Your wedding
Nestled safe and secure behind a portcullis, Amberley Castle lies waiting to be discovered as a truly unique wedding venue.
On the doorstep of the South Downs National Park, with its green rolling pastures, open spaces, ancient woodlands and river valleys Amberley Castle has been used exclusively by royalty, politicians and VIPs throughout its history. 12 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens (roamed by a resident white peacock) set the scene and the castle is still completely enclosed by a high curtain wall, with the medieval stonework forming an evocative backdrop to your special day.
Venture inside and you are greeted by 900 years of history - suits of armour stand to attention, intricate coats of arms tell tales of previous residents and original stonework frames every aspect. Fine fabrics and beautiful antiques complete the setting along with roaring log fires in the winter months. Fill the rooms with your nearest and dearest and you have all the ingredients for a truly magical wedding day.

On Friday, my partner and I got married at Amberley having been together for over 26 years! The day was totally perfect in every way. A massive thank you to Dean, Phil and Piers for ensuring that all our needs (and that of our guests) were met. The team at Amberley are professional, friendly and approachable; nothing was too much trouble. You know when you book this venue how stunning the castle and the grounds are; however it is the team's attention to detail that makes your stay perfect in every way.
Susie & Dave, May 2019
The castle surrounding is fairy tale perfection and full of photo opportunities; the ceremony room was the perfect size for us not to feel cramped and was transformed into a beautiful dining room for our evening meal. The team led by Dean were so supportive and went above and beyond to make our perfect day a reality. All in all, we were thrilled with our day, as were our guests - especially those who also stayed overnight as guests and joined us for a private breakfast the day after.
