Castleton Banquet and Conference Center

We cannot say enough wonderful things about everyone that works at Castleton. To start off our main criteria for a venue was great food, beautiful property, & a big enough space for up to 300 people comfortably. Castleton is a beautiful property (recently renovated too which they did amazing!). The outdoor landscaping is beautiful. From the pond to the hidden bridge everything was so well kept. We rented the entire venue which can hold 500 people. Two bar spaces were large enough for everyone to gather at the high tops if they wanted. The dance floor is huge. And we had 25 tables and still had so much space. The food... AMAZING. We loved the flexibility with picking a package and customizing it to what we wanted exactly. We picked the off season buffet and then upgraded a few items. We have gotten so many phone calls raving about all the food. The beef tenderloin is to die for. Now I need to start by thanking Alex. From the beginning she was the most welcoming person we met on our venue hunt. She was easy to talk to and when we described what we were thinking she helped our vision come true. All the staff were amazing. They are very detailed oriented and they are super responsive via email and phone! If we could give them a 10 star rating we would in a heart beat.

The Castleton was absolutely fantastic to work with. We worked with Stephanie, Alex and Cindy during our planning process and they were all great. Unfortunately, we had a lot of last minute cancelations from our guests, and they were all very helpful in working with us to resend invoices for the final payment. They made us feel very comfortable and addressed all our requests and concerns in a timely manner. The facility just added some new interior updates and its gorgeous. All our guests loved the venue and still rave to us about the facility. I would definitely recommend this venue. We were very impressed.

Our wedding was amazing! The view was beautiful the staff was awesome and the staff was great! The Castelton made our dreams come true! They were so easy to work with and made our experience stress-free with the amazing communication. Would highly recommend!

We could not be happier to have chosen Castleton as our wedding reception venue! We had a challenging time planning our wedding and reception due to covid, but everyone at Castleton was so nice, accommodating, and easy to work with. First, our wedding coordinator Alex was simply the best. She was so patient with all of our questions and was so helpful as we toured the first time, booked our date, and during the lead up to the wedding. And of course, the day of the reception, she made everything run so smoothly! Wedding planning can be stressful at times, but everyone at Castleton made things so easy. Everyone was setup exactly how we wanted for the reception - it was perfect. The banquet hall and grounds outside are beautiful as well, with a great view overlooking the water. We would recommend Castleton to anyone looking for a wedding reception venue! Everyone we interacted with was so nice and made this an easy choice!

Best wedding venue ever...truly!! My husband and I decided to host our wedding at The Castleton back in 2018, planning for October 2020. Then... welp... 2020 happened. The Castleton manager, Stephanie, and all of their staff could not have been more responsive, understanding and simply amazing throughout the entire wedding planning process. After many phone calls, emails and adjustments to our plans, the big day finally came. It. Was. PERFECT. The venue was absolutely gorgeous. Julia took notes of my vision, made the place look incredible and I did not have to worry anything other than enjoying our perfect day. Our guests had an absolute blast despite the ongoing chaos and loved the space indoors and out (especially the fire pit). Truly, we would not have been able to have the wedding of our dreams this year if it had not been for The Castleton and their wonderful staff!

Loved the location, the coordinators could be more consistent. We thought we would be working with one coordinator but it changed each time we met to discuss details.

Hands down Castleton is by far the best place to get married. After looking at several places to hold our ceremony and reception, Castleton is everything my husband and I dreamed of for our wedding day. not only is the wedding venue absolutely stunning, but the food is amazing and the staff is even better. Our wedding coordinator Alex Hallee is absolutely great! She stuck by my side every step of the way including on the wedding day. She made she everything was perfect and went as my husband and I planned. Also, if Alex was not available to speak with or to answer my questions, Stephanie was right there to fill in her shoes. But in all honesty that was maybe twice! Alex definitely made sure I could reach her through all of the wedding planning. Working with Castleton was simply, easy and honestly a delight. i know my husband and I would of not wanted our wedding any where else, and if we ever need to book a banquet hall again in the future, Castleton is definitely where you'll find us!

