Our Experienced Team
We will be on hand every step of the way
As one of Shropshire and the West Midland’s most imposing wedding venues, Rowton Castle owes its untarnished reputation not to its history or setting, but most importantly to its dedicated and experienced hospitality team. From your standard expectations to secret wishes, the team is dedicated to provide you and your guests with the highest level of service, paying particular attention to every single detail.
The team will be on hand every step of the way. From operations, to those members behind the scenes, in the kitchen, garden or office, that you don’t see, but we couldn’t do any of this without. Let us take care of every arrangement, big or small. We promise yours will be a seamless, yet perfect, occasion.
