What a nice adventure. So much too see. Operating outdoor trains, inside pub, outside "enchanted forest" ...fountains and gardens. What a great place for weddings and family gatherings. Price includes a ride around the facility otherwise enjoy the stroll around the estate.
Wow! Im not sure where to start and I know I won’t cover everything. We had my Daughters wedding at Castle farms in August 2024 and it was perfect. First we looked at many venues for my daughter’s wedding and nothing compared. We initially did a virtual tour with Castle farms online and we loved it.
Our daughter got married at Castle farms on July 25, 2025 and it was beautiful. Castle Farms is a huge venue as well as a tourist attraction. Once you rent the area you want, she had the knights castle and courtyard, you can get the table and linens from there but everything else is outsourced.
Getting married at Castle Farms
A castle wedding is the once-in-a-lifetime, storybook kind — the grand staircase, the ballroom, the gardens and turrets your photos will live on forever. Castle weddings commonly run $10,000–$40,000+ depending on the date, guest count, and how much is included, so ask for a written quote for your season — Castle Farms doesn’t publish a set price, and tiers move fast. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you’d actually get married — a ballroom that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you’ll want to walk the path your guests take from the gates to the ceremony to the reception. Second, bring your real questions: what’s included with the venue fee (tables, chairs, setup, teardown), the catering and bar policy, whether you can stay overnight on-site, the rain plan for a garden ceremony, and the music curfew. Fairytale dates at castle venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what’s open in your season before you leave.
Galas & corporate events at Castle Farms
Reviews and the castle's own info mention galas, corporate events, or private parties at Castle Farms — castle venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
