After having researched wedding venues and prices quite comprehensively, and having visited some rather picturesque wedding venues,we decided to have our wedding at Peckforton castle. Initially I had many worries including that of hidden costs, because the prices seemed rather deceptively economical. We were convinced there was a catch somewhere, but to our absolute delight everything was an absolutely perfectly choreographed dream sequence.

The staff were not only competent and professional, but had that extra je ne sais quois that made crazy Bridezilla's (that I am ashamed to admit I had become) settle into a comforted coo. Leading upto the wedding we were late with dietary requirements, guest lists and everything else you could name, and the wedding coordinators were flexible and understanding. There were so many things we forgot, so many gaps in our last minute rush that the hotel stuff magically resolved without a word.

Driving up to the event our guests were wowed by the beautiful country side that guarded the castle like a hushed enchantment. The drive through the gatehouse one doesn't quite expect to have to drive through what feels like enchanted wood leading to a fairy tale. The castle hides its modern amenities with dignified elegance and subtly. The castle itself served as a rather fabulous frame for our wedding photographs, and the Hexagonal room was rather enchanting with its exquisite furniture in the soft glow of candle light.

A majority of our guests that stayed over night were similarly impressed by the elegance and authenticity of the rooms, professional competence of the staff and the reasonable rates.

Overall the perfectionist in me was satisfied with the quality of the service, the elegance of the venue and the value for money. Highly recommended to every nit pickitty Bridezilla, this is truly a place that is considerate of our Bridal demands.
