Grey towers castle is an unbelievable venue to have your wedding. The staff was incredible. The rooms inside are magnificent. It gives off Gatsby, hog warts castle vibes. We had a great experience working here.
What a beautiful place. Just passing thru With the stop in area if you love history and architecture
I had an absolutely unreal experience here for my wedding! The castle is stunning and the venue is truly incredible. Lisa was wonderful to work with and was so helpful in guiding me with what to do for what rooms. You get multiple rooms to work with so you can really spread out.
Getting married at Grey Towers 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 — Grey Towers 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.
