A Historic Gem
Castle Green is a true historic gem. The attention to detail in the restoration is incredible, and it felt like stepping back in time. The lush gardens and grand interiors provided so many beautiful photo opportunities. The flexibility to bring our own alcohol with no corkage fee was a huge plus. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more.

We fell in love with Castle Green as soon as we saw it. The historic significance and elegant details made our wedding feel timeless. The ballroom was perfect for our dinner and dancing, and the outdoor gardens were ideal for our ceremony. The preferred caterers provided delicious food and excellent service. We couldn't have asked for a better venue.