how would my husband and i describe Castleton...we would have to say....PERFECT! My husband and I looked at several venues for our wedding, but Castleton is the only one that we both loved! Castleton was everything him and I pictured for our wedding. and the staff there wsas great. Justin and I originally had Caitlyn as our wedding planner, but she left which we then got Alex as our new wedding coordinator, which Justin and I were nervous about in the very beginning because we planned so much with Caitlyn already, but boy were we lucky to have the switch. Alex was amazing!!! She made sure our wedding day was exactly how we wanted it, Alex definitely helped make our wedding day perfect. As I got closer to the wedding, I started to get nervous as I had a troublesome groomsmen and some wedding guests who did not agree with how we planned our wedding, but Alex put my worries to bed. and boy did she have everything in order. Alex definitely is your go to girl, if you need someone not only friendly, sweet and personable, but someone reliable and can help put your mind to ease. On top of having such a beautiful venue like Castleton with great staff, it definitely makes it easy to step back and enjoy your wedding day because with Castleton and their staff you know your in good hands, my husband and I would recommend them all day every day for every occasion not just weddings.

Everyone at Castleton was extremely helpful and they all did an amazing job! Alex was our coordinator and she was incredible! A thunderstorm moved our ceremony inside at the last minute and everything went so smoothly. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of venue!

I am beyond happy that we chose Castleton as our wedding venue. The staff was simply amazing from start to end. Our hostess Alex made our day run so smoothly and was always there to help with anything we needed. Every detail of the day was perfect. There is honestly not one thing about our day that we would change. Throughout the whole planning process Alex and Stephanie answered all of my questions right away and were extremely accommodating to the vision I was looking for. I cannot thank the Castleton staff enough for everything they have done for us. The food was also amazing and we received many compliments. The grounds are perfect for pictures and getting married in front of the pond is a dream. I absolutely recommend getting married at Castleton to anyone that is thinking about it, you will not regret it! Best place ever! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We were just married at the Castleton and it was better than we could ever expect! I had been working with Stephanie on and off for over a year and her or her staff would always answer any question right away, no matter how silly or unimportant it seemed. They were so patient and professional and organized! The day of the wedding it started raining and lightening pretty bad about an hour before the ceremony. I was panicking of course because the ceremony was going to be outside, the outdoor scenery at the Castleton is breathtaking and a major reason why we booked there. They set up outside once it stopped, but then it started raining again. Giselle, our day of coordinator, was doing everything she could to keep me calm and happy and the poor staff had to set up the chairs and wipe them all down about 2-3 times. She offered to move it inside a few times for me, but when I said no lets do it in the rain, she stood up and said ok let's do it. Finally it stopped and we had a 30 minute window, Giselle got everything dry and set up, sat all the guests, and we started the ceremony. It was absolutely perfect! The pictures came out beautiful and I am so thankful to Giselle for making sure we had what we wanted. She made sure we were going to have the ceremony we wanted. Giselle also decorated everything even better than I could have imagined. I brought in a ton of stuff without a lot of direction and basically told her my vision but wasn't sure how to make it happen. I told her to use it all, use some, whatever she wanted to do, just make it look nice because I wasn't particular. I trusted they would know what looked best in their venue than me, and I'm so glad I did that because she went above and beyond. I could tell she took her time with the items I dropped off to make sure everything looked perfect. The food and drinks were also amazing, my family couldn't stop talking about how delicious it all was. The staff made sure my husband and I had everything we needed, delivering us drinks and food. The scenery there is gorgeous and I swear it looked more beautiful every time we visited. We are so grateful to all the staff at the Castleton for an amazing and unforgettable wedding!

The venue is gorgeous inside and out and the staff are amazing and so helpful and made my wedding day so stress free! We worked with Alex and Stephanie and they were both fantastic. I would recommend them and the Castleton to anyone!

We cant say enough good things about the team at Castleton Banquet and Conference Center! Stephanie and her team were so helpful throughout the entire process of planning our big day and were there every step of the way. They were always available to answer questions about how the day would run, offer suggestions, or help make our day the best day ever! No thing was too much to ask from them and they did their best to make sure everything went smoothly on our big day. If you are looking for a venue that will be there to make sure the best day of your life is amazing, you should definitely choose Castleton!

