Our wedding here was beyond perfect. Right from our first visit we knew we’d made the right decision. The staff were attentive and so knowledgable. The venue speaks for itself, we love being able to tell our little boy “mammy & daddy we’re married in a castle!”.
The food was another huge highlight, the wedding breakfast was delicious as was the evening buffet.
Our guests' highlights were how the day flowed so well and also... the sausage rolls?! Apparently they were to die for!? They still get talked about to this day!
We would definitely say, if you’re looking for a stand out venue where nothing is too much trouble, take a look at Lumley

I recently had my wedding at Lumley Castle and I can honestly say it was the most perfect venue.
It was stunning visually, the staff were amazing - particularly Holly in arranging before the day and Kimberley on the day of the wedding. The food was some of the best I've had - my husband and I were blown away by how friendly everyone was and how pretty our room was.
I cannot recommend Lumley highly enough. We will definitely back x

I don’t even know where to begin with this review - everything was absolutely fantastic from the first appointment with Emma to checking out the day after our wedding with Chloe at reception! I honestly can’t thank Lumley castle enough for providing us with the most perfect day ever. Every single one of my guest commented on how amazing it was. Emma in the wedding team helped me plan and organise the day. She was so attentive to my needs and very professional and friendly and from that moment I knew my day would be fantastic. Thank you Emma!! ... On the day of our wedding we were appointed Alison to look after us, now this lady is an absolute asset to the company, she is amazing at what she does, i honestly felt like she was one of my friends and knew I could rely on her for whatever I needed during the day. She ran back and forth for me and never once complained I honestly wish I could show her how appreciative we are of her! All the staff I came in to contact in the 2 days I spent at Lumley castle were so friendly polite and approachable, especially Chloe on reception!! Please say a big thank you to the chefs in the kitchen also as every single guest commented on how perfect the food was!! Thank you Lumley castle for making our day so perfect and we can’t wait to come back for a night away! ❤️❤️❤️

Planning a wedding? Ask for Emma!
Wedding planning can be stressful! Our experience was exactly that...until...we got in touch with Emma on the Wedding Team at Lumley! She has been absolutely wonderful! She is patient, kind, accommodating, and so helpful! Because we are in the US and trying to plan a wedding at Lumley, we continue to have questions come up. Emma is just an email away! She has even been kind enough to email back and forth with my mom and aunt (who are also helping me with planning). She and I spoke on the phone today and, in under an hour, she was able to send us the quote and contract we requested. We haven’t even stepped foot in Lumley, but have already been treated like royalty thanks to Emma! THANK YOU!

We got married at Lumley Castle in April 2019. From booking 18 months prior the Weddings team made every effort to ensure nothing was too much trouble and were very easy to contact when required. When we visited the Castle we were made to feel very welcome and they ensured the planning was stress free! The wedding day itself ran like clockwork and all the staff were so hard working to made our dream day exactly what we had imagined. The Castle and the grounds are beautiful and a perfect location for any wedding.

What can I say about our experience at Lumley Castle for our wedding! It was outstanding from start to finish and we had the most wonderful day ever with our friends and family, which will stay with us always.
The wedding team are brilliant! Holly was so friendly and helpful, and always had great communication and efficiency with us, which made things so easy to organise. David who we met a few days before the wedding and who took care of everything on our entire day, was nothing short of fantastic. As soon as we arrived with our lists, vision and requests he put us at complete ease and took away any last minute stresses that you inevitably feel days before. He was marvellous at taking care of all the finer details and made everything run like clockwork on the day, meaning we could absolutely not worry about a thing, and just enjoy our wonderful day. All of the guests commented on how amazing not only the place looked but just how everything flowed so well, which was a credit to him and his team.
I’ve always loved Lumley Castle and after getting engaged in London a few years ago, saw it in all its glory on the train journey home. After previously talking about having a low key wedding somewhere, that all changed and I said to Chris, that I wanted to get married there, and we did!
I’d say to anyone thinking about Lumley Castle for their special day, do it! I can’t praise it enough – beautiful grounds, beautiful rooms – the Scarbrough state room lovely for our ceremony, and the Garter room was stunning for our celebrations. The food delicious and the staff and wedding team are brilliant. You’ll have an overall fabulous time making lots of happy memories you can look back on.

If you are looking for a wedding venue than definitely visit Lumley Castle. We got married here last weekend and everything went perfectly, the team went above and beyond to make our day the most special day, looking after all of our guests especially those with dietary requirements. Alison Oakland is an absolute credit to the venue and we would highly recommend the venue. Would love to do the day all over again! Lumley will always hold a special place in our hearts and we cannot wait to return and celebrate our 1 year anniversary there!

My now husband and I first came to visit Lumley Castle back in October 2017 and met with one of the wedding team. We looked around the stunning castle and took a look at both the beautiful reception rooms.
We knew that Lumley Castle was the venue for us and we choose the beautiful light and bright Garter Suite, and booked our wedding the very next day.
From the start the wedding team were very helpful and guided us through the process of organising our prefect day. With regular emails and updates from the team to what needed to be done next and kept us informed at every stage of the process. Every question to the team was promptly responded to.
We got married at Lumley Castle on the 30th March 2019. The day itself was absolutely perfect, the events team, imparticular David made sure everything was just how we wanted it and made me feel confident that our day would be perfect for us. The day ran so smoothly and was very well organised thanks to Lumley's amazing staff.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and ensured that all our guests had everything they needed. The wedding breakfast meal was fantastic, all of our guests commented how delicious the food was, every course was served and cleared very fluently. The wedding breakfast was lovely and relaxed.
Our wedding day was perfect from start to to finish, we could not have wanted anymore from our special day. The castle itself and reception rooms were the perfect setting for our day. It's such a beautiful place full of character and interest every where you look. Our guests where astonished with how wonderful Lumley Castle is and how attentive the staff were.
I would like to say a huge Thank You to Lumley Castle for giving us our perfect wedding day!
Mr and Mrs Bush.
