps 18-20 guests. It includes a generous open-plan living space with a fully equipped kitchen/diner, a living room, and a snug and picturesque garden with a decking area.
Salt House offers seven bedrooms, sleeping 14-16 guests. It includes a large open-plan living space with a fully equipped kitchen, dining/living room, and a charming terrace outside.
Blossom Cottage is the perfect retreat for the wedding night, providing a charming space for two. A complimentary continental Champagne breakfast is included.
For a welcome dinner on Friday evening, the brand new Kitchen Garden restaurant in the Castle’s walled garden is available for use with prior booking through the recommended caterer, Napier. This venue provides an intimate and charming start to the weekend’s celebrations.
A wedding in castle, not many people can say they got married in a castle. Everything about the day was perfect. I cannot thank the team at Berkeley Castle enough for making our day so special. Nothing was too much, they were completely into our day as much as we were, professional, helpful, incredibly coordinated down to every second and the communication from them was great. We didn’t do the traditional wedding day and asked to change a lot of the dynamics around, it worked seamlessly, thanks to them. It’s been six months and guests from our wedding still talk about the castle and the team. I would highly recommend Berkeley Castle as a wedding venue. Absolutely perfect.
We had our wedding day at Berkeley Castle and it was simply the best day of our lives. Pippa was one of the many reasons we chose this venue, her passion and enthusiasm was incredible from the very moment we first met. She worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran like clockwork and we could not have wished for a more perfect day. The Castle and accommodation were stunning and the houses enabled us to have our family & friends from around the world to stay and celebrate together over the entire wedding weekend. We cannot wait to revisit Berkeley Castle as it now holds so many special memories for us that we will cherish forever.
Before we go away on our honeymoon we just wanted to say we had the most incredible day and all our guests couldn’t get over how beautiful the Castle was. The Castle will always hold a special place in our hearts!
What a stunning setting and one I think you’d struggle to beat. From the moment we first looked around the grounds until we ended our wedding day, Pippa was exceptional. She was so excited for us and her enthusiasm for the wedding was infectious. She looked after us and everyone on the day, ensuring a smooth operation and fun had by all. The food we had from the in house catering team Napier Catering was also delicious and remarked on by all the guests. If you haven’t picked your wedding venue yet, look no further.
One massive thank you to you all. You were all incredible and I am so grateful. From the moment we met you all last summer, you instilled confidence and professionalism on all matters of the wedding and you’ve all been a pleasure to work with. You all made the wedding go beautifully and I’ll never forget that. Doug and I had the best time – literally the best day of our lives. Pippa, you and your team were so brilliant and thank you for thinking of everything. You blew me away with your thoroughness and the day flowed perfectly thanks to you. Phil and Kathryn, the food was amazing and everyone said so. The canapés were delicious and the meal itself was perfect. Absolutely delicious. I think food is such a memorable aspect from a wedding, so a massive thank you. Could not fault it. Plus all your staff were brilliant. So polite, friendly and happy to help anyone. Please thank them all from us. Doug is very grateful to one of the waiters who looked after him with water and drinks before guests arrived in the great hall. You’ve made our wedding day just perfect in every way possible and we are eternally grateful. You are all superstars and all the guests said so! We’ve had so many comments of it being the best wedding they’ve been to. And it’s down to you all. So a huge thank you and I’ll be singing your praises to anyone who asks about weddings at Berkeley castle!
I’d just like to say a big thank you, you were absolutely amazing from start to finish with everything concerning our wedding. It was magical and we cannot thank you enough.
Fantastic experience at Berkeley Castle for our wedding. We could not have hoped for a better venue. Everything was absolutely perfect for the entire weekend, with exceptional and meticulous planning by Pippa and her team. Our guests were blown away by the whole fairy tale setting. Fantastic and magical experience which will stay with us forever.
We are just getting back to normality after our wedding and wanted to email to say a very big thank you! You were one of the main reasons we chose to go with Berkley Castle. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, but you were superb from start to finish. I remember after we first met you, myself and Phil said how much at ease we felt knowing that you would be our coordinator. There was never a question unanswered or a task too much for you. Your passion and excitement for each and every wedding you do is truly admirable.
We couldn’t have loved our day more, every small detail, every little touch. Everything went perfectly. The venue looked incredible.
You were the calm before I walked down the aisle and the smile that I needed to see before walking into the Great Hall. Thank you for everything that you did, and for making our day so special and memorable.
Thank you so much for such a truly wonderful day. Everything was perfect and exactly how we had hoped. The Castle is the best wedding venue and our guests were so impressed.
We got married here in June and it was absolutely incredible! Pippa made our day run seamlessly; the castle is just picture perfect we had so, so many compliments on the venue all day! I could not recommend getting married here enough!
Yes, there will not be any other event or wedding taking place the day before so you can access the Castle from Midday on the Friday.
There is no check out time from the accommodation, you can stay as long as you wish on the Sunday and enjoy the day after with your family and friends.