I cannot say enough about Castleton! We were just married Sept 8 2018 and it is the best day of our lives. from the moment we walked into Castleton and were greeted by Stephanies smiling face and welcoming personality we knew this was the place for us to get married. First off the staff is a dream to work with.Every step of the wedding planning was made easy because of them Stephanie and Caitlyn are two of the nicest people I have met and super responsive. I never waited more than 24 hours to hear back from them with any questions I had. Caitlyn was our day of coordinator and everything went perfectly. She made sure I had the absolute perfect day! The grounds of Castleton are stunning! The lake, flowers, bridges, fire place make for amazing photos and ambiance. The food was amazing from start to finish, everyone came up to us after to rave about how delicious everything was. And I was very excited that they provided me and my husband with our own personal try of apps with champagne while taking photos during cocktail hour. The hall for the reception is perfect, and the dance floor is amazing. There was plenty of room for everyone to dance without it feeling to big or crowded. The bar service was great and the ice cream sundae bar for dessert was a huge hit! And for those who are worried about the fact that they host two weddings in the same night, don't be! They are staggered and there is a soundproof barrier between the halls. Myself and all the guests were completely unaware of the other wedding taking place. Castleton was a dream, I highly recommend.

If you're looking for a wedding location, I cannot recommend Castleton highly enough! Castleton was the perfect place for our September 2018 wedding! My husband and I were also so thrilled at how affordable Castleton was, and we loved that the catering and ceremony would be done on site! Castleton truly took a lot of the stress out of wedding planning for us because of how well they were set up and what they included in our wedding package. Right from our first communication with the staff, I knew Castleton was going to be our location. Alex and Stephanie were so incredibly helpful throughout the entire process! After every communication with them, they would remind us that they are there if we need them, which we greatly appreciated!! Alex and Stephanie gave us a bunch of information before we even set up the tour, and then on the tour itself, Alex was very patient with us as we asked her dozens of questions, all of which she answered immediately with great detail. We had a few tours set up at other locations, but we cancelled them all. We booked a date with Castleton shortly after. As things came up while planning, Alex and Stephanie were so quick to respond to us with whatever we needed. They were also incredibly helpful when it came to planning the timeline of our big day as well as ensuring that we had all the smaller details nailed down. On the big day, everything went so smoothly and I really have to thank Alex for that! She was so wonderful and so well organized! Every time we needed her for something specific, she was already one step ahead of us! And she was super helpful when it came to packing things up at the end of the night, and made that process nice and quick!

We had our wedding at castleton last Saturday. It was perfect. Dan was the chef and everything was so delicious. Everyone kept complimenting the food. Stephanie was our day of coordinator and she worked SO HARD making sure our day ran smoothly. The staff was so friendly and hard working. The entire day was perfect. The venue is beautiful and the food is SOOOO GOOD. I would recommend castleton to anyone!!!!!

I only had to look at 3 venues before I knew Castleton was the place for us. When you drive in you see a gorgeous rock waterfall but the real breath taker is when you walk around and suddenly get this amazing view of Cobbetts Pond. The outdoor ceremony space is right on the water so it makes for stunning photos. But that’s not why I chose Castleton. I chose it because of the incredible staff. I had the pleasure of working with Caitlyn and it is the reason we picked Castleton. She is amazing! She immediately made us feel welcomed, gave us a big tour, and answered ALL of our questions. I even called her the next day because I knew my mom had to see this place too. So we went back and she answered every question my mom had too. She was incredible in helping with every detail of the wedding. She suggested some amazing vendors which helped our day go that much better and she was even there the day of still making sure everything went perfectly. Not only would I strongly recommend Castleton for the view, the big dance floor, and the food but I would recommend it because of the incredibly helpful staff who all made our day amazing.

Stephanie was amazing to work with - she provided with me with many options and answered all my questions. My only feedback is that on my rehearsal day there was an event coming in and we felt a bit rushed and didn’t have an opportunity to run through all the aspects of the reception.

I got married on May 20, 2018. The staff were so helpful, kind and very accommodating. My picture perfect day was a fairytale.

I was working with Dawn and Stephanie and let me tell you they were great, unfortunately Dawn is no longer with the company. But top notch service If you are looking for someone who will capture the actual feel of YOU and your wedding, Stephanie Hamlin is the way to go. Everyone loved her at the wedding and still sends me messages, months later, telling me how awesome our wedding turned out. The food was delicious and not to mention how beautiful the place is. she is a pleasure to work with and isn't afraid to make bold suggestions that you would never think of. it's totally worth it.

