Rowton Castle Hotel & Restaurant

Rowton Castle Was Exceptional, Surpassed Expectations!!!

A couple who chose Rowton Castle as their dream castle wedding venue, very kindly took the time to write a letter regarding their Exclusive Use wedding day….

I am writing to thank you for all your help on our fantastic wedding in February.  Every step of the way you provided advice and guidance from assistance with menu choice down to when to stand and take our seats during the wedding speeches.  For such an important day I had no doubt that everything would be wonderful.  As we got married 50 miles away we were unable to check how everything was progressing with the setup of the suite, but when I saw it for the first time I was stunned how marvellous the room looked.  I would also like to thank you for all the small extras you did for us; placing our extras in the toilets, laying out cards in friend’s bedrooms, storing our thank you gifts, and even posting back left items the following day without charge.

Caroline the wedding co-ordinator helped us every step of the way assisting us in organising our payments and putting up with my endless OCD emails regarding the planning and the finer details.  I was slightly concerned that on the day Caroline was not on duty, however Debbie exceeded our expectations.    She was fantastic on the day, every small detail I had left instruction on had been completed.  She mingled with guests and made everyone feel welcome.  All of our guests said how amazing the staff were on the wedding day, the bar staff also received compliments on their friendly manner and professionalism.

The food also surpassed my expectations.  We have been to a number of weddings and people accept that the standard of food will be adequate; however the food at Rowton Castle was exceptional.  I have no idea how your chef managed to get 60 poached eggs perfectly runny!  The evening banquet was just as good, so many people took photographs of the hog roast!

I would like to thank all of the team at Rowton Castle for making our wedding day so perfect, and for that I wanted to write a genuine letter of gratitude for a fantastic day.

We will strongly be recommending you in the future.  Many thanks.

Everything about Rowton Castle as a Wedding Venue was Exceptional!!

As a civil ceremony wedding venue “You could not fail to be impressed”

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thank you for all you and your team did to make our wedding day in January so special.

Everyone we have dealt with has been fantastic, from Jack’s enthusiasm to Caroline and Gareth’s professionalism we have never failed to be impressed by everything Rowton Castle has been able to offer and deliver as a wedding venue.

We would like to especially thank Gareth and his team who ensured our wedding day was so memorable. He put everyone at ease and the flexibility he showed in managing the over running speeches and singing firemen and waiters was first class.

All our guests have commented on the high quality of food and service we received so please pass on our thanks to the kitchen team also for their efforts.

Everything about Rowton Castle as a wedding venue was exceptional and everyone who attended could not fail to be impressed. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who was looking for an exclusive use wedding venue.

Once again thank you for all you did for us on our wedding day.

The Food was Gorgeous, the Service Fantastic!!

After reading the wedding venue reviews online we were already feeling confident about Rowton Castle, but it completely blew us and our guests away!

We got married at Rowton Castle February this year and it was amazing in every single way! The staff were fantastic from the moment we first set foot in the place over a year ago.

The castle itself is beautiful.   It is romantic, decorated to an amazing standard (one of our ushers who travels a lot with his job said it was the nicest room he had ever stayed in) and has wonderful grounds for wedding photography. The staff were probably my favorite people on the planet for the 24hours that we had the place!

John the wedding-manager for the day kept me exactly where I needed to be all day, he even sorted out the order my bridesmaids and pageboys would walk down the aisle! He took care of literally everything, even the last minute bits that I had forgotten about till I got there!

Debbie was lovely, incredibly helpful and funny, and seemed to be there every time I thought of a daft question;

Danni on the reception desk was an absolute darling and was so lovely to all our guests and Lewis was a complete star! From helping to lug crates full of table decorations in through the delivery entrance the night before, to ringing the florists husband on the morning to get her to bring extra flowers that I suddenly realised I needed and bringing up drinks and food to us whenever we needed it on the morning, nothing was too much!

Finally, Caroline the wedding co-ordinator at the wedding venue was superb for putting my mind at rest whenever I had daft questions to ask (and there were a few!).

The civil ceremony location was beautiful and the room looked incredible, the turnaround for the wedding meal was PERFECT, I had spent loads of time planning exactly how I wanted my tables decorated and a big chunk of our budget went on asthetics, I nipped in to see how things were looking after the pictures, expecting to have to move stuff, and I swear I nearly fainted – it was all perfect and looked stunning!

The food was gorgeous, the service was fantastic, even the bar staff in the evening were absolute diamonds!

Breakfast the next day was lovely as well and a great opportunity to chat again to all our guests before they left.

I honestly cannot recommend Rowton Castle highly enough, after reading the wedding venue reviews online was already feeling confident but it completely blew us and our guests away.

Wendy (resident florist) did a wonderful job of our flowers, Linda (makeup) made me look lovely and told me I looked like Holly Willougbhy which is always a bonus! Mel (Hairdresser) was also wonderful and so many people told me how amazing my hair looked on the day. Will Tudor (DJ) is essential for anyone booking a wedding here, he seriously seemed to have access to any song my guests requested, no matter how obscure and was an all round excellent bloke!

Think that covers it, but I am so so glad that we booked Rowton Castle as our wedding venue, can’t imagine having had our wedding day elsewhere!
