Weddings at a National Trust Site

Awedding in a National Trust for Jersey property makes for a truly memorable experience. There is something special about getting married in a building which is steeped in history going back generations.

Beautiful landscapes, historic buildings and wild coastlines make the perfect backdrop for weddings with plenty of romantic spots for couples to take their vows (and photographs of their special day).

We have three designated sites for weddings; Le Don Hilton, the iconic building adjacent to the seawall overlooking the stunning expanse of St Ouen’s Bay. Known locally as ‘the white house’ due to its whitewashed exterior and dating back to the 1700’s. The service takes place within the seaward facing room and is perfect for a small intimate wedding. Guests can gather outside as the couple exit as newlyweds. Le Catel Fort nestles on the hilltop overlooking Gréve De Lecq and is simply breathtaking for a private tucked away ceremony that you and your guests will just love. The building is in excellent condition and once your creative touches and decorations are added, the charm of the fort comes to life, add the impressive views out to sea and this really is something special.

Last but certainly not least is the jewel in our crown 16 New Street. This beautifully restored Georgian House certainly takes you back in time. It oozes with taste and elegance with two reception rooms over three floors adorned with authentic furniture, paintings, textiles and rugs. The ceremony can take place in the gracious Regency Drawing Room or in the panelled Club Room where sits the grandest of piano’s. It is such a romantic setting for your wedding day with a very special atmosphere.

The National Trust is a charity and every wedding helps to look after the places that hold your special memories forever.
