Research is key when it comes to choosing a wedding venue. We searched, we compared, we visited and we took advice, and after it all, we found our dream venue, Clearwell Castle. The grounds are stunning, the rooms are breath taking, and the list of boxes the venue’ ticks’ just goes on and on.

We were able to feed and rest weary travellers when flights were cancelled, we held a pre-wedding party the night before at the venues very own historic public house. Summer, in charge of the Wyndham public house was fantastic. It was a sheer delight to witness the faces of guests as they drove up to the castle entrance, revealing medieval splendour like no other.

The amazing staff relieved us of all stress, with Hannah, our very own wedding manager controlling the whole event like a seasoned professional. We can not thank Ann the venue manager and her whole staff enough. All our suppliers and contractors were well looked after and all points of contact were flawless. The way we helped plan the running order and how it just flowed is all down to the experience of the Castle staff. We know how important reviews are for wedding venues, and if you are reading this, you are probably doing your research, so we want to convey what a superb venue Clearwell Castle really is.

Thank you for taking the time to read our review, and we hope, like us, you make the right choice for your special day. Chose Clearwell Castle, and you have chosen well.

My wife, who has walking difficulties, and I attended Sarah’s wedding and thoroughly enjoyed the attentiveness of all your staff, but Genene stood out for us,  She organised a change of our bedroom in the court yard so that we were on the ground floor and explained all the disabled access solutions.  This allowed us to enjoy the proceedings without further worry

At every turn, and there were many, Genene was happy to help, always with a smile and nothing it seemed was too much trouble.  Please thank all your staff, but particularly Genene, for helping us to relax and soak up the occasion.
