Warwick Castle – The Wedding House

Warwick Castle - A fairytale Wedding Venue

Warwick Castle is one of the UK’s most theatrical fairytale wedding venues: a fully intact medieval fortress beside the River Avon, wrapped in roughly 60–64 acres of Capability Brown–style landscaped grounds. The vibe is grand, historic, and a little bit cinematic—think stone towers, candlelit corridors, and sweeping lawns for photos.

Ceremony & reception spaces

You can build the day around a few signature rooms, all licensed for civil ceremonies:

The Great Hall – the showstopper. A vast medieval banqueting hall with high vaulted ceilings, suits of armour, and dramatic ambience. It typically holds up to ~120 guests seated for ceremony or wedding breakfast, and around 180 standing for evening partying.
State Rooms / State Dining Room – more intimate and opulent, with chandeliers, portraits, and a “royal residence” feel. The State Dining Room is often quoted around 95 for ceremony and ~40 seated for dining; other State Rooms can be used for drinks receptions or smaller celebrations.
Green Drawing Room and other adjacent rooms – used for smaller ceremonies, drinks, or as flow spaces when you want a multi-room experience.

Outdoors, couples often use the East Front lawn, central courtyard, and riverside/grounds for portraits and post-ceremony mingling—there are loads of angles that give you classic castle-plus-gardens shots.

Styling & Décor by The Wedding House — Bringing Your Vision to Life

At The Wedding House, we love working in venues like Mill Barns, where the bones are beautiful and the storyline is yours to write. Our goal is to layer your personality, style, and preferred colour palette onto the venue in a seamless, cohesive way using our floral ranges, lighting, and curated decor pieces.

Here’s how we typically approach a Mill Barns styling:

Ceremony Styling

Arch / Statement Feature
We place a floral arch or custom structure at the focal point of the altar or front of the barn. Depending on your chosen floral range (e.g. Victoria, Nina, Jasmine, etc.), this could be lush roses, cascading foliage, pampas features, or something more whimsical.

Aisle Decor & Chair Dressing
Coordinated elements such as petals, lanterns, floral urns, plinths, or chair sashes/drapes run down the aisle, guiding guests toward your moment.

Signing Table & Accent Florals
We’ll style the signing table to match the arch, and place smaller florals on side tables, windowsills, or other ceremony focal points.

Outdoor Ceremony Options
If you choose to marry outdoors on the terrace overlooking the pond, we’ll translate the aesthetic — perhaps with freestanding urns, florals lining the aisle, petal work, or soft fabric backdrops to echo the indoor styling.

Reception / Wedding Breakfast

Table Centerpieces & Runner Styling
For each table, we design centrepieces that complement your floral range — tall arrangements, low and lush compositions, mixed textures, or more minimalist designs. We also include table runners, candles or votives, and coordinating styling touches (e.g. charger plates, vignette pieces).

Chair Styling
Whether chiavari chairs, wooden barn chairs, or other seating, we add drapes, sashes, greenery, floral touches, or bespoke covers to tie everything together.

Backdrop, Feature Walls & Photo Zones
We can install floral walls, draped fabric backdrops, custom signage, and feature areas (e.g. neon signs, mirrored frames) for guests to gather and photograph.

Lighting & Ambiance
Ambient lighting is essential. We enhance the elegant barn interior with fairy lights, uplighters, draping, soft washes of colour, and feature lighting on key decor pieces.

Colour Flexibility
One of the advantages of working in the Barns’ neutral, timber & glass environment is that your chosen colour palette can shine. We’re not constrained by a venue colour scheme — whether soft pastels, rich jewel tones, moody darks, or neutrals, we can adapt.

Evening Enhancements

LED White Sparkle / Starlit Dancefloor
As day turns into evening, we install a striking LED white sparkle dancefloor to bring a wow factor to your first dance and encourage guests to hit the floor.

Light-Up Letters / Illuminated Features
We offer illuminated letters (“LOVE,” your initials, or custom words) to add drama, romance, and a focal photo element in the evening.

Dynamic Lighting & Transformations
In the evening, we shift the mood using lighting — uplights, gobos, pin-spotting floral focal points — so the space evolves seamlessly from ceremony to dinner to party.
