Leeds Castle

Weddings and Civil Ceremonies

Rising majestically from the still waters of its moat, surrounded by 500 acres of parkland and gardens, Leeds Castle in Kent is an idyllic venue for the most romantic of weddings, whatever the season. As you enter the Castle, the daylight streaming in through the beautiful long French window and soft colours of the room bring a sense of calm. The room fills with your chosen music as you make your way towards the Registrar to say your vows. At the end of your ceremony, your friends and family will be able to watch you sign the marriage register and take stunning photographs. As you walk back down the aisle and into the Castle Library, our staff will greet you with a glass of chilled champagne.

The Maiden’s Tower 

The Maiden’s Tower is an elegant, exclusive hire venue adjacent to the Castle, available for up to 80 guests. The 16th century stone building, used for weekend house parties in the 1920s, is now a glamorous self-contained venue perfect for your wedding ceremony, evening celebrations and overnight accommodation. Prepare in one of the five en-suite bedrooms, all beautifully decorated in period style with a contemporary twist, offering views across the moat to the golf course and surrounding parkland. Make your way down the oak staircase, or for something different, enter through French doors leading into your ceremony room from the charming walled garden. Following your ceremony, take your seats for a delicious fine dining experience. You and your guests can continue the celebrations in the photogenic garden on a fine evening. Your photographer can also capture stunning photographs in the grounds of the Castle. Your choice of entertainment will provide the perfect end to your evening.

Leeds Castle is located just off Junction 8 of the M20, midway between London and the Channel Ports, with excellent links to the UK motorway network.
