For your ceremony, there are several perfect settings to choose from, inside and out. Many of the Castle’s rooms are licensed for ceremonies, so our wedding planner can help you craft the perfect backdrop to your special day. Say your vows in the stunning Orangery, where large French windows open onto a charming terrace, ideal for canapes and a glass of fizz. Or take your ceremony outside — the Pagoda sits above the Castle, with breathtaking sea views, while the Olive Garden offers a truly special more private setting. Or say ‘I do’ on the Clifftops Roof Terrace boasting one of the best views of the Channel, with the Castle standing proudly behind. Expansive lawns lead to the enchanting Italian Garden and the romantic English Rose Garden — fantastic corners for capturing photo memories of your special day. The wedding breakfast can be a formal occasion in the dining room, or a less formal event in the Orangery, spilling out onto the terrace. We regularly work with hand-picked caterers, or choose your own. Drinks packages are available too. Once the feast is over, the celebrations can continue with dancing and a party in the luxurious surroundings of the Castle, making every moment truly special. And when the lights are dimmed, guests can head to gorgeous on-site accommodation, whether it’s a room inside the Castle or in one of the Clifftops lodges. Make a full weekend of the occasion to enjoy the facilities of this exclusive retreat with friends and relatives. ## Additional Features - Marquee Facilities - Wedding Catering - Wedding Planner - Civil Licence ## Facilities - **WiFi:** Free WiFi available throughout. - **Kitchen:** Fully equipped large kitchen in Penn Castle.
