I can’t believe February’s almost been and gone. It’s supposed to be the most romantic month of the year and it has been at the Castle. We’ve been fortunate enough to host various weddings and the Castle has really been abuzz with wedding guests. I’m an advocate of winter weddings, having got married in the winter, myself. Valentine’s Weekend was great too. We had loads of couples come and dine and stay with us. Just magical!
When we acquired the Castle winter weddings weren’t really that popular, but we’ve certainly noticed a change in that trend and winter weddings are becoming as popular as summer weddings!
I guess the great thing about a venue like Peckforton Castle is that no matter what the weather you’re guaranteed to have a fantastic time with gorgeous photographs taken with a stunning backdrop.
Another plus point about Peckforton Castle is that we can be so flexible with our wedding parties. We can host small and large weddings, from 10 to 160 and 200+ for the evening do. Not to mention how convenient it is.
Our wedding team helps couples to plan every stage, so nothing’s forgotten. A second super convenience is the fact that everything’s under one big roof, so to speak. So there’s no need to worry about ferrying guests to and from the church or registry office, the wedding breakfast, the evening do and the accommodation. What we find is that guests really appreciate having somewhere comfortable to just sit and relax for a while and we’ve got loads of comfy sofas by log fires that are perfect for that.
There are loads of special points to weddings at Peckforton Castle, but just two more I must mention are the option to have a private blessing in the gorgeous Castle Chapel after the civil ceremony and the opportunity to have one of our owls bring the rings to you!
Oh, just a third thing. As we’re an up market venue people can sometimes think that they’d never be able to afford a wedding with us. Well, think again! Not only can we be flexible with the types of packages we offer, we are also very competitively priced, so why not have a chat with us?
Weddings are only going to get better at Peckforton Castle – if that’s possible! The new facilities I mentioned earlier this month will be a great benefit.
In fact this weekend – on Sunday 28 February from 12-4pm – we’re holding a Wedding Fayre, so please pop in and say hello and take a look at what we’ve got to offer.
Hope to see you there.
Until next time!
