Review
Casterton Grange is now a place that will be cemented in our memories for the rest of our lives, and we are so grateful we found this beautiful venue for our wedding day. We planned our wedding from abroad and were only able to see the venue in photos and FaceTime beforehand, so we knew that it looked beautiful, but seeing it in person was an entirely different experience. Using the word “magical” is an understatement, it was literally heaven. We found ourselves constantly pinching ourselves, believing we were living out a real life fairytale throughout the time we spent there.
Each room was so comfortable and our guests could not stop raving about how wonderful the accommodations and property were. We also loved that our entire group could stay on the property and that we could enjoy the celebrations over multiple days, allowing us to have the relaxed feel we were hoping for. From the Snooker table, to the patio, to the pond, and even the extended grounds with the horses, we had so much fun exploring and taking in every moment with our favorite people.
On top of the breathtaking beauty of the grounds and accommodations, Anneka and her team welcomed us into her home and made us feel like family. Holly and Anneka were there to help us with anything we needed, and our day would not have been near as special without their help and guidance. Each vendor she recommended, including catering, photographer, etc. were so incredible to work with and we could not be happier with how everything turned out.
If you have the privilege of potentially booking this estate for your wedding venue, or even a vacation, know that you will never want to leave!!! We already want to go back!! xx
