If you think back to the days when you very first thought about how your wedding would be, you were probably quite young and if you were, then marrying your Prince Charming in a castle would have undoubtedly been part of the fairytale.

Highcliffe Castle offers the opportunity to make this dream come true, steeped in history and oozing royal charm and located on one of the most stunning stretches of Dorset coastline you have ever seen.

The beauty of the Grade 1 listed castle is unmistakable from the rolling lawns of the exterior gardens to the 30 foot high Jesse Window of the Great Hall.

You also have the option to dance the night away in the Drawing Room, where DJ's, dancing or whatever you might have planned can unfold miraculously in front of your guests.