Good

We got married on August 13th, 2016. I'm not sure anyone grows up with the dream of getting married at Castleton, but maybe they should. My wife and I are both big foodies, and we were most worried about having amazing food from start to finish, and Castleton truly exceeded all expectations. The site was beautiful. The service was the best part though. Both Dawn and Stephanie were both AMAZING to work with. They were always SO quick to respond, so accommodating for special requests, and knowledgable. We had a bunch of special menu requests and they accommodated all of them. Planning a wedding is always stressful but they made it so easy. We loved the food so much we both agree if they opened a restaurant we would most definitely be willing to drive distances and pay extra for that food. They truly made it a great personal experience. We never felt like a number or "just another wedding" even though they do this every weekend. We were a little worried that another wedding would be going on that evening in the room right next to us, but we honestly never even noticed. They do a great job completely separating the two. There is no noise, no guest, no anything crossover that made it even a tiny bit of an issue. The overall value for the service and food and for your wedding is amazing. Thank you!

Castleton is an absolutely gorgeous place, and we were so happy to have our wedding here. Even on a rainy day, Caitlyn had a backup plan ready and it allowed for an intimate setting for our ceremony. Dawn was a joy to work with, laid everything out through the process, and always had an answer for any question we had. Everything, from the grounds, to the food & drinks, to the staff, was absolutely phenomenal and couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else.

I recently got married here and this place was beautiful and a great place! I recommend you have Caitlyn who works there help you with everything between that day and ever since I booked it she was always there to answer questions and to help in anyways possible!! She is the greatest!!!!

The venue was amazing especially the waterfront gazebo, which was gorgeous! The pictures turned out great! Staff were attentive and thoughtful! I couldn't have asked for more on our special day!

From the first moment we toured the Castleton, we knew that was where our wedding would be held! From the grounds to the ballroom, everything was perfect.Dawn is very knowledgeable, professional and helpful. She answered all of our questions and concerns. There was never any pressure Kelley was our hostess and she was fabulous!She too knows her job and does it very well.Kelley made sure this day was about us and what we wanted.She brought us in to see the room before everyone else and it was exactly what we pictured. Everyone raved about the food and the views outside. We had several guests with food allergies and specific diets, they were thrilled at the food choices that were made for them.We had a perfect weather and the grounds at the Castleton made for beautiful pictures. We can't say enough about the Castleton and their staff.

I have been working very closely with The Castleton for the two years of my engagement, and have nothing but rave reviews. From day one I've worked with Stephanie and Dawn, making sure my wedding went off without a hitch and when Caitlyn joined as my coordinator for the day of, it just ensured my comfort. Every need was tended to, I felt completely at ease, everything was understood and carried out the way I had dreamed it to be. My husband and I have nothing but amazing and positive reviews for the Castleton and we will definitely recommend it to every person we come across. The food was amazing, the service was impeccable. I like when I can smile at my server and they actually smile back, and there was definitely no shortage of that! And the bar staff was fun and silly, which was again appreciated.

I can't say enough about Castleton. They are true professionals in the wedding business. From the moment we booked, they were all over every detail. Stephanie is absolutely amazing: professional yet personable. Her response time to emails is amazing. Beautiful grounds, excellent venue, wonderful staff, and our day-of coordinator, Caitlyn was spot-on. She even dove in to help with the bustling of the gown when we were having troubles. Without a moment's hesitation, I would highly recommend Castleton and all the people who come with it. They did a fabulous job, the wedding went off without a hitch, and everyone commented on the beauty of the location. Something to bear in mind when looking for a venue is their minimum INCLUDES tax and gratuity. We could not find another venue that did that. BIG point to consider, as far as your budget goes. Summary: Book with them, and know you'll be in very good hands and your guests will be impressed.

The team I worked with at Castleton since I started planning my August wedding in October was fantastic from day 1! They were always easily reachable throughout the planning process and incredibly accommodating. The day of my wedding, Caitlyn was our coordinator and she did a great job keeping everything moving seamlessly and was attentive to the needs of the bride and groom! I definitely recommend Castleton - you will be in good hands!

