“Magical beyond our dreams! We had our son and daughter-in-laws wedding here. The entire experience was magical! From the moment we saw the place and spoke with the owner it was perfection. Planning with Lynn was amazing, she took away every concern, she was so easy and wonderful to work with. The day before I needed to drop off stuff to set up for the day of, the day of I showed up and it was all in place for us. It was perfect! The staff was amazing, so accommodating and welcoming. Every wish and need was met. The food was OUTSTANDING! We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful, professional, accommodating place. It truly was such an incredible experience. So so beautiful! It will forever have a place in my heart."

"Our wedding was December 23, 2023. Beardslee Castle is an absolute dream of a wedding venue! Our contact at the castle, Lynn, was wonderful to work with: friendly, responsive, and super knowledgeable. She took time and care to meet with us and offered us various options based on our specific wants and considerations. We had our ceremony in front of the gorgeous fireplace, cocktail hour in the dungeon, and amazing food for dinner. Our guests described our wedding as "magical" and "unique," and we agree with that assessment! We cannot recommend Lynn, the wonderful staff, and Beardslee Castle more highly. We can't imagine a more special place to get married!"

​"Fairy Tale Wedding! This venue was our first choice, I've been there before, but my husband has not. The second we booked with Beardslee Castle, Lynn the star of the show! she made sure our day was nothing short of amazing. I did not need to hire a wedding coordinator. The staff, food, atmosphere, everything was just so amazing."
