Pennsylvania Castle on the Isle of Portland is one of Dorset’s top wedding venues. Perched on a cliff top with stunning sea views and idyllic gardens, the fairy tale castle is perfect for intimate and bespoke indoor or outdoor weddings. 

With more children attending their parents’ weddings than ever before, it is only right that the children should be treated like royalty too. Getting the right balance of inclusion but without disruption is a balancing act that Penn Castle have perfected over many years. Pennsylvania Castle is very fortunate to have a great relationship with a wonderful nanny service, who are experts at keeping all small people occupied throughout their time at The Penn.
