The moat that rings the castle, reached only by the drawbridge.
The ballroom, entirely exclusive to the couple on their wedding day.
The overnight accommodation on the grounds, for the couple after the celebration.
The gardens around the castle, reserved exclusively for the wedding party booked that day.
“The drawbridge as the only way onto the grounds made our arrival feel genuinely special. Knowing there was no other couple on the estate that day, it felt entirely our own.”
“Charlotte de Vries personally sent us the available dates before we booked anything, and afterwards kept replying within two days to our questions about staying overnight on the grounds.”
“The moat that still actually carries water sets this castle apart from other venues we visited. The ballroom behind it was entirely ours for our 110 guests, no other event being set up at the same time.”
“The in-house kitchen delivered a dinner of real quality, and the bar was there but without being mandatory to use. Exactly the freedom we were looking for at the most expensive castle on the list.”
“We stayed overnight on the grounds with the couple and the parents after the party, rather than having to drive late at night. That made the next morning just as special as the evening itself.”
“With 105 guests, just over the minimum of 100, we made full use of the gardens around the castle for the toast before dinner began. Completely sealed off from the rest of the world by the moat and the bridge.”
