Elizabeth Castle in St Aubin’s Bay is a perfect venue for your Jersey wedding.  Civil wedding ceremonies are held in the Governor’s House, which was built in the 1590s. Sir Walter Raleigh was its first resident and it was where Charles II lived during his short stay in the 1640s. This beautiful castle has a large terrace, perfect for drinks after your ceremony, and is located near the top of  this historic site where the views are fantastic.  Your guests will be thrilled with this wonderful castle location and your Channel Islands wedding will be something  truly spectacular.

The Castle Ferry will take you and your guests to and from the castle and members of the 1781 Jersey Militia can mark your marriage with a musket salute or cannon firing.

Due to the unique location of the castle, access is very dependent on the tide and weather. The castle ferry can operate at all times except when the tide is high and the wind is strong creating a rough sea. Please take advice from our staff when booking your function. For certain types of event only specific dates will be available.
