A Rowton Castle Bride & Groom took the time to write the following Rowton Castle reviews…..
Firstly let us begin by thanking you for all your help and support leading up to our wedding day. From our very first initial enquiry, which was responded to quickly and efficiently, you made the whole process of organising our wedding day more straight forward that we could have ever hoped for. The wedding package and checklist ensured we didn’t forget anything, and your advice on the quantity of food and drink that would be needed for the day meant that no guest was left wanting for anything.
On the wedding day we were made to feel so welcome and relaxed from the moment we walked in to the venue, creating a wonderful first impression for my Mum and Dad. And the fact that all of our guests’ rooms were available by 1pm and the check-in process for everyone went without any hitches meant that everyone’s life was made a little easier.
Gareth’s constant presence throughout the day ensured everyone and everything was exactly where they needed to be at the right time. And his help, advice and support proved invaluable.
Everything looked amazing from the way the ceremony room was laid out and then the transformation to the wedding breakfast layout which took our breath away (we had a vision of what it would look like but the team managed to make it a reality without any help from us at all!). Your team’s attention to detail is second to none. The wedding breakfast itself far exceeded our expectations in terms of quality and quantity and this was echoed by all of our guests.
Everyone made comments about the beauty of the castle wedding venue and how streamlined and effortlessly the whole team performed throughout the day. And can we just point out the teams commitment to our wedding day continued until the minute we checked out the following day (after a wonderful breakfast!). I think you will find Simon’s best man still walking around telling anyone who will listen how amazing Rowton Castle is!
We would appreciate it if you could pass on our thanks to every single member of the team for all of the parts they played in making our wedding day truly a day to remember.

Throughout several years, we have been refurbishing Rowton Castle, and have used Jaci Vianna as our Interior Designer.
Maintaining and improving Rowton Castle’s interior is an ongoing task! The refurbishment of all 19 bedrooms are now complete, in keeping with the architecture and history of our wonderful castle, as well as being beautiful to look at and relaxing to occupy. Our guests agree.
Our most recent phase was completed in January; we now have a newly furnished, light, warm, welcoming hotel reception.
All this work has been very well received, and we feel, has contributed to our success in continued popularity with bookings, which seems to buck the trend of the current economic climate.
We would recommend Jaci to anyone looking for interior design advice, whether it be for a large commercial project or a small private one.
She can be contacted by Email: jaci@jacivianna.co.uk

Rowton Castle Reviews such as this are always a pleasure to receive as we strive to remain one of the top midlands wedding venues………..
This is just a quick message before we head off on honeymoon as we have to say a huge THANK YOU to one and all…
We have had, quite simply, the most magical wedding day imaginable at Rowton Castle. Fun, friendly, classy, slick, sophisticated and of the highest quality is what immediately springs to mind. We got that gut feeling when we first looked around the place and we’re so so glad we went with our instinct. A Simply Magnificent wedding venue.
From the minute we arrived, we were treated like royalty, spoke to warmly but respectfully and made to feel fully at home where nothing was too much trouble. The Exclusive Use Package certainly helped made this possible.
Caroline, you’ve personally been a superstar the whole way though. Quietly efficient, so open and receptive to all of our extra (and even strange) requests! Organisationally you are brilliant – everything was in its place, relayed to the day staff and it worked like clockwork.
Keith was an absolute marvel. He was the best hospitality has to offer – interested in and receptive and engaging with us and our wedding – excited like it was the first time he’d done it – but so on top of everything that his professionalism was an obvious treatment to the hundreds of times he must have actually done this! (He even laughed at the right bits during my speech – good man!
Gareth’s dealing with the power cut was example of his overall skills too – graceful swan on the surface, treading water like mad underneath! – he panicked no – one, dealt with the immediate inconvenience by sourcing 20 or so torches ‘just like that’ and then got the electricity board out pronto (but made them wait until the end of the function to avoid any danger of interrupting the downstairs power supply). I was kept ‘completely in the dark’ over the whole incident but Abby was very impressed at the handling of it as was everyone else.
All the staff stuck that unique blend of second guessing what we wanted: being on hand when we needed them and being completely invisible and not at all intrusive, allowing us and our guests to fully enjoy a very memorable weekend.
Behind the scenes too, housekeeping were lovely and so efficient, particularly with the bridesmaid and myself swapping rooms on the wedding day.
The food was all wonderful, especially considering you were catering for large numbers – so pleased also thank the chef and his team.
And it’s not just us who have these words of praise! All guest commented on how wonderful the venue is and how the staff completed that picture.
It’s one thing having the perfect wedding venue, it’s another thing entirely to then make the occasion as perfect as it actually was.
Thank you all once again.
