About Wadhurst Castle

Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting times in anybody’s life, but there’s so much to think about. If we can help you with one small part of that, then we’ll be happy. Searching in Sussex? Consider Wadhurst Castle, a majestic venue that sits at the heart of a 140 acre private estate located in the High Weald.

It’s an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which, if you ask us, gives pretty good credentials to the stunner that is Wadhurst Castle. The best part? The whole estate is solely yours on the day of your wedding. This award winning castle venue comes with exclusive use of the castle, gardens and barn, so you'll have the utmost privacy, and as much comfort as you could ask for.

From two to 130 people, the team at Wadhurst Castle are experienced with hosting weddings of all sizes, with a flexible and tailored approach to each couple – with a ceremony, reception, or both. There are a variety of areas licensed for legal ceremonies at Wadhurst Castle, including the Victorian, charming Winter Garden that features exotic plants to the grand Drawing Room.

During the warmer months, you can book the spacious Carriage Barn, or enjoy an open air ceremony in the Walled Garden or on the sweeping South Lawn. For a small and intimate day, Wadhurst Castle offers a special package for up to 30 people when you book your wedding to take place between Monday and Wednesday. You'll still get the same exclusive use of the venue, friendly team to help and attention to detail, but for a more affordable cost. The flexible package includes a three course wedding breakfast, drinks reception with canapes, no corkage fee, and plenty of space and time to dance and celebrate.

Testimonials For Wadhurst Castle

The Perfect PlaceMAY, 2025

As you know, from the first moment that I visited the Castle back in October, I immediately fell in love with it and on the day it looked absolutely stunning – I know it is a cliché but it really was our perfect day and we would not have changed a single thing. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the Castle and gardens were and everything as you suggested went perfectly and with no issues at all, to the quick move indoors when the rain arrived to our tables, flowers and the décor. I wanted to personally thank you also for being there throughout the whole process and answering all our questions and even those last minute panics I had, putting them all atrest, and helping me just before I went into the room. All of our recommendations, from the music to our wedding stationary were absolutely perfect and thank you for also making sure that Ian and I managed to get those precious moments alone too. The whole day went perfectly and neither of us can find any faults with anything. All of the staff on the day were brilliant, nothing was too much for them to do - you all did such an excellent job and it was the perfect place for us to start our new lives together!

Miracles!MAY, 2025

Firstly, a huge thank you to the entire team for helping to make our day so utterly perfect on Saturday! The amount of compliments wegot on the venue was staggering - but they were right, there is no place like it. A particular thanks for the seamless way in which a minicrisis was dealt with. You are all miracle workers!

Parents' Thank you!MAY, 2025

My husband and I would like to thank yourself and Fiona for all your expertise and help on our daughter’s wedding day.We all agree we had the most wonderful day...... everything went so smoothly and even the sun shone for us enabling the ceremony totake place in the walled garden which was Amy’s wish. Your help with all the finer details.....positioning of flowers on lapels, order ofentrance into walled garden, setting out all the accessories and so much more was greatly appreciated. From the day we first viewedWadhurst Castle we knew it was right for us and so perfect in every way......the Castle itself has an amazing warm and homely feel andthe views and gardens are stunning!We have had so many compliments about our special day from family and friends and are still chatting about the events of the day andenjoying the treasured memories and photographs. We really appreciate all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes to make suchan event so successful. One day we hope to return to the Castle for someone else’s ‘Special day’ and see you both again but until then to you and Fiona a great big.... ‘THANK YOU’

Fairy tale weddingMAY, 2025

We had a fairy tale wedding at Wadhurst Castle. We literally could not have asked for more. From the initial visit we knew it wasthe right venue for us as it is so intimate but not too small. It has a genuine castle feel without the huge hollowness of those really large castles but more with an atmosphere of class, coziness and the potential to make it your very own for the day. The ground sabsolutely captivated us from the word go. It’s the classic English country garden, with so many little areas and corners where flowersare beautifully displayed. Above all, the venue manager Susan was at the core of it all and she was spectacular in the way she helped to bring all our plans together. On the day she was amazing and there is no way we would have had such a perfect day if she was not there coordinating everything in such a friendly and calm manner. We had our wedding outside in the walled garden with the capri tent. Itwas magical.... not to mention the reception, the meal and then the party later that evening which were perfect in every way. I don’t think we could have matched this event in a hotel set up as it just felt so private and almost like it was our castle for the day. The party was awesome and no-one wanted to go home at the end of the night. We were receiving texts and comments for weeks after saying what a fab time people had. We will be forever grateful for such a dream wedding and could not rate the staff and management at the castle more highly