We just had our wedding at Castleton last night and it completely blew away our expectations! Everyone complimented us on the gorgeous views and grounds, the delicious food, and the amazing staff and service. Dawn made planning so easy from the beginning and was happy to help me with any questions along the way. Kelley was our hostess and was beyond helpful... The night went seamlessly thanks to her! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding and we owe it to Castleton. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

I would not recommend this place for a wedding. I had mine there the other weekend and it was an okay experience during the wedding, but after was horrible! I am not a complainer at all..but this was the biggest day of my life! If you have high expectations, do not have your wedding here. The food was cold, over a dozen people had food poison after! The servers were rude to the parents, the staff was really loud during the father/daughter & mother/son dance! So rude! They forgot to put my flower petals down the isle. They threw out the only cake that was in front of us during the dinner (should have asked us if we wanted)...I never got to try my own wedding cake!!!! Also, after all this we called to let them know and they won't even work with us on a credit! We bought people food at another restaurant after the wedding since at least 40 people didn't want the cold food. They won't even work with us on that. I asked to speak to supervisor and they won't give me the phone #. There are a couple other things that happened, but I think you get the idea. Only great thing was the view!

We had our wedding at Castleton on 7/18/14. The entire team at Castleton was very helpful from the day we signed our contract with them to the day of the wedding. Anytime I had questions Dawn or Stephanie would respond to my email within the same day or answer my phone calls right away. If I wanted to bring family to see the grounds they made themselves available in case we had any questions at all. The day of the wedding, Ashley was my Coordinator for the day.. she was amazing. The day wouldn't have gone as smoothly as it did if it wasn't for Ashley. She would let us know where we needed to be and what needed to done and give us a five minute heads up so we didn't feel rushed at all. As soon as I started getting hot while taking the pictures she stepped in and got me water and moved me into the shade. The week of the wedding Castleton had a brush fire on the property next to them and unfortunately compromised the ceremony location that we had originally chosen. However they did everything they could to make the second option as beautiful as the first location, and it was perfect! I wouldn't have changed anything about my wedding day and It's all thanks to the Castleton crew! THANK YOU :)

This was the perfect venue for our wedding. I knew I didn’t want to have it at a country club and everywhere in Boston was too expensive. When I saw Castleton, I knew it was going to be perfect. Stephanie and Dawn were great to work with. They were so friendly and made you feel comfortable. When we went to look at the venue, Stephanie took the time to draft up a sample menu so we could see what fit into our budget. We ended up using the whole hall. The dance floor was huge and that was one of our requirements. You could hear our band (Big Party Orchestra) throughout the whole space. Stephanie and Dawn were responsive with every question that I had no matter how small. While we were taking pictures, they set up a table of all hor d’oeuvres for the wedding party so we weren’t starving by the time dinner came. We had amazing pictures (by Classic Photographers) and the food was great. I really have no complaints and I highly recommend Castleton for any event.

From planning with Stephanie to the actual day of the event we couldn't be more pleased! So nice to work with, willing to work within our budget, offered great suggestions, and hosted a beautiful event. The location was gorgeous and we couldn't have asked for a better place to get married!

Castleton really made my day easy. They were always quick to answer my questions and offered so much help. I was able to drop off all my decorations earlier in the week and they set it up for me on the day of.

I had my wedding at castleton in October and although the weather didn't cooperate the staff at castleton is wonderful! They met with me numerous times over the course of the year leading up to the wedding and listened to my concerns. I think the site is meant to be a full room, like I had, rather then half rooms.

Castleton was the first place we checked out, then we wasted a bunch of time looking at other sites. Castleton had it ALL: the beautiful ceremony site, acceptable rain-back up for the ceremony, spacious room, separate cocktail area, and friendly staff. We first met our coordinator the Thursday before our wedding. Melissa was great! She was attentive to all of our needs throughout the evening. She helped orchestrate everything, no rehearsal needed. The whole day was perfect.We had an outdoor ceremony in the garden, which was beautiful all around. Service was excellent. Food was spectacular. We had the Filet Mignon and Caribbean Chicken which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. We had a wonderful time. I didn't waste a moment worrying about anything.

