About
Setting

Nestled within 12,000 acres of captivating Dorset countryside, Lulworth Castle, a magnificent 17th-century venue, unveils a breathtaking landscape that is sure to leave you and your guests in awe. The castle’s partially-restored structure exudes raw elegance, providing an enchanting backdrop that effortlessly complements any chosen wedding theme, colour scheme, or design. With its blank canvas allure, this exclusive-use venue grants you the freedom to plan your special day exactly as you envision.

Situated in a picturesque historic park, Lulworth Castle was originally built to entertain royalty and host hunting parties. From its grounds, you can admire sweeping views of the Jurassic Coast, with Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door just a stone’s throw away. Many couples opt to seize the opportunity for stunning couples portraits on the nearby beach. Tucked away in the heart of Dorset’s tranquil countryside, Lulworth imparts a serene and exclusive ambiance to your celebration. Moreover, its convenient proximity to Wool train station and Bournemouth airport ensures easy and swift connections to London, while a plethora of local accommodations allows you to extend your festivities into a delightful weekend affair.

Vibe

Lulworth embraces both religious and civil weddings, catering to your preferences. In addition to its civil ceremony license, the estate houses a 15th-century Anglican church and a 17th-century Catholic chapel, both conveniently located just a short stroll from the castle. Every wedding at Lulworth is a unique and personal affair, brimming with unforgettable moments and cherished details.

At Lulworth, you possess the freedom to meticulously plan every aspect of your special day, from the exquisite floral arrangements and delectable cuisine to the entertainment and evening decor. Their dedicated catering partners work tirelessly to craft bespoke and exquisite dining experiences for each couple. Furthermore, you are welcome to bring your own beverages without incurring any additional charges.

With its remarkable acoustics and enchanting lighting, Lulworth Castle sets the stage for a truly magical evening celebration. Whether you opt for a live band, a DJ, or an acoustic group, your guests are guaranteed to be captivated. For an added touch of sparkle, consider indulging in a casino experience, the magic of a magician, the fun of a photo booth, or even the grandeur of a fireworks display.

Within the estate, an array of fabulous holiday cottages await, offering delightful accommodations for you and your cherished guests to book for the entire weekend. These cottages not only serve as a picturesque backdrop for your wedding preparations but also provide the perfect setting for a memorable Sunday family gathering.

Yes, absolutely! We love meeting your furry friends and having them at your wedding is important to you therefore it's important to us too.
