From the reviews
Got tea here and it was delicious! Every plate was tasted incredible and the service was great. We were never waiting around or felt rushed. We accidentally went to the wrong castle at first so we were a half hour late. We communicated this to them, and they were very accommodating which we appreciated.
Started with the Tea Service and the staff was friendly and food was delicious. Then checked in for our overnight stay and when we got to the castle Mike and Kathy were an absolute delight! They are the heart of our stay. Mike answered any questions we had on the castle or General Palmer.
Absolutely LOVED this…. When we arrived on the weekend and were met by security as you had to have a reservation for the weekend. Once past that, oh my goodness. LOVED the area, so incredibly beautiful. Went in for tea and had such a warm welcome by staff. we talked and talked. Food was fast and good.
High tea at Glen Eyrie Castle was SO fun! My friend and I felt extra fancy enjoying tea in a gorgeous historic castle. The service was amazing and the food was even better. My friend has a gluten allergy, and they did a fantastic job accommodating her, everything was still delicious and beautifully done.
Getting married at Glen Eyrie 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 — Glen Eyrie 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.
