From the reviews

We absolutely love The Palace at Somerset Park. I got to marry my best friend and soulmate on September 10, 2023. None of it would’ve been possible without them. It was by far the best day of our lives!! All of the staff is amazing. Alex our event planner was fantastic.

My daughter got married 1/16/26 and The Palace was amazing. From the food to the service . Our guests said it was the best wedding they went to. The food from cocktail hour, dinner and desserts were top shelf.

Getting married at The Palace at Somerset Park

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 — The Palace at Somerset Park 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 The Palace at Somerset Park

Reviews and the castle's own info mention galas, corporate events, or private parties at The Palace at Somerset Park — castle venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends.

If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
