An intimate wedding at Pentillie Castle

Bridget & Jack

How did you choose your venue?

Jack had been to Pentillie before, but when we came around to see it in late December 2022, we immediately knew that this was the place for us. The grandeur and the nature were exactly what we were looking for. Having the venue for three nights also turned out to be extremely useful as we had a lot of family and guests coming from abroad.

What food did you choose for your day, wedding breakfast and evening buffet, and why?

We wanted a selection of food which represented our cultural backgrounds of English, German and Russian. For this, we had borscht canapes, locally sourced lamb and roast vegetables for main course, and apple strudel for dessert. We also had a stack of cheese wheels, because who doesn’t like cheese!

What is your top tip for other couples?

Enjoy yourselves, take in the day as it goes, and make sure you have some time to yourselves. We had a few moments alone, whether it was the drive in the car from the church to Pentillie, or when we had a photoshoot around Pentillie’s grounds. These were very special moments.

What was your favourite part of the wedding?

The ceremony at the church was very special. Jack’s favourite bit was waiting for Brigitte to come down the aisle. Brigitte’s was doing the vows in the church.
