Description:
Create a lifetime of memories for you and your wedding guests at Leeds Castle. Surrounded by 500 acres of parkland and gardens, Leeds Castle is an idyllic setting for the most romantic of weddings in any season.

The castle and its magnificent grounds are owned by the Leeds Castle Foundation - a charitable trust established in 1974 by the castle’s last private owner, the Hon Olive, Lady Baillie. She, like so many other illustrious owners, fell in love with Leeds, and its care and conservation became her life’s work.

A choice of venues within the castle and its grounds combine to create the perfect setting for your wedding ceremony and celebrations. From your initial enquiry to the great day itself our service is tailored to meet your specific wishes and ensure that your wedding day is perfect.

The Library, Dining Room, Gatehouse and Maiden’s Tower are all licensed for civil marriage and partnership ceremonies. A choice of impressive settings is also available for your reception – from banquets in marquees on the lawns, to small intimate gatherings of family and friends in the castle.
