    Fairytale Wedding

    Rowton is not Rowton without the people at the heart of it, I do not say it lightly when I say from the initial booking with Johan to the planning with Elise & Corryn to the actual hosting of the day with Lewis and Lucy, there was no stone left unturned.

    Lewis, we want to say a special thank you to you because although you have been in the game for 20 years, there is no level of complacency or emotional disconnect. He so clearly feels every emotion with you and it’s so heartwarming that someone who does this regularly hasn’t become desensitised from it

    We honestly owe you all our biggest gratitude and send all our love your way for making it such a special and memorable day

    They say planning a wedding in 5 months is crazy but with the Rowton team, it felt like we’d been planning for years. They really are professionals on their field ❤️

    Everything we wanted.

    The team at Rowton were fantastic from start to finish. Nothing was too much and the day ran exactly as we wanted. It was so relaxed. The food was fantastic for the wedding breakfast. Mouth watering and cooked to perfection.

    Only negative, we had steak sandwiches for the evening and the steak was not good. Most of our guests said it was horrible and chewy. So maybe avoid the steak sandwiches.

    Rowton Castle's reply:

    Hi Gemma and Cameron,

    Thank you so much for your kind words, we're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your day and we're privileged to have been part of it.

    We're ever so sorry to hear though that the evening food did not meet your expectations and I shall pass on this feedback to the team.

    We wish you all the best for your future together and hope that we'll be able to welcome you back to Rowton Castle in the near future.

    Kind regards.
    The Rowton Team

    December wedding

    Absolute perfect day!

    Joe and I chose to only have 3 months between our engagement to our wedding day. We chose Rowton Castle based on how stunning it is and the affordable price of the late availability package. From the day we confirmed / chosen a date, the wedding coordinators (particularly Corryn) were exceptional in taking time to speak with us on multiple occasions and promptly answering email questions we sent. They were so kind and genuine throughout the whole planning process. We were lucky that there was not a wedding the day before ours, so our guests were able to spend two days and two nights there. This meant we were able to catch up with family/ friends beforehand and spend more time together as a couple the day of. The castle was beautifully and tastefully decorated for Christmas (which helped keep our decorating costs down). A nice little surprise when we arrived was that the in house florist already scattered vases of white roses and eucalyptus around the lounge and reception which was what we decided on as our wedding flowers. There was not coordination, it was a happy little coincidence. Lewis was our MC the day of and he was just the best ever! Lewis kindly assisted my dad and I in running through our walk down the aisle the night before which helped us feel more at ease during the ceremony the next day. The day of, Lewis constantly checked on both Joe and I and reassured us of everything he and the staff were taking care of. He was just amazing and helped make our day perfect. Thank you also to Abi who was there the night before and helped me and my family settle in. I truly cannot thank all of the people at Rowton Castle for making our day the absolute best. I would 100000% recommend!

    An effortless wedding

    We got married at Rowton in March and I can’t thank the staff enough for how effortlessly and beautifully the day ran.

    We booked a late availability deal but had just under a year before the wedding. The package was brilliant, the staff were impeccable and the day ran like clockwork. They never lost patience before or during the wedding and catered really well for all requirements including one of my bridesmaids who has multiple allergies and intolerances. She usually feels like a problem when she goes out for food but it seemed like no problem at all for the team.

    If you want a day with nothing to worry about but getting in that dress and marrying the person you love in a beautiful location then Rowton is the place for you.

    It’s a day we’ll never forget, Rowton was the best choice of venue and I’m so glad we did it.

    Thank you so much to everyone at Rowton who made my wedding a success.

    Perfect Wedding Day

    Rowton castle are simply the best. If you are considering having your wedding here, just do it! The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and magical, especially if you able to get married outside. The staff are second to none, they are just incredible and all of our guests commented on it. We opted for a late availability package which had so much included, the whole wedding process from start to finish was so easy and stress free, they take care of everything and guide you through everything. They made our wedding day faultless, and we loved every minute. And tower house for bride and bridesmaids/family the night before is an added bonus. So many of our guests have said it is the best wedding they have ever been to! The food was really very good, and lots of it, and their recommended suppliers are all reliable and offer high quality services. Although every single staff member is amazing, Special thanks has to go to Ceri and Corryn pre wedding who dealt with any queries promptly and were super friendly and helpful, Abbie our MC on the day who was absolutely brilliant and put us completely at ease and Ryan who took over in the evening and helped us deal with an incident calmly and quickly. Couldn’t recommend highly enough it was truly our dream wedding and we wish we could do it all over again!

    Fantastic experience! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

    We made the best choice when we hired Rowton Castle for our wedding venue!
    It was a fairytale wedding, with sophisticated decoration, amazing food, a breathtaking and wonderful venue, and a great and dedicated staff. They made us feel special and took care of us; we didn't need to worry about anything.
    They have a list of suggested suppliers, and they are the best!
    We hired the last availability package for 40 people, and it was just what we needed. We had some flowers included, and we hired their florist Wendy Shaw, and she did a great job in the Castle and Church. The DJ was fantastic, and a buffet too! The venue also offered options for entertainment which didn't cost too much, and all guests had a lot to do during the day.
    We also had a photographer included, we could choose from 3, and we got Si Medlicott - he is a fantastic person and the best photographer ever, great sense of humour, attention to every detail, so kind and sweet. We felt blessed that Si was available for our big day!
    The sweet table was a success; we also had delicious evening food and a lovely fire pit.
    We had the best room in the castle, including a jacuzzi, most of our guests stayed there with us, and we had a great breakfast together before the check-out.
    It felt like a city break for everyone, and all the guests were amazed by the experience; it was magical and unforgettable.
    I highly recommend this venue! ❤️

    The best day ever!

    Rowton Castle was the only wedding venue we looked around, finding out it was only 15 minutes away from where we live was the icing on the cake for us. From the day we enquired, asked lots of questions and to every question told we could have everything we asked for... what else would a marrying could want?! We went to look around the castle, spoke to a variety of different members of staff, we just knew this was the venue we wanted to have our wedding at. The organisation from Ceri from start to finish was out of this world, nothing was too much. We stayed the evening before and my whole wedding party just couldn't stop saying how amazing everything was, the staff were on hand for anything. Our guests loved the venue, the relaxed atmosphere suited us all. The guests that stayed the night loved everything about their rooms and the breakfast the morning after. With my brother having to leave to fly back home early the next morning the kitchen put together a breakfast for him to take away which he assures me was fantastic! This is just one of the many things that made our wedding day perfect in every way. Thank you to all at Rowton Castle for making our day everything we could have dreamed of.
