Party on the lawns and in our stunning Clear Garden Marquee.

Should you want an event with more guests, our Clear Garden Marquee may be your choice. The Garden Marquee is the absolute queen of venues. It holds a huge 450 guests at maximum capacity and it really does capture the essence of an outdoor wedding but with all the indoor comforts. The fire pits, heating lanterns, outdoor seating, ‘Caravan Bar’ and street-style food stalls create an incredibly social atmosphere - it almost becomes your own city!

Visit the stalls and the bar, bounce from one seating area to the dance floor to the cherry blossom avenue, listen to the live music; it’s all yours. Oh, and at night, it turns into a fiery orange party that glows far into the distant countryside.

This venue is very popular for dry hire and asian weddings.

Our woodland wedding venue is a special one.

Have you ever seen those photos on Instagram where the happy couple are having their first married photos taken under a tree laced with fairy lights in the middle of the woods? Ever seen those photos where the wedding bar is romantically wrapped around a tree? Ever seen those snaps of pizza ovens in the forest catering the late night munchies at the wedding party?

Well. They’re at Hazlewood’s Woodland Wedding Venue.

This venue seems to be the topic of conversation for nearly-weds at the moment. With a woodland wedding package, your bar is a tree bar, your pizza comes from a purpose built outdoor oven, and your civil ceremony takes place on a charming pagoda surrounded by towering sequoia trees. Your party happens either on an outdoor dance floor or inside a tipi, and you’re engulfed in nature’s finest. Outdoor weddings are becoming more and more popular, and we know why!

Our spectacular Great Hall, brimming with rich history, can accommodate weddings for up to one hundred and twenty guests. Think Bridgerton. Think delicate. Think sophisticated, luxurious and everything you’ve ever drooled over on your Pinterest vision board!

History

Our Castle is steeped in a rich history; Shakespeare’s sonnet 127 “The Dark Lady” refers to Anne Vavasour of Hazlewood, Hazlewood features in the Domesday book, and the Castle was formerly a Maternity Hospital in WW1. Whether you’re a historian or not, there’s a special feeling in the Castle that, we’re sure, is thanks to this lavish past - feel it for yourself on your next visit!

Location

Get perfect photographs and everlasting memories by walking alongside the carp ponds, wandering through the cherry orchard wood, or posing in front of the Great Hall entrance.

The minimum capacity for weddings will vary depending on the day the celebration is taking place. For further information about capacity, contact Hazlewood Castle.
