Lumley Castle Hotel

rolled out in the Barron’s hall to walk down the aisle to and we were married under a beautiful tree arch with candles, hanging tealights and beautiful scenery. It looked like something from a fairytale. We then were entertained by a Court Jester during our drinks reception in the atmospheric dungeon bar and had a five course theatrical banquet. The staff went out of their way to set the theme- with a sword fight, handfasting, a personalised presentation on the story of our relationship and live music. Our master of ceremonies really entertained our guests and there was an exciting part where the lights went out “to go back in time” it was a really fun surprise. The food was lovely- really filling- so much so that we had to force the hog roast down on the night. Ben, the ops manager ran our day really efficiently and made sure we were happy throughout the day. We really felt like VIPs. Lindsey, Heidi, Ben, Mike and the rest of the wedding/entertainment team are a credit to Lumley Castle and we cannot thank them enough. The staff in the restaurant also really went out of their way to cater for allergies and were more than happy to arrange a lovely breakfast sent to our honeymoon suite. We stayed in the King James suite and it was fit for royalty with a jacuzzi, four poster bed, sitting area and some really quirky features. I cannot recommend them as a venue enough and we would choose them again and again. So many of our guests commented saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to and how personalised it was.

from the staff.

The venue is spectacular and the addition of having the rooms for all the guests to stay in one place was superb also - meant the entire weekend was intimate and special only for us.

Huge thanks to the wedding and catering team for everything they did, not one person complained about anything !

Bar staff, well having a lot of rugby friends, your work was cut out but nothing was too much and you excelled!

Truly special place with amazing staff and I would give Lumley Castle a 6 star rating out of 5 if I could!

Thank you for making our day / weekend so special.

attentive (from those behind the bar, to those serving our meal, to the wedding coordinators). They made every single guest feel welcome and were a vital cog in the perfection of the day itself.

The food was superb. Catering at large occasions such as this typically requires a compromise in either quantity or quality. However, this was not the case at Lumley where the wedding breakfast was both incredibly delicious and the serving sizes were perfect.

Many thanks for making our wedding day perfect.

to our wedding day.. and wow. Staff and venue were phenomenal. Keith looked after us on the big day and he is an absolute credit to the company, I could write a whole review on Keith alone. We really didn’t feel a single bit of stress or worry as he took it all away. Reception staff (Dean and Andrew) amazing! Smiled and friendly for the 3 days we were there! The venue was breath taking and all of our guests were blew away. I would 100% recommend Lumley Castle for any occasion! We just can’t commend the staff enough. Kayleigh and Sam
