Which Wedding Package for my Budget ...
What will my Budget Buy?
For a Budget of £3,000
See our Low Cost Wedding Offer. Next 7 - 8 months only (to fill unsold dates in main wedding season only).

You'll need 40 guests overnight. Includes Wedding Banquet & Welcome Drinks.
I can only spend £4,000
This budget is fine for 2024 wedding dates. Your Best Option is the Afternoon Tea & Buffet Package for 40 guests. You can book this on any Sun or Weds-Thur or any empty weekend in next 6 months.
My Budget is £4,500
More choice, look at the Offers. Check out the Last Minute Deal - 50 guests, any date in next 6 months
I can stretch to £5,000
Options are now a Last Minute for more guests, or our more intimate, budget-friendly Intimate Wedding Package for 25 guests for either 2024 (£4500) or 2025 (£5000)
I can go to £5,500
This gives you a Last Minute Wedding Package for over 60 day guests, or the Intimate for 30-35 guests (2024), or the Intimate for 25 guests in 2026, or the Tea & Buffet Package for around 60 guests in 2025 or 2026.
My Budget is £6,000
Options: 1. Larger Last Minute, 2. Larger Intimate, 3. Larger Tea & Buffet wedding. This budget is a bit low to push ahead into 2025 and 2026 other than with Intimate Wedding Package & the great value Afternooon Tea & Buffet wedding.
Budget £7,000
With this Budget, you can book a midweek (Sun to Thurs) wedding in 2025 for 50 - 52 guests. This is a full traditional wedding day and evening wedding package.
Budget £8,000
This will allow a Midweek Day & Evening Wedding Wedding Package for 50 guests in 2026, or 60 guests in 2025.
Budget around £9,000
Choose either the Midweek Package for higher numbers or later years, or the Friday wedding package for 60 guests in either 2025 or 2026.
Budget approx £10,000
Now you have a wider range of options - Last Minute, Intimate, Midweek, Friday, all with higher numbers, or even a Saturday Wedding for 70 guests in 2025-2026
Budget £11,000
Wide range of options as per previous slides, including a Saturday Wedding for 80 guests in 2025, or 70 guests in 2026.
Budget £12,000-£14,000
Steadily increases your numbers! Choose between a Friday or Saturday wedding, at lower numbers in later years, or higher numbers in earlier years.
Budget £14,000-£15,000
You are now eligible for the VIP Exclusive Two Day Wedding in 2025. Incredibly, this £32,000 value wedding, due to almost £10,000 worth of discounts and high accommodation use by your guests, actually costs you as the Couple, under £14,000
£16,000-£18,000 or more
Massive choice but the 3 best packages to go for are the Saturday Wedding for higher numbers, or if you've lots of people staying, the Weekend VIP package, for two full days (70 guests or more). Finally, if you've fewer guests staying but have over 100 guests, see the Ultimate Wedding Package. This starts at £17.5k for 100 guests in 2025, or £19k for 100 guests in 2026.
Surprised? In fact, our rates are around 30% lower.
Has this Budget Planner surprised you? Rest assured, other equivalent venues have higher tariffs. But if you find otherwise, and you truly desire a castle wedding, we WILL price match!
