We couldn't fault a single thing, everything was perfect and the team were just amazing. Thank you so so much for everything :) You were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble, we're so grateful. Everyone raved about the food and the service was spectacular!!
We and our guests had a wonderful day at Castaways. Thank you to all of the "Team at Castaways", for making our Wedding so wonderful!!!
Thank you so much - our wedding at Castaways was fantastic and everyone is still talking about how great it was! Everyone at the reception loved the food and the service exceeded all expectations and all that stayed loved the chalets/studios, they were not expecting such a lovely place to stay and were amazed at the views in the morning.
My husband and I, along with our family members and friends, who joined us on our wedding day, all cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism of all the staff involved in the co-ordination and service provided on our wedding day. From start to finish; organisation to preparation and execution of every detail... Simply put... Our wedding day was perfect! We had so many compliments about the venue and the accommodation and everyone agreed with us that we could not have chosen better. Once again, a big ‘thanks’ to everyone involved from Castaways for helping us make this day so memorable!
Start to finish the day was magical! We both really appreciate the care and attention that yourselves put into every minute detail that contributed to the overall wow factor of our special day.
The venue as a whole, the breathtaking views and sunset, the respectfulness of the service team, the amazing food, the wide armed welcome we all received.... they are all things we, and our guests, will be raving about for a long time to come.We couldn't have asked for better. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! We just can't say it enough and we’ll never forget the most magical day of our lives, or you, the special people who made it happen!
We had the best wedding day, it was better than we imagined. Everything went well and all the Castaways team really did look after us. I can now see why I was always getting told not to stress because if I needed anything all I had to do was ask. I just wanted you to know how much we appreciate all the work that was put into our day and without your help I would never have planned a day as awesome as what we got so... THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much for making us feel so special and important. The food was outstanding, very well presented and tasted fantastic. Many guests mentioned "best food they’ve ever had at a wedding" and "great vegetarian options". The venue was excellent with great views, nice size and the chalets & studios were well appointed. The buffet breakfast the next day was perfect...well cooked, plenty of food and the staff were friendly and obliging.

"It was an amazing day and we were really pleased with everything at the venue. I will certainly be recommending Castaways as a wedding/conference venue and also as a great place to go and stay for a night or two. We will certainly be coming back to celebrate our first wedding anniversary next March! It was fantastic on the night to not have to worry about anything at all. All of the staff were fantastic and friendly and helpful. We have had great feedback on the food, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the buffet.

"Our day was very memorable and stress free. I would like to thank you all for giving us the opportunity to alter our entire wedding to how I envisaged it. I know I couldn't get that service from anywhere else. Special thanks to Steve, Marie and all of the staff who were part of making our wedding memorable, wouldn´t have been possible without you all!
