A Special Ceremony
Your Opportunity to be Married in a Castle
We are proud to offer a choice of The Keep or our outdoor Pagoda, which are both licensed to hold
civil ceremonies:
‘The Keep’
A stunning new addition to our wedding portfolio ‘The Keep’ opened in Summer 2015. It is located at the heart of
the historic castle building and has a romantic chapel feeling. Filled with lots of natural light and offering pew
seating with solid oak flooring. Suitable for up to 110 guests.
'Ceremony Only'
The Keep is also available if you are wanting just a ceremony only.
The hire includes the use of the beautiful ceremony room, the hotel and grounds (public areas) for up to two
hours; plenty of time for lovely photographs in historic surroundings.
For an extra special touch, add a celebratory glass of bucks fizz and canapés for your guests to enjoy after
your ceremony for a small supplement per person.
Ceremony only hire of The Keep is only available Sundays to Thursdays (excluding Bank Holidays).
You will need to book your Registrar and pay their fees directly to the Birkenhead Registry Office.
Their contact number: 0151 666 3681
