100 firefighters battled a fire at Peckforton Castle, near Liverpool and guests were evacuated from the castle around 5 am on Sunday morning.
It is thought that the fire started shortly after an argument between the groom, who has not been identified and the castle’s management over the wedding bill.
A spokesperson from Cheshire Police said that “a guest at the hotel has been arrested on suspicion of arson after an incident at Peckforton Castle”.
The fire has destroyed large parts of the castle which is regularly used for weddings.
An inquiry into the cause of the blaze is being carried out.
