Bolton Castle

Our wedding was absolutely spectacular- we could not have asked for anything more, it was truly perfect! The castle, and the surrounding area, is absolutely stunning. It is an idyllic place, straight out of a fairytale. My husband and I love history and had been there before and really enjoyed it, so we were thrilled to see that they are also a wedding venue. Tom let us decorate exactly as we wished, including all the lovely nooks and crannies in the castle that lend themselves so beautifully for decorating. The castle has an alluring, untouched feel about the place, transporting you straight back in time. We had Charlie the owl fly our rings up aisle, and had a ceilidh after our buffet, and it perfectly fit the atmosphere of the castle. We felt like we were partaking in the merrymaking along with the previous generations who had partied there. Like the previous reviewer, so many of our guests have said (and not just to us) that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We wanted to express our heartfelt thanks to Tom and the whole team for helping us with our many questions along the way and for being there on the day, thank you so much. You were so kind and accommodating, always making us feel welcome. It was so helpful for us to be able to set up our decorations the day before, too. Also thank you to Guy and his team for the scrumptious food! Thank you also to the falconer and for Charlie for bringing our rings, you were amazing! I genuinely feel that what I have written does not do justice to how we feel, the day was simply magical.

What a wonderful wedding we had at Bolton Castle! A number of guests said (not just to us) that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Many thanks to Elizabeth who judged things perfectly and to Carol, also. Lyndsey's display amongst our guests was excellent and we ended up cutting the cake with an engraved longsword. Guy did a superb job with the food. Thanks to his staff, including Paul and Lorna. After choral music, instead of a fanfare I think we had a more suitable wonderfully subtle piece of music as the processional, with the bride entering the Solar as the drum started. Altogether it was a perfect setting for our perfect day and incredible value for money. Thank you so much.

We married at Bolton Castle earlier this month and had a wonderful day. A number of guests have commented that it was the best wedding they have ever been to, in part thanks to the unique venue and location I''m sure. We had the freedom to create the wedding we wanted, rather than having to buy into a package dictated by the venue. The photos look absolutely wonderful too.

We had a fantastic day, despite the weather and cannot thank you enough for all your hospitality and help over the last year - it was most appreciated. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR MAKING MY DREAM COME TRUE X

Bolton Castle provided a stunning setting for our wedding ceremony. Tom and Katie couldn''t have been more helpful and allowed us the freedom to set up the room as we wished. Our photographer was so excited by all the amazing photo opportunities. We wouldn''t hesitate to recommend this location to others.
