As we approach the winter season, we can once more look
forward to a totally different wedding at the Castle. With the roaring fires,
mulled wine and beautifully lit candles adorning our Great Hall, the
autumn/winter season is a romantic and magical time of year.
As the leaves begin to fall, and the days become shorter and
shorter, the Castle transforms into a rich and vibrant venue, the perfect place
to share your dream wedding.
Gone are the days when summer weddings are the most sought
after, indeed we now find our autumn months just as popular. The vivid autumnal
colours, and the stark white frosts of winter create a magical setting to say
‘I do’.
Here are some reasons why we love our upcoming season at the
Castle:
¶
Without the pressures of needing a perfect sunny
day (as is often the way in the summer), you can relax knowing that The Great
Hall and Drawing Rooms are just as spectacular as our Grounds & Gardens. The
huge roaring fires in all our rooms create a beautifully cosy and intimate
setting.
¶
The catering choices for autumn and winter are
endless with stews, dumplings, pies and soups being a fabulous and warming
treat for your guests. Why not try mulled cider, or toffee apples for extra
fun!
¶
The smells of cinnamon and spice heighten the
autumnal ambience and create a cosy and comforting feel to your special day.
¶
Why not consider a dusk wedding, creating a
wonderfully atmospheric experience for you and your guests. Choose warm candles
and fairy lights to enhance the mood.
¶
Branches, twigs and even small trees can make
fantastic decorative centre pieces, using russet leaves and berries to really
make a statement.
¶
The Castle is a photographer’s dream, and with
the cold frosts and magical mists that descend, they are sure to capture some
breath-taking shots for you to treasure forever.
¶
The festive period is always a popular time to
get married and the Castle is the most splendid venue for a Christmassy experience
with our 12 ft tree decorating the Great Hall.
