Questions to take to a viewing
- Where will everyone go if the weather changes?
- Which parts of the route are suitable for guests with limited mobility?
- How do catering staff and equipment reach the venue?
- When can suppliers set up and when must they leave?
- What transport will guests need after the reception?
A smaller guest list can open up more rooms, but check the capacity for the actual meal layout, not just the ceremony. If an outdoor reception is part of the plan, speak to marquee suppliers before committing to the site.
Common questions
Does a castle hire price cover everything?
Not necessarily. Confirm the ceremony, reception, marquee and supplier costs in a written quote. Mont Orgueil ceremonies start at £2,950; marquee receptions for up to 120 guests are priced separately.
Should we visit before booking?
A viewing helps you check guest access, layout and the weather contingency with the venue team. Castle access in particular — causeways, cobbled routes and lifts — is easier to judge in person.
