Bellingham Castle

Absolutely top draw. We got married here back in August 2023 and have return twice since for an evening when previous couples return for the same experience. You get the same experience and thought in to every little detail on these nights as you did on your wedding day. Food was incredible Staff are amazing And the venue and room are to die for. This is something that we will enjoy hopefully every year for the foreseeable. If you ever get the chance to go here you must. Special thanks to Tomas as always his friendliness and helpfulness is class act and decorating the room and buying us champagne and chocolates for my wife’s 40th birthday was lovely. See you next year 😘

Fantastic stay in Bellingham castle this weekend. The surroundings are as spectacular as the castle itself. The food was amazing and the service first class. Every where you turn in the castle there is another cosy room to sit and relax. The ballroom is stunning and the perfect wedding venue.

We got married in Bellingham Castle in October 2024. It was the first and only venue we viewed and we booked our wedding there on the first appointment as we fell in love with the venue and grounds, and whilst they are beautiful, we soon realised the Castle’s real selling point are the amazing staff who run it. We were shown around by Max, who was fantastic, providing advice on how best to utilise the venue on the day as well as making us feel so welcome, like we had arrived into someone’s home, and that it could be our home for the day. Throughout the year, I found the staff operate in a completely different level of hospitality compared to anywhere else I’ve been. Every email we have sent them has been responded to within an hour and no question or query left unresolved. Every single member of the team we interacted with were fantastic. For our final details appointment we had Max again and again he was amazing. No idea, thought or question was too much hassle. I told him I was convinced I would get an Indian summer day and not to worry about an inside wedding - and I was so hopeful we would get him as our coordinator on the day, but was advised that it may not happen and all the other coordinators were fabulous. However on the morning of my wedding as I pulled up for our first look in the gardens. There was Max. Waiting to greet us and help us down to the garden and from there the day was utterly seamless. We had incredible weather and married in the grounds with our drinks and canapés outside as I had hoped. The staff think of everything including ensuring the groom and I had drinks brought to us and a plate of canapés set aside so we actually got to eat something between all the hugs and photos during the reception. The food was the best I’ve ever experienced at a wedding and myself and my husband are incredibly fussy. But we were blown away. All of our guests have said the same thing, the food, accommodation and staff are absolutely incredible. A special shout out to Thomas who runs the dinner service in the Bute Suite. He is a gem. But it’s the personal touches that Bellingham Castle just inherently do without request that really make best in class. The staff arranged last minute meals for additional on the day for guests without issue, they brought an elderly guest who lives in the Care home in Castlebellingham, home in the evening with their van, so they were not struggling in the dark to get home, they provided a rose petal turn down, hand written cards and chocolates for us as a surprise in the honeymoon suite. My husband and I, were totally blown away at how wonderful the entire wedding was, and again thank you to all of the staff and Max who really is best in class at all he does. Bellingham Castle will hold a place in our hearts forever and we have already booked to stay with them again in 2025.
