Unforgettable Proposals in Majestic Castles
At The One Romance, our passion for crafting unforgettable proposals is matched only by our love for heritage and history. For those looking to make their proposal truly magical, there’s nothing quite like the timeless elegance of an English or Irish castle. Our exclusive client list has the unique privilege of accessing some of the most celebrated castles in the stunning English and Irish countryside, where dreams become reality. Let us guide you through the enchanting tales and grandeur of some of our favourites…
Amberley Castle: A Medieval Marvel
Nestled in the heart of the West Sussex countryside, Amberley Castle is a 900-year-old medieval fortress with a rich history dating back to the 12th century. This remarkable castle, with its ivy-clad walls and tranquil gardens, exudes romance and charm. Imagine proposing in the shadow of ancient stone towers, under the twinkling lights of the castle’s private candle-lit chapel or the grounds overlooking the lake and castle. The ambiance here is nothing short of magical, making it an ideal spot for a grand, fairy-tale proposal.
Cabra Castle
Just outside the bustling city of Dublin lies waiting the peaceful grounds of one of Ireland’s timeless gems. A mixture of Neo-Norman and Gothic Styles from the early 19th century, Cabra Castle stands grand in the pristine green fields of its one hundred acres. The One Romance is privileged to have partnerships across Ireland and the UK and this gorgeous location is one of our all-time favourites. As it was for our happy couple last year when our team flew out personally from London to curate the most impeccable proposal on its stretching grounds. Constructing a four-post structure draped with white satins, their proposal-scape was adorned with hundreds of red roses and florals in high-standing gold and glass vases. The picture of opulence in the most perfect of settings. Finished with their very own red carpet, it’s safe to say this happy couple had the royal treatment, and a great big YES from the soon-to-be-bride!
Hever Castle: The Home of Anne Boleyn
Hever Castle, the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, offers a blend of history and romance that is hard to match. Located in Kent, this 13th-century castle boasts beautiful gardens, a picturesque lake, and opulent interiors, whilst still in comfortable driving distance from the city of London. Perhaps a proposal by the shimmering lake takes your fancy, or surrounded by vibrant blooms in their curated gardens, or within the grandeur of the Tudor dining hall. Hever Castle’s rich history and stunning setting provide the perfect backdrop for a proposal fit for royalty. If it’s good enough for Anne its good enough for us!
Peckforton Castle: A Fairy-Tale Fortress
Peckforton Castle, located in Cheshire, is a Victorian-era fortress that resembles a medieval castle, complete with turrets and a grand entrance. This enchanting location is perfect for a whimsical, fairy-tale proposal. Imagine a candle-lit dinner in the castle’s great hall, adorned with luxurious red velvet curtains and golden table-scapes, or a romantic moment in the picturesque courtyard, surrounded by the castle’s imposing stone walls. The history of this stunning gem exudes from its character to is simply waiting for you to add your love story to its incredible repertoire.