Castleton is located on a beautifully manicured lake property conveniently located off Rt 93. Our coordinator, Stephanie Gendron, was the factor that made our wedding day and experience perfect. She discussed every detail and concern of mine until I was completely satisfied. She went out of her way numerous times for us to come in for food tastings, venue setups, etc. We got married in early November and were able to get beautiful photos outside. The inside is a little out dated and large, but again, with Stephanie's patiences and attention to detail we were able to create an elegant and classy atmosphere for 150 guests within the banquet room. The day of the wedding, I was brought to tears by how well Stephanie pulled everything together and how beautifully the venue looked. The wait staff that evening was also extremely friendly and professional. Everything with Castleton went perfectly and we thank Stephanie for that.

Castleton was instantly in my thoughts when my husband and I were looking into reception sites. The venue sits right on the edge of Cobbetts Pond, and has stunningly gorgeous grounds. When driving down the driveway you're instantly greeted by a gorgeous large waterfall. The grounds are very picturesque! Dawn was excellent at answering all my initial questions. From our first sit down with our consultant Stephanie up until our Wedding Day everything about Castleton has been a Dream. All of our questions were answered truthfully and promptly! Stephanie was a neurotic bride's dream consultant! She was always a phone call away, extremely pleasant about everything, even if it was in hind site, trivial! I was so happy we got Stephanie as our Wedding day coordinator (which is included in the package.) The food was so good! Stephanie and the staff at Castleton made our Wedding reception planning and Wedding Reception a dream come true!!

Liked being able to have my ceremony & reception all at one location.

Great venue, outside wedding, multiple beautiful locations to choose from, nice price, amazing food, exceptional service, great reception hall. I'd use this place again, but I'll be with my husband forever... :) maybe to renew our vows.

From the first time we saw the place to the end of our wedding everything was perfect. You talk to either Dawn or Stephanie for getting everything set up and both were laid back, extremely knowledgeable and very flexible and accommodating. The grounds aren't huge, but they are right on a lake sized pond. The area for the ceremony is has a quiet area with a fence to make it more intimate. But if you want they do have a gazebo for the ceremony, or just for pictures. There is also gorgeous flowers, a little bridge, and a patio/dock over the water. If it does happen to rain Castleton is prepared to move the ceremony inside to the lobby in front of a newly renovated waterfall. For getting ready, The bride and bridesmaids have their own room to get ready in with bathroom, closet, vanity and couch. The Closet also locks to put all your purses, etc. in so you don't have to worry about. We were allowed to be there an hour before the ceremony. Our Host for our wedding was Kelly and she was amazing. She set everything up PERFECTLY for us. During the reception she would always let us know what to do next so we were never confused or surprised about what was happening.But the best part is that we were able to ENJOY these events and parts of our wedding because Kelly was there when we needed her but was never rushing us around or buzzing in our ears all night long. It was our wedding and it happened exactly how and when we wanted it and that was thanks to our amazing host. Costwise you pay for food only (for the reception)but you have to pay at least a minimm amount, which depends on the day and time of day you get married. I would definitely recommend Castleton to everyone and wouldn't have done anything differently.

The Castleton is not only gorgeous and easy to get to, it is full of people who sincerely care about your wedding day. I worked with Dawn, Stephanie, and Melissa. They were AMAZING! They were always available and willing to listen to me if I had questions or concerns. I had a few guests pull out last minute and a few just show up and they were able to take care of everything with no stress to me. They made the entire experience stress free and amazing. My wedding day was beautiful. I cannot get over how amazing these women were. The food was incredible and the wedding ran so smoothly. Melissa let us know when food was being taken away etc. so that my husband and I were able to eat and actually enjoy the wedding.

I was hesitant to book The Castleton at first because i was sure I wanted banquet facilty, but the staff was so helpful and friendly, their prices were so reasonable, and teh grounds were gorgeous so i went for it and I am so glad that I did. The food was delicious, the ballroom have been upgraded with uplighting at a great cost and looked wonderful, adn our day-of-coordinator, Melissa was so helpful! Throughout the process the staff at the Castleton was very responsive to any questions I had. I would reccomend them over and over

We were not impressed with the level of attention given to us at our consultation. Also, the facility is pretty dated. The outside is gorgeous and that would be their one selling point.

If you ever have anything that you need a large space for - Castleton should be first on your list. They truly bring full service to a whole new level! They have centerpieces and other items on hand for you to use AND they literally handle every detail professionally. The food was amazing. We went family style and our guests were so impressed. We even had a professional chef in our party and he commented on the quality of food! Castleton met every expectation and went a step above it 10 fold!

