The Grounds and Gardens of Herstmonceux Castle is the perfect fairytale wedding venue.
The name Herstmonceux is itself a fusion of surnames between Idonea de Herste and nobleman Ingelram de Monceux. It is fitting that such a superb wedding venue has romantic beginnings and explains why couples marrying at Herstmonceux Castle feel it a romantic ambience beyond the beautiful setting.
Outside you and your guests can enjoy acres of parkland, carefully maintained lawns and formal period gardens containing hundreds of species of flowers and plants as well as an enclosed court yard and bridge entrance over the castle moat.
Inside we have a range of beautiful rooms to choose from. Depending on the size of your party we can provide an intimate rustic room with open fireplace and high ceilings or should you have a grand banquet in mind our magnificent ballroom is ideal for a reception to remember.
