Leeds Castle

About

Leeds Castle is one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Kent and “the loveliest Castle in the world”.

Offering couples a romantic and historic venue in which to say ‘I do’, the 900 year old Castle provides the perfect setting for a ceremony of up to 100 guests, whereas the Tudor Maiden’s Tower offers an exclusive elegant 5 star venue adjacent to the Castle and available for up to 80 guests.

The 16th century stone building, used for weekend house parties in the 1920s, is now a glamorous self-contained venue perfect for your wedding ceremony, evening celebrations and overnight accommodation. Its wonderful walled garden now offers a Garden Party Wedding, which will allow for a much less formal occasion.  No set seating plans, comfortable lounging areas and food options that allow guests to pick and choose what they eat and when.

Ceremonies take place in the beautifully preserved Ceremony Room adjoining the Library, ideal for Champagne drinks receptions.

A banquet-style wedding breakfast will be served in The Salon. The room boasts impressive views across the moat, a grand 16th century French Caen stone fireplace and collection of important paintings and sculptures.

Retire after dinner with your guests to the opulent 1920s Drawing Rooms and continue your celebrations with dancing in the Heraldry Room. Overnight accommodation in the Castle is available in one of the twenty bedrooms, including eight luxurious State bedrooms, each uniquely furnished with period antiques and large original en-suite, art deco marble bathrooms.

In addition to the Castle bedrooms, the estate boasts five luxury Maiden’s Tower Bedrooms, Stable Courtyard Bed and Breakfast rooms just across the moat from the Castle, superb self-catering holiday properties located within the Leeds Castle Estate and during the summer months – medieval styled Knight’s Glamping accommodation.

Our wedding packages can cater for guest numbers of 30 to 200. We take pride in excellent service, tailored to meet your specific wishes and ensure that your wedding day is perfect. We provide the services of an experienced in-house floristry team and are proud to use Leith’s fine dining caterers.

At Leeds Castle, we believe that choosing the venue for your special day is one of the most important decisions a bride & groom will make. The 500-acre estate offers beautiful grounds and stunning historic venues in which to share your special day with your closest friends and family.
