Castle weddings are a fairytale dream.
The surroundings are grand and beautiful and provide the setting for a day that will never be forgotten.
A castle looks romantic in photographs and the grounds are usually extensive and very pretty.
The interiors are ornate and sumptuous and perfect for a formal or traditional style wedding.
Imagine sweeping down a beautiful staircase in your bridal gown, attended by your bridesmaids, entering the ceremony room which is decked out beautifully, marrying your dream man and then moving outside into the stunning grounds for photos.
There are many different castles to choose from in the UK, spread throughout England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
From a Norman Keep to a Gothic dream, there's something for everyone.
Castles look fantastic for a winter wedding, with candles, velvets and snow-covered grounds.
They are equally good for summer weddings with lovely flowers and trees in the gardens and natural light streaming through the windows to light the elegantly dressed tables.
If the wedding couple are lucky, they may actually be able to stay the night in the castle too.
Four poster beds are a luxury that the bride and groom and can enjoy in a castle.
A castle often has more history than a hotel and is more special.
Even castle ruins such as Old Wardour Castle in Wiltshire are used for weddings and receptions.
Castles are the perfect wedding choice for either the ceremony and reception or just the reception.
If money is not too much of an issue, a castle wedding can make a wedding dream a reality.
