From the reviews
This afternoon we had the opportunity in attending one of their soft openings for the main floor restaurant. I say main floor, because they will be offering/opening up 2 additional restaurants, one for fine dining (2nd floor) and also the rooftop restaurant - all within the same fabulous castle resort style venue that…
Just wanted to thank you guys again for making my wedding so beautiful and perfect. Would have been better if the 5K runners had left my side alone but thankfully they only disrupted my photos...and had their kids running around the wedding room. But that's not your guy's fault, they knew better.
Lily Greer is a phenomenal event coordinator/planner!! I worked with her a couple weekends ago when I did a live wedding painting and she was so helpful and accommodating. She truly went above and beyond what any other coordinator has done! Highly recommend her service and this venue!
If you haven't been to Castle Ridge you need to. It is amazing and the food and drinks are top notch. An actual large castle on a lake with beautiful grounds that surround the castle for a wonderful view and grand experience.
Getting married at Castle Ridge - Wedding & Event Venue
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 Ridge - Wedding & Event Venue 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 Ridge - Wedding & Event Venue
Reviews and the castle's own info mention galas, corporate events, or private parties at Castle Ridge - Wedding & Event Venue — 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.
