Reviews for Rowton Castle
Fairytale Wedding
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.
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.
An effortless wedding
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
Fantastic experience! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
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! ❤️

December wedding
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!
