Are children allowed?
Your presence means the world to us, and our greatest wish is to celebrate this special day surrounded by the people we love most. While the weekend festivities will be family-friendly, we kindly ask that the ceremony and dinner reception be reserved for adults only. We completely understand that little ones are an important part of your lives, and babies-in-arms are warmly welcomed at the reception.
We will be offering a babysitting service at the castle for those who need it, so please reach out to us directly to let us know your plans and help get an accurate headcount.
If you plan to bring kiddos with you and are staying at The Castle or The Inn, the reservations teams requires that you share the number of children staying in the room and include their ages.
