From the reviews
Deerwood Castle, along with Graham and the event team, were a pleasure to work with! The venue itself is truly unique, especially with the car museum, which received countless compliments from our guests. Beyond the stunning space, the team was communicative, accommodating, and easy to work with.
Our company had the pleasure of having our annual Christmas Party at Deerwood Castle and it was truly the best venue we have had. Graham and his crew were incredibly accommodating and easy to communicate with. The event space is outstanding and offered so much entertainment for our very lively group.
Wonderful venue for an awards Banquet. Sound system is great, as well as the 4 giant screens for viewing. This facility is very clean. Catering staff was pleasant and professional.
The venue staff were amazing! Angel and Joe were so helpful during the preparation phase as well as the entire day of the event. During the event, trash was taken out long before it was full, restrooms stayed clean, spills were addressed in a timely fashion and guests had a great time!
Getting married at Deerwood Castle
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 — Deerwood Castle 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 Deerwood Castle
Reviews and the castle's own info mention galas, corporate events, or private parties at Deerwood Castle — 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.
