About

Hedingham Castle is one of the most unique and romantic wedding venues in England, set in a privately owned estate of 160 acres within stunning Essex countryside. A Norman Keep, a Georgian Mansion House and elegant Ballroom Marquee provide the perfect setting for a magical day or wedding weekend.

Ceremonies at Hedingham Castle, for up to 130 guests, take place in the Banqueting Hall of the 900 year old Norman Castle, in a setting of great beauty and atmosphere.

Receptions can either be held in the Castle itself, maximum 70, or for up to 150 guests in the Hall of the Mansion House and the beautifully appointed Ballroom Marquee on the Tulip Lawn.

The Garden Cottage is provided for the bride to prepare in and for the use of the newlyweds on their first night together. Alternatively, couples can choose to spend their first night in the brand new honeymoon retreat, The Royal Chamber, which is situated inside the Castle itself, featuring stunning original features, colossal four poster bed, double bath and magical views across the countryside.

In a setting of lawns, lakes and woodland, Hedingham Castle is romantic and unique; a timeless place where your memories will last forever.

We cannot express our gratitude to you and the rest of your team. We had the most magical day and were continuously wowed by the attention to detail that enabled the day to run so smoothly. The venue was perfect but this was enhanced by all the staff we met; everyone went above and beyond to make the day special and they certainly succeeded. Hedingham Castle will always have a special place in our hearts and we cannot thank you enough.

From the moment we booked our wedding to the very end of the night on our wedding day we had full support from all the staff at Hedingham, they went over and above what I could have ever asked for and the wedding really was the best day of our lives. It is the most amazing venue and our guests were blown away- they can’t stop raving about the venue and staff. Can’t thank you all enough for everything, highly recommend having your wedding here.
