The Bloke's Guide to Getting Hitched

At Ripley Castle we help you to transform your dreams and ideas into reality. When the Marriage Act was altered in 1996 (on April Fool’s day: a nice touch, we thought) couples wanting to get married were able to do so for the first time in a venue other than a church or registry office. We were one of the first castles to be granted a licence to hold civil wedding ceremonies, and have worked incredibly hard ever since to ensure that every wedding day is individually organised down to the smallest detail.

We sit down with you to prepare a detailed programme and instructions sheet for the day so that everybody knows who is doing what and when: you get a copy too, so that you are always in control. At Ripley there is always someone at your shoulder; to answer queries, offer advice, receive instructions and help however they can, whatever the problem. In an emergency we cope. We take the trouble so that you can relax and enjoy the whole day.

Our wedding package includes the cost of the champagne reception, the meal, the wines and the mineral waters that accompany it, and some of your flower arrangements: our florists will happily create floral arrangements to your chosen colours and styles. The fantastic thing about Ripley is that you know well in advance exactly what your wedding is going to cost you, and can plan for it accordingly. You pay the bulk of the expenses up front so it’s one less thing to worry about afterwards, and we keep extras to a minimum. It’s your big day: we take the trouble so you just enjoy yourselves!
