We held our wedding at Westenhanger Castle on 4th June 2021, after delaying a year due to Covid. The team were always so responsive and answered any questions posed to them. On the day of our wedding Tania, Jackie and team could not have done any more. They made sure our guests and us were always looked after at all times. Absolutely fabulous service. The food was tasty, the portions large and was served hot. We held the whole wedding in the Manor House and this is a perfect setting for a smaller wedding. Would 100% highly recommend Westenhanger Castle, stunning location, wonderful staff and a very relaxed atmosphere.
We had our wedding here at the end of May 2021. The building is beautiful, the food is delicious but it’s the staff that really make this venue 5 star. In my view, you couldn’t have a better setting for your wedding but you never know what your day will really be like. Tania has been so supportive, kind, and facilitative beforehand. Tania and Jackie on the day were nothing short of dedicated and then there are all the other staff like Alice on the day who just can’t do enough to help. The castle has several beautiful options for the ceremony and you are spoilt for choice whatever the weather. The food was commented on by all our guests to not only be delicious but big portions too! Your day at The Castle Westenhanger will be wonderful, rest assured. The staff will insist on it!
We have just had our wedding at this beautiful venue. We had the most perfect day imaginable. Tania – amazing, Jackie – amazing and the rest of the staff – amazing! Our wedding ran so smoothly and calm, the castle grounds are absolutely stunning and we couldn’t have felt anymore love and support from the staff than we have. The food was absolutely out of this world with a wide variety to choose from on the menu.
I can honestly recommend this venue with every ounce of me. Even during a pandemic Tania and Jackie were supportive, calm, kind and helpful. Both ladies have a welcoming nature and we can’t thank them for the amount of love we have recieved. I will be forever recommending this venue a thousand times over!
We had our wedding here and it was FANTASTIC! The morning of the wedding went smoothly and things were just done around us without really realising. The venue staff were attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing and the catering staff professional and efficient. If you are considering getting married then please do it here.
