Category: Venue reviews

Choosing the perfect castle for your wedding requires more than a pretty façade — it demands insight, experience, and a deep understanding of each venue’s possibilities. Our Venue Reviews offer honest, detailed assessments of Europe’s most romantic castles, enabling couples to plan with confidence.

From historic interiors and ceremony halls to gardens, terraces, and photography spots, each review explores the features that matter most: capacity, accessibility, style, and service. We also highlight nearby reception options, accommodations, and unique touches that make each castle distinct.

Our reviews are based on firsthand experience. We visit each venue, capture its atmosphere, and note the details that truly make a wedding unforgettable. From lighting and décor potential to logistical considerations, these insights empower couples to make informed decisions while preserving the magic of their dream day.

Whether you’re seeking a small, intimate castle or a grand historic estate, our venue reviews provide practical guidance while celebrating the history, architecture, and romance of these exceptional spaces.

Planning the perfect proposal involves finding a unique setting that blends romance with a touch of personal style. This October, we were delighted to organize a Halloween-themed proposal at the enchanting Versace Villa. Its castle-like architecture, stunning gardens, and mysterious atmosphere created an ideal backdrop for a memorable Halloween proposal.

We always plan. We always prepare. But sometimes… We always plan.
We always prepare.
But sometimes… the weather writes its own chapter. 🌧️🍀

On the wedding day at Grand Vígľaš Castle, the skies opened up — classic Irish style. So we saved the wedding portraits for the next morning… and captured two beautiful moments just before the after-wedding brunch kicked off. 📸✨

There was music from an Irish band, the scent of roasted piglet in the air, and laughter echoing through the castle halls. 🇮🇪🎶🐖

Because love doesn’t mind a little rain. And magic? It often shows up exactly when — and how — it wants to.

Crafted by the talented hands at Lollipos, this regal beauty stood tall amidst candlelight and carved wood, adorned with heirloom blooms and a golden crest. A true centrepiece, not just dessert. 🍰👑

Designing the decor for this Irish wedding at Gran Designing the decor for this Irish wedding at Grand Vígľaš Castle was nothing short of a creative journey. ✨🏰

A medieval fortress deep in the Slovak countryside…
A grand hall with hand-painted ceilings echoing Celtic mythology and Renaissance detail…
We spent hours dreaming, sketching, and reimagining how to let the space shine — while gently layering it with florals, candlelight, and elegance. 🌿🕯️

We knew we wanted candle holders. And candles. Lots of them.
And thanks to Eventia, this vision came to life with grace, balance, and magic.

Because when you’re styling a castle, you don’t compete with history — you whisper into it.

Only three years later, I’ve become a proud First Look ambassador — always encouraging our couples to consider it. Not just for the photos, but for the quiet, emotional moment that belongs only to the two of you. ✨

This Irish wedding at Vígľaš Castle was no exception.
The skies were gloomy, a gentle rain made us move the ceremony indoors… but the First Look still happened outside — and it was so lovely. 🍀💧

A little rain couldn’t steal the magic.
