About the venue

A castle wedding near Shrewsbury

A few miles west of Shrewsbury, Rowton Castle is a Grade II listed castle with roots in the 17th century, set in 27 acres of gardens and parkland. On your wedding day the castle and grounds are reserved just for you.

Outdoor ceremonies take place at the Linden Belvedere, an 18th-century structure in the grounds, and the Coach House is licensed too.

Inside, the Regency Ballroom, the Georgian Dining Room and the Cardeston Suite host the rest of the day, with up to 110 guests for dinner and 150 in the evening.

There are 19 bedrooms, including four-poster rooms and a honeymoon suite for the two of you, so close family and friends can stay in the castle.

Vows at the Belvedere, dinner in a castle, horns to finish.

Why a live band

A castle made for a party

Exclusive use, a ballroom and guests staying over. We plan the night around the castle timings so it builds to a big finish.

Planned to the minute

The band plays in the Cardeston Suite and finishes at 11.30pm, so we shape both sets to end on a high.

Belvedere vows

Our acoustic singer and guitarist can play your ceremony at the Linden Belvedere, then follow your guests for drinks.

All yours

The castle is exclusive to your wedding for the day, so there is no other party next door.

Horns on the lawn

Our roaming brass band can play around the gardens while the photos are taken.
