You might know this gloriously medieval castle as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films, but you can't beat Alnwick for a magical wedding venue. Conjure up your perfect day in one of several atmospheric spaces, from the Guest Hall with views of the castle courtyard to the romantic Hulne Abbey in neighbouring Hulne Park. One of the earliest Carmelite monasteries, the Abbey offers ornate rooms and makes a tranquil hideaway for a marquee feast. The place is sure to cast its spell on you.
