Bolton Castle

Unfortunately we had our wedding cancelled due to Covid. The castle could not have been any nicer and understanding about the situation. Very accommodating about the new date and tried their best to do what they could do. Could not imagine getting married anywhere else. Didn’t lose any money and was stress free.

From the minute we arrived at Bolton Castle, we were blown away! The castle and the grounds are unreal! And the castle really is unique and does sell itself. We knew instantly that we wanted to get married there and our decision was finalised the minute we met Jacqui. Jacqui, the general manager, will go above and beyond for you. Jacqui genuinely wants the best for you and your special day. No request is too big or small. There are many amazing wedding venues, but it is hard to find an amazing venue and an amazing team!

My daughter and her now husband had their wedding here on 29th February 2020. It was everything they had hoped for including snow, though they might have preferred not to have the raging storm. There was nothing the staff could have done about the wind though they tried to keep us warm with an enormous fire in the great hall that blazed all the time we were there. The food was glorious and hot! We danced and chatted till midnight and everyone agreed with was one of the best weddings that they had ever attended (we even had an owl bring the rings). Thank you to everyone at the castle and a particular thank you to Elizabeth who was fantastic on the day.

We had a amazing wedding day here and it was a magical venue with fantastic food provided by Guy and his team

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.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything you and the team did for our wedding. Anne and I had the best day ever and it was great to enjoy it in the castle. As you said the castle is made for a party. It looks so different all set up for a wedding and our parents later admitted they were a little concerned seeing it bare but it looked fantastic when it has chairs, tables and decorated. Its such a great space to put your own touches to, making every wedding unique. Thanks ever so much helping laying everything out and the castle looked fantastic. We thought it would be the perfect venue with so many children attending and it was lovely to see them all enjoying the maze and grounds. All the guests said they had a special day and loved the venue and we haven't stopped talking about it. Please feel free to pass on our email details if you need to for couples thinking about using the castle. Thanks ever so much Tom and your team. Thanks also for being there for the day, there is so much to worry about, and knowing you would be there on the day helped lessen the worries no end.