Castleton is not only beautiful, but also has great staff to work with! Stephanie was professional, patient and so helpful on the day of the wedding that she made sure my day was wonderful! Would recommend it to anyone planning a wedding. And the food was amazing to top it all off! LOVED it! Isis

Thank you so much to the whole team at Castleton. The venue is gorgeous, and the staff is very professional. They are very flexible, attentive and work great as a united team! Dawn was great to communicate with - always helpful, and answered all my emails quickly and diligently. Melissa was my hostess and made sure everything flowed perfectly.

This was a perfect spot! We had both our ceremony and reception here and it was beautiful. The staff is amazing and they seemed prepared for everything and anything! Melissa was our planner and she was amazing, from directing everyone to help the bride (me) with a few minor disasters. I totally recommend it to any couple!

The Castleton was awesome. They were so organized from the minute we met with them to discuss options to the very end when they packed up our decorations and gifts. Melissa was our hostess. She made sure everything was set up as specified and that everything ran smoothly. I had a vision in my head of how I wanted things set up and when I finally saw everything I was overjoyed. It was just perfect! Castleton took the time to answer my many questions and really exceeded my expectations. The food was wonderful and we had many guests tell us that it was the best wedding they've ever attended. Great job everyone and thanks for making my wedding perfect!

I am so happy that I chose to have my wedding at Castleton! The grounds were gorgeous and the staff could not have been better. Our coordinator day-of was Kelly and she was an absolute dream. She stayed calm even when I was a bit frazzled, which in turn made me calm down. She was also on top of EVERYTHING and I truly trusted her to make sure everything flowed correctly on my special day. The food was amazing too -- we did the buffet and thought that was a great value and everyone enjoyed it! Couple of small minor things: -They do have more than one wedding in a day and it was slightly weird to be getting my pictures taken after the ceremony and seeing another wedding getting set up and people arriving and everything. However, since Castleton was probably the best value I found it didn't bother me too much. -If you want the DJ to do the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception he has to set up and break down 3 different times since they are all in different places. Not sure how this compares to others, but we ended up having to have live music for the ceremony and cocktail hour so the DJ could just focus on setting up in the reception hall. However, we ended up being very happy with this decision as the live music was beautiful. Overall, I was very happy with everything and would recommend Castleton to anyone!

Castleton is a wonderful place to have your wedding. They are not a hotel or country club, that happens to do weddings; they actually specialize in weddings and functions, and because of that they give you personalized service and attention, and really know what they are doing. I looked at 37 wedding venues before choosing Castleton. Yes, you heard me right- 37! So you know it has to be good. Luckily because I had my wedding on a Sunday, I had the venue to myself and was able to use the whole room. It holds up to 500 people so they were afraid it might look empty with my numbers (180 guests), but it actually looked great, and to me was so much more preferable than the way a divider looks. The first day I toured at Castleton, Stephanie showed us around, and from the beginning I loved her. She was just so warm and helpful. She continued to be amazing throughout the year leading up to my wedding- never getting sick of my emails, always welcoming questions and assistance, and always accommodating and easygoing. She ended up being the hostess the day-of my wedding and did an outstanding job under tough circumstances. I really wanted an outdoor wedding ceremony for my August wedding, and unfortunately there was a chance of showers on my day. We ended up going outside for ceremony, and although it did drizzle a little towards the end of it, it was not too bad. Stephanie let us wait until half an hour before the ceremony to make the call (because the florist needed the heads up to set up) and she was on the ball and professional the whole time, never letting her stress show. She really ran her butt off the whole day and worked so hard to ensure everything went smoothly. What impressed me even more is how young she is and how well she can manage weddings at her age. Dawn was often more business-like and curt when we communicated. My mom was unhappy with some of the extra charges she tried to tack on, as well. Be aware that you could sign your contract with the meal prices for one year and that those meal prices go up annually. Donna, who I communicated with less frequently, was easy to deal with and professional. One of the pluses at Castleton is that up-lights are included. The food at Castleton ranges from very good to great. The penne pasta appetizer with garlic-pesto cream sauce was delicious, as was the brownie sundae. The salmon was also excellent. The prime rib varied from person to person- some people had better cuts than others. Despite us moving around rapidly to different locations for photos during the cocktail hour, they did a great job of following us with the hors d’oeuvres, which were all very tasty, as well. From what I experienced the drinks were great, too. I think Castleton’s greatest asset is their grounds; they are so well manicured and maintained. The flowers are just beautiful and the grass is so green. It really makes for gorgeous pictures. The lobby is also really nice with the piano and waterfall and flowers. The function hall is pretty, but not spectacular. It can definitely be dressed up, though, with the right linens, flowers, and decorations. With the affordability of the venue, you should have some money left over to do this. Some areas inside look a little dated, such as the bridal suite, but they are starting to re-vamp things, and recently re-did their main sign and awning. Overall, Castleton is really affordable for the food, service, and beauty of the venue.

