Every bride to be dreams of her wedding in a castle. If you’re looking for castle wedding venues for your fairy tale wedding, any of these 5 castles are a perfect choice!
Boldt Castle
Boldt Castle sits on the St. Lawrence River at the New York and Canadian border. It is one of the most popular castle wedding venues in New York for weddings and vow renewals.
From its very conception Boldt Castle’s historic halls and grounds were filled with romance. Built in 1900 by George Boldt as a tribute to the love he felt for his wife Louise, today it remains a testament to their enduring love story. Surrounding the 19th century home are numerous gardens containing thousands of flowers as well as several stone structures of the same era, including the Gazebo, Alster Tower, Dove Cote and the Powerhouse.
Reservations are affordable despite the high demand. Weddings start at just $200.
Whitby Castle
Beautiful Whitby Castle is also located in New York. This venue can fully cater your wedding in a castle from start to finish with no detail spared.
Whitby Castle boasts a striking similarity to the details of the original Whitby Abbey in England, including some of the original Abbey stones. Set on 126 acres in Rye, New York, Whitby Castle is conveniently located, yet seemingly worlds away. Perfectly manicured lawns, breathtaking views of the Long Island Sound, a grandiose ballroom, plus two private reception rooms offer the perfect backdrop for any size affair.
