Real-Life Castles You Can Get Married In

Glamis Castle, Scotland








Since Sir John Lyon tied the knot to his royal bride, Princess Johanna, at Glamis Castle in 1376, the royal grounds have been a favorite for couples searching for a unique location for their nuptials. Not only does the space offer dozens of picturesque rooms for ceremonies and receptions, but the grounds are also home to extensive gardens that make for the most romantic photos.


Ashford Castle



In the quiet village of Mayo, Ireland, lies Ashford Castle—an 83-room hotel that overlooks the peaceful countryside. First erected in 1228, guests will actually feel like royalty at this hotel, thanks to its medieval-style architecture and elegantly decorated rooms. In addition to being an incredible place to stay on your honeymoon, the hotel also offers wedding packages that can accommodate over 160 guests.


Biltmore House, North Carolina



George Vanderbilt, an heir to the wealthy Vanderbilt family, built the Biltmore House over 120 years ago, but the grounds have only gotten more popular with age. The estate can host weddings with up to 500 guests and boasts luxury amenities including a spa, horseback riding, and winery tours. And, much like an actual royal wedding budget, the venue will cost you a pretty penny: booking the estate for a wedding ceremony will set you back a cool $20,000.



Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany



Once the home of Bavarian royalty, the grounds of Neuschwanstein Castle were opened to the public in 1886 and attract over one million visitors a year thanks to its majestic views overlooking the German countryside. The design is the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle—but totally beats tying the knot amongst thousands of amusement park goers.
