Breathtaking by design and hostess to royalty, nobility, and glamorous guests for over 900 years, Leeds Castle rises majestically from the water in the stunning Kentish countryside near Maidstone. An enchanting, historic and lavish wedding destination in the Garden of England, the truly perfect backdrop for your ceremony and reception.

Facilities and Capacity

Known as 'the Loveliest Castle in the World', Leeds Castle lives up to this impressive statement with over 500 acres of stunning parkland. Centred in the heart of this, Leeds Castle's glamorous décor and first-class hospitality will set the mood for your wedding day. There is also plenty of accomodation across the estate for guests to reside in after your unforgettable wedding day.

You can say your vows in the Castle Dining Room which accomodates up to 100 guests for a licenced ceremony; take in the natural daylight through the beautiful long French windows, and the soft pastel colours around the room, which bring a sense of calm and tranquillity to your ceremony.

If you would prefer the option to marry outside, the Croquet Lawn, positioned in front of the Castle or the Pavillion Lawn which is immersed within the rurals of the Country estate can both host up to 100 guests for a licenced Ceremony. These idyllic outdoor settings seamlessy blend elegance with natural beauty.

Whilst guests soak up the celebration of your marriage in the spectacular state rooms of Leeds Castle, you will be escorted across the Castle grounds on our golf buggy to capture and frame this unforgettable day!

Your wedding breakfast will be served in the largest room in the Castle, The Salon which features breathtaking views across the scenic moat onto the flourishing parklands, a grand 16th-century French Caen stone fireplace, and magnificent ebony flooring, hosting up to 100 guests.

After the toasts, laughs and happy tears, you will head to the opulent 1930s Castle Drawing Rooms, before continuing the wedding festivities with dancing and singing the night away with up to 120 of your beloved friends and family. As the party slows down, retire to your luxurious Castle bedroom for the night.
