Absolutely Incredible!
One massive thank you to you all. You were all incredible and I am so grateful. From the moment we met you all last summer, you instilled confidence and professionalism on all matters of the wedding and you’ve all been a pleasure to work with. You all made the wedding go beautifully and I’ll never forget that. Doug and I had the best time - literally the best day of our lives. Pippa, you and your team were so brilliant and thank you for thinking of everything. Blew me away with your thoroughness and the day flowed perfectly thanks to you. Phil+Kathryn, the food was amazing and everyone said so. The canapés were delicious and the meal itself was perfect. Absolutely delicious. I think food is such a memorable aspect from a wedding, so a massive thank you. Could not falt it. Plus all your staff were brilliant. So polite, friendly and happy to help anyone. Please thank them all from us. Doug is very grateful to one of the waiters who looked after him with water and drinks before guests arrived in the great hall. You’ve made our wedding day just perfect in every way possible and we are eternally grateful. You are all superstars and all the guests said so! We’ve had so many comments of it being the best wedding they’ve been to. And it’s down to you all. So a huge thank you and I’ll be singing your praises to anyone who asks about weddings at Berkeley castle!

Absolutely perfect!
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for everything yesterday, it was absolutely perfect and we couldn't have hoped for a more magical day. You (and your team) must have worked so hard yesterday and yet it felt so smooth and calm - we are so grateful for everything. The venue, Brook House, Blossom cottage it was all absolutely perfect.

What an amazing day in a wonderful setting
What a fantastic day. We feel very privileged to have been in a Castle with so much history. Roxy & Matt's happiness was written on their faces, such joy was contagious. We could not have wished for more, thank you so much.

The most perfect day
A wedding in castle, not many people can say they got married in a castle. Everything about the day was perfect. I can not thank the team at Berkeley Castle enough for making our day so special. Nothing was too much, they were completely into our day as much as we were, professional, helpful, incredibly coordinated down to every second and the communication from them was great. We didn’t do the traditional wedding day and asked to change a lot of the dynamics around, it worked seamlessly, thanks to them. It’s been six months and guests from our wedding still talk about the castle and the team. I would highly recommend Berkeley Castle as a wedding venue. Absolutely perfect.
