European Castle Weddings 

Theme weddings are all the rage, and probably the most popular wedding themes involve turning back the hands of time, a longing for a time when chivalry and romance were an integral part of everyday life and men and women spoke in a regal language.  In short, many couples today are opting to hold their medieval or Renaissance weddings in genuine medieval castles.

Medieval castles are available for weddings in almost every country of Europe.

Fortunately there is no shortage of medieval castles which are available for wedding ceremonies in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy and elsewhere in Europe.  It is recommended that you or your experienced wedding planner choose a castle and begin making arrangements well ahead of your planned wedding date as many castles are booked months in advance.

Your medieval castle wedding will be complete with full costume, music and trained actors.

An experienced wedding planner can do a lot more than simply book the castle for your wedding.  A friendly wedding planner can also make all of the arrangements for costumes, period music, torches or other mood lighting, and find actors who can help bring the time period to life with their speech and actions.  A period wedding can be a great deal of fun for everyone involved and can help turn your special day into a memorable event that everyone will talk about fondly for years to come.

Your fun and romantic medieval castle wedding should follow a religious or a civil wedding.  A period wedding is what is commonly referred to as a symbolic wedding, a ceremony which may have great meaning and significance to you, but which has no legal standing.

Your wedding reception will also be held in a medieval castle, complete with mugs of grog and mead for your family and guests. 

Your medieval castle should also be the location for you theme wedding reception, complete with old-fashioned mugs of mead and grog, with period music and period dancing, with jugglers and mimes, and flickering torchlight illuminating your honest-to-goodness medieval castle wedding and reception.

 If your dream has always been to walk down a torch-lit isle in a genuine 12th century castle, then there’s no reason why that dream shouldn’t come to life in all the glory and splendor that is the Middle Ages.  Come, my princess, your medieval castle awaits!
