From the reviews

I attended a wedding a couple days ago in Gloucester. The moment I found The Castle Manor Inn on Google, I fell in love with the architecture, and interior views. I immediately booked it the day before flying out. I called after booking online and spoke with Dan. he was friendly and professional.

★★★★★ — Raven, May 2026

I recently stayed at the Castle Manor Inn and was blown away! The rooms were spotless and well maintained. Chef Dan and Kaylin were perfect hosts, friendly, professional, and accommodating. And the FOOD! Dan shared with us some of his award-winning (deservedly so) clam chowder.

★★★★★ — Dan, Sep 2025

Castle Manor Inn gave us everything we hoped for and more for our wedding—a charming, intimate venue with standout service from Dan and Kaylyn, who guided us through every step with genuine care. The icing on the (wedding) cake? Chef Dan’s food!

★★★★★ — Laura, Jul 2025

We had our wedding reception here and it was absolutely amazing! The rooms were gorgeous and comfortable, the staff were so friendly, and the food was some of the best food I’ve ever tried! Huge shoutouts to John and Chef Dan for helping us so much!

Getting married at Castle Manor Inn

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 Manor Inn 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.
