Alex and Alex: Destination Wedding at Bellingham Castle

Alex and Alex (or, as they are known to all their friends – The Alexes!) travelled from Columbus, Ohio with an incredible group of family and friends to celebrate their wedding at Bellingham Castle, turning it into a true destination wedding weekend. From the very start, the atmosphere felt more like a gathering of close friends than a formal event — relaxed, joyful and full of anticipation.

They chose to have an outdoor ceremony at the castle’s pergola, surrounded by the estate’s gardens and the people who mean the most to them. Their ceremony was deeply emotional, with personal vows that brought plenty of tears — not just from the couple, but from almost everyone watching.

The rest of the day unfolded effortlessly, with guests exploring the grounds, enjoying the castle and soaking up the experience of being together in such a special place. It was a perfect example of how Bellingham Castle lends itself to destination weddings — offering space, privacy and a setting that turns a single day into a full weekend of memories.
