Full Description
Built to entertain royalty, this stunning 17th century castle is set at the heart of the family-owned Lulworth Estate in extensive rolling parkland, with sea views and a beautiful church and private chapel in the grounds. Through the centuries, Lulworth Castle has played host to countless guests - including seven monarchs. Today, it offers a breathtakingly beautiful backdrop for your wedding in a truly iconic setting on the Jurassic Coast.
Available for exclusive hire, the magical Lulworth Castle is a blank and flexible canvas waiting for you to create your perfect day. Choose a civil ceremony in the castle, or take your vows in its ancient church or historic private chapel. Then eat, drink and celebrate the happiest day of your life in this magical and timeless place.
The beauty of a Lulworth Castle wedding is the flexibility of the space available to you. Let your imagination run wild as you create your dream ceremony; the floristry, lighting, and styling, to the music, furniture and your unforgettable arrival up the sweeping drive.
Choose Lulworth Castle as your venue, and we will work with you to ensure that it is a day which surpasses all your expectations. Our experienced team will support you to realise your vision - whether you choose one of our proven set-ups or you want to create something completely new and different. From the menu and flowers, to the furniture, glassware and styling, to the lighting, music, dancing, entertainment and drinks, it really is your day, your way. After the reception, your guests can retire to one of the many luxury holiday cottages, here on the Estate.

I couldn't have got married anywhere else!
Having grown up in Bournemouth, Lulworth Cove always held a special place in my heart and despite moving to London, I knew I wanted to get married in the area. When I realised we could get married in the Castle and after our first visit, we knew it was the only place we could get married.
We wanted somewhere that had the wow factor and the castle and grounds obviously delivered. From the beautiful architecture, the history, the views, landscape and even the peacocks - this venue just kept giving.
Sarah and her whole team couldn't have done more for us, they really went above and beyond at every opportunity and we couldn't be more grateful as the day just wouldn't have been as perfect as it was without them.
If you are fortunate enough to get married here, you won't regret it - you'll just wish you could do this every day for the rest of your life.
