Micro-Weddings
Everyone loved the castle, but the real strength is how homely it feels. ...Our guests were just delighted that we managed to have our big day. Intimate Weddings at Winton Castle
Winton Castle’s guests love its blend of grandeur and warm, relaxed ambience. We call it ‘Intimacy on a Grand Scale’, which is why our micro-wedding packages let you create your wedding day on a more intimate scale, specially designed for these strange times.
We know that many wedding dreams have been shattered over recent months, but a small celebration can be just as special, if not more so. Our new micro-wedding packages are perfect for couples who prefer not to wait any longer.
We can host your intimate wedding for up to 20 guests* in historic surroundings with plenty of space for social distancing.
Whether you just want to have a micro-wedding, or you want to hold a micro-wedding now then host a bigger celebration in the future, you should consider our enchanting castle. As Emma & Bruce, married here in August 2020 with 16 of their nearest and dearest, said:
“We had such a fantastic day and I firmly believe everyone should go ahead with their weddings instead of postponing.”
They plan to return to Winton with their friends and family for a larger celebration in 2021. Read their blog, Emma & Bruce’s Micro-Wedding in Winton’s Walled Garden.
With a rich variety of inter-connecting rooms, each with its own open fire, the castle’s flowing layout lends itself perfectly to smaller parties; a feast for the eyes and soul, whatever the weather.
