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.

We cannot tell you how wonderful the team were at Clearwell Castle. Our wedding coordinator Phaedra was exceptional. Attention to detail and everyone of the team from front of house, waiting staff, grounds men and the DJ made our day absolutely everything we dreamed of and unique to us.

So many our guest commented on the quality of the food and that it was the best wedding they had been too! The children loved the magic of the castle and opportunity to get outside and see the grounds.

The grooms family had a fabulous time staying in the cottages the night before and our guests at both the The Castle and The Wyndham had a fabulous stay on the night of the wedding.

Wish we could do it all again!

Just sat here reflecting on my Daughter's wedding yesterday. Such a beautiful venue, inside and out.

Emily the wedding coordinator was absolutely fantastic, all the staff are so helpful and organised. The food was superb and everyone had such a fantastic time. I highly recommend this venue. Perfect from start to finish. Everyone in the wedding party had such a lovely day. It really is such a lovely place.

We are on cloud 9 after our beautiful wedding. Clearwell Castle made a fairy tale wedding come true.

Phaedra, our Personal Wedding Manager, we would like to thank her from the bottom of our hearts. She absolutely incredible from start to finish.

The venue dressing really made me emotional in the morning it looked so beautiful.

Clearwell Castle was decorated as we had hoped and looked stunning with the Christmas trees. The external areas of the castle were impeccable and well maintained.

Our wedding planner Emily was very efficient fantastic in organising every detail of the day and ensuring everything ran like clockwork and she could not have done more to make the day a success. She took away a lot of stress.

Clearwell Castle made the day memorable for us both.

Thank you!

We had our wedding here the Sunday just gone. Everything was exceptional from start to finish. Our wedding coordinator Emily was outstanding, and the venue is absolutely beautiful, and I mean breath taking.

We haven’t stopped getting messages from our guests about our wedding saying how incredible the whole day and evening was.

The castle was decorated beautifully, super clean and overall perfect. The gardens are absolutely stunning and well kept, the whole grounds are gorgeous. The bedrooms were all stunning and very well cleaned.

The service before our wedding - Absolutely amazing, we originally booked with Charlotte and she made the whole process so easy and kept up updated. Cannot fault Emily one bit, anytime we had any questions she would always get back to us so quickly was very helpful. Everyone was so friendly and smiley, cannot fault any of the staff!

Canapes were wonderful, served beautifully and nice and hot! Cannot fault the evening food, was served very nicely and all very hot! Welcome drinks were wonderful, very nicely made and presented. Emily, you were an absolute star and we thank you so much for everything you did for us leading up to and on the day of our wedding!

First of all, the team know what they're doing. They are extremely organised, since the first enquiry to the end of the wedding day and the next morning, they have exceeded our expectations. They have made it so easy for us.

We just needed to make a few decisions, but all the right questions were asked and delivered exactly as per our requests, they took care of everything. Lucy, our Wedding Manager was brilliant to work with and she's lovely. We have expected at least some things to go wrong on the day, but nothing did. Lucy and Team are very experienced.

We have also been able to visit the castle as many times as we wanted prior to the wedding. We went to check out all the HUGE rooms with cocktails in our hands and canapes being served too (it was useful to see all the rooms prior and after booking the venue as we have allocated rooms to our guests and could then see who is staying where. There's a jacuzzi in the honeymoon suite!). The dinner/tasting date was amazing too. Food was again, so much better than what we thought it would be, it was excellent and our guests said the same. Cocktails and canapes were brilliant, everyone loved them! And let's not forget the evening buffet and morning breakfast. Excellent food!

And for those of you having the wedding in the colder months - do not worry, the castle is very warm, they have fire places and can increase heating for you as much as needed! And best of all - you get the whole place to yourself! There will be no strangers lurking around, just you and your guests. We could not recommend this place and team who work there any more!
