A Fairy-tale Castle Wedding Venue in the Heart of Gloucestershire

From the moment we booked, the team have been fabulous!

We could not have wished for a more picturesque venue with such catering staff. Any requests we had were sorted and we knew that someone was always a phone call or email away. We were supported throughout the experience which made it more effortless for us as a couple planning the biggest day of our lives. We were made to feel that no question was a stupid question even if we thought it might be.

The night before our big day, we were able to access our accommodation easily and Anne welcomed us going over any last-minute notes for the next day. On the day of our wedding, a breakfast hamper was delivered to both accommodations with Anne’s words of wisdom calming us both. As the day went on, the staff were phenomenal with requests and questions and supported us and calmed us throughout. We were talked through every step which really put our minds at ease.

When Anne finished for the day, she passed us onto Phaedra who was equally as amazing as Anne. When complications with the singer occurred, Phaedra helped calm me down and assure me when he arrived and that everything was going to plan as the singer was a surprise.

Overall, the Clearwell Castle staff are amazing, from the wedding managers to the bar staff and cleaners! Thank you so much for making our day the most special it could be. Our guests are still talking about it now all these months on.

Lucy Edwards was an absolute gem throughout our entire wedding journey, and we cannot thank her enough for making our special day truly unforgettable.

From the very beginning, her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care put us at ease. She went above and beyond at every step, anticipating our needs and ensuring everything ran seamlessly.

On the wedding day, Lucy’s calm presence and meticulous coordination allowed us to fully enjoy every moment without a single worry. Her dedication, creativity, and passion for what she does shone through, and we are forever grateful for the magic she brought to our wedding.

Lucy isn’t just a wedding manager—she’s a true miracle worker, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for perfection.

The wedding breakfast was very well presented and tasteful.

Attended for a friend's wedding. Beautiful venue inside and out. The gardens were picture perfect. Loads of rooms to celebrate in. Food was amazing.

So glad that we chose Clearwell Castle as our wedding venue and Emily as our wedding planner. From initial viewing, food tasting and meetings with Emily we had a brilliant day that ran like clockwork, great service from all the staff, lovely food (wedding breakfast, evening buffet and family and friends breakfast before departure).

Gorgeous accommodation especially the bridal suite. Wish we had longer to enjoy it.. One of the great things about this venue is that you're not stuck in one room all day. The run of the castle is yours all day. Ballroom for ceremony and reception, comfortable lounges and bar post ceremony and dedicated nightclub and chill out areas for evening disco. Disco was great and for a Monday school night in January the venue was full until midnight. Overall considering what was included and the complimentary upgrade this was fantastic value for money. Absolutely recommend.

We had our wedding at Clearwell Castle on Saturday 10th May, and we honestly cannot praise the venue and team highly enough. The castle itself is absolutely stunning, set in a breathtaking location with immaculate grounds that made for the perfect backdrop to our special day.

From start to finish, the staff were exceptional – nothing was too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to make everything seamless. The food was incredible throughout the day, with every detail beautifully presented and full of flavour.

A special mention must go to Ann, our wedding manager on the day. Despite stepping in last minute due to our original wedding manager leaving, Ann was the epitome of professionalism. She was calm, kind, and completely on top of every detail, helping the day to run like clockwork. We felt truly looked after and supported. We would also like to do a special thank you to Janine who took over from Ann in the evening seamlessly, truly helpful and amazing at what she does.

If you’re considering Clearwell Castle for your wedding, do not hesitate. It’s the most magical venue with an outstanding team behind it. Thank you to everyone who made our day so unforgettable.

Emily was everything I could have asked for! She supported us throughout the process, gave guidance when required and made our vision come to life. Emily was absolutely amazing, a credit to the venue and an integral part of our experience.

All the pictures looked amazing with the grounds in the background. Everyone went above and beyond, had no complaints and everything was done in a timely manner.

Phaedra was amazing, didn’t bother me too much on the day but coordinated everything perfectly and brought my vision to life with minimal instructions. The food all tasted great and there was plenty. Phaedra was absolutely amazing and the perfect person to have on our side.

The grounds are extremely well kept and such a beautiful seasonal array of flowers. Laura was fantastic at getting us booked in and providing lots of helpful advice and information.

Hannah and Ann were absolutely wonderful, made the entire process a breeze. The bar and waiting staff  went above and beyond the tasks asked of them.

Laura was fantastic at providing the info we needed to book. Everyone we've spoken to in the build-up has been beyond helpful, and our wedding planner Emily has been fantastic.

I don't know his name but there was one barman, a young guy with longish black hair, who was absolutely excellent on the day and a few of our guests commented how fantastic he was!

Emily has gone above and beyond, from little hints and tips in the build-up to the support on the day. I felt totally reassured that nothing was too much trouble and Emily was so easy to deal with and approachable. She was fantastic - thank you Emily!

The food was fantastic.
