Awards & Testimonials

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 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.

The castle was beautiful, and everything was perfect. From the amazingly tasting cocktails on arrival, the most intimate ceremony, the fabulous table display and stunning dinner.

One of the memories I will cherish is my mother and my children laughing whilst happily playing croquet on the lawn in the afternoon sun.

Being gluten intolerant is always a concern for me when dining. My concerns diminished as the staff knew of my needs even before I had mentioned it to them. I felt so relieved.

I am often excluded from eating the same foods as my family. On this occasion, I was able to enjoy the same two courses. It was then such a surprise to have a gluten-free cheesecake made especially for me. Please do thank the chef, as it really was the most delicious dessert I have ever had. During the evening, the staff had also prepared a gluten-free burger! I was so impressed.

Please thank the staff who were amazing. They were so professional, organised and kind. You all went out of your way to ensure the day went smoothly.

As guests we felt so special in such glorious surroundings. Celebrating Dan and Hannah’s wedding surrounded with the people we hold dear, the day couldn’t have been better.

Thank you to you and the staff for helping make some amazing memories.

we had an absolutely amazing wedding and the venue and staff exceeded our expectations.

All of our guests have continually told us how hard you all worked to ensure that the day went smoothly and I cannot thank you and your team enough for your hospitality.

The movement of the bar was an excellent idea! And the castle and grounds are just stunning.

We had a last-minute change of wedding planner, which was a little stressful at times, but Emma did an amazing job at picking everything up and always came back with a quick answer. Emma was fab! Very attentive and always there when we needed her to guide us on where to be.

Clearwell Castle is beautiful both inside and out. The interior was clean and very well presented, our guests loved the grandeur of the entrance room and were very impressed with the Ceremony space.

They found their rooms to be straight out of a period piece like Pride and Prejudice, and loved the whole vibe of the castle. We found the cellar to be our favourite space, the curved ceilings, dance floor, bar, and disco ball really helped our guests find the party atmosphere for the evening of our wedding.

The rooms were right out of Pride and Prejudice. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms were really clean and tidy. Our guests loved the subtle theming of the rooms as well. Communication on the build-up to the wedding was fantastic. This is where the staff really shined. The bar and serving staff were outstanding, there was too please and nothing was too much. They were quick to serve and keep cool when serving the food. We were very pleased with all the staff on the day.

Nick, our DJ, absolutely smashed it. He only took requests from me and my husband, the playlist was exactly what we wanted, and we found it hard to leave the dance floor, as did our guests. Thank you all so much for your support on the day. Emily was out wedding planner, and she was outstanding. ‘The best food I’ve ever had at a wedding’ One of our guests said the morning after the wedding. The food was hot, delicious and flavourful. It was even better than we remembered at the tasting. There were so many empty plates as we walked around the room.

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.

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.