I booked our reservation for the Castleton for our wedding over a year and a half in advance. We had been to multiple beautiful weddings there before, and their prices seemed reasonable. While I'm confident that our wedding at the Castleton will be lovely, if I knew what I had ahead of me in planning my rehearsal, I would have thought twice. When I tried to book my rehearsal - over 6 months in advance - for the Friday before my wedding, I was told there was a wedding that night so I could not. This was fine, not a big deal, we made our rehearsal reservations for the Thursday night before our wedding. We put down a deposit at a venue for a dinner to follow the rehearsal. Today, TWO WEEKS before my wedding rehearsal, I was called and told that I had to move it to either Wednesday night or Friday at NOON. I have people who have bought plane tickets, taken time off of work, etc. to be able to make our rehearsal on Thursday. I have put down hundreds of dollars in deposits for the dinner that was supposed to follow this rehearsal. Over half of our wedding party cannot make either of the offered times, so the only option we now have is to have an "off site rehearsal" aka we're going to have to do our rehearsal somewhere else. I'm LIVID... mind you, not at the fact that they had a booking and had to reschedule, but that they are informing me of this TWO WEEKS before my wedding. They didn't even apologize. It's completely outrageous. So, if you book here, know that while you are getting a beautiful site, you are dealing with the possibility of this occurring to you, as well. Good luck. UPDATE: The staff at the Casteton did, eventually, do what they could to try to make up for the nightmare with the wedding rehearsal. I eventually got an apology and a few small fees waived due to the incident. My wedding day at the Castleton was beautiful, and all of the staff that I dealt with the day of were great. The setting is hard to beat, and the food was great. I would recommend the Castleton to a friend, but I would certainly make sure they were aware of the incident described above.

Melissa was our hostess for the night and she was awesome!! We didn't want to have our wedding at just another banquet facility. Castleton really does an exceptional job even though they do more than one wedding at a time. Everyone raved about the cleanliness, the friendly staff, and the excellent food!

I recently had my wedding at Castleton on August 13th. we had such an amazing time. The initial planning with Dawn and Stephanie went great they were very helpful and willing to work with us to fix the perfect menu. The day of my wedding our hostess was Kelly and she was amazing she really made our special day perfect eveything went off without a hitch. We did not have to worry about a single detail!! I would highly recommend Castleton for anyone planning a wedding.

We checked out 4 or 5 other places before castleton and we knew right away they werent what we wanted. It was raining and sleeting when we first looked at castelton and without seeing the beautiful landscape they way it would be the day of, we knew the second we saw it thats where we were getting married. Its beautiful inside and out. all the staff were very nice and easy to talk to. We absolutely loved our hostess Melissa. Everyone commented on how it was the most beautiful and gorgeous place theyve seen for a wedding. It was truly everything we wanted for our special day and they delivered to the fullest!! I would always reccomend castleton for any function!!

Dawn, from Castleton, helped us make our dream wedding a reality. She answered all of our questions and made sure everything was ready to go for our big day. Kelly, our hostess, met with us before the wedding to get all of our ideas and put everything into motion. The day of the wedding, everything went exactly as planned. Kelly was there for everything we needed and always had a smile on her face (even when I needed to get into the bridal suite AGAIN). Even my guests commented on how helpful Kelly was. Castleton is an amazing place for a reception!

They were amazing with everything! They were very patient, and accomodating. They are on point with all the details, so you don't have to worry about anything!

They are in the business to make sure any type of function goes off without a hiccup. Same is true for my wedding that just happened 2 weeks ago. they go the extra mile and help you with whatever your concerns may be. Plenty of room for all guests in attendance, beautiful grounds.

I had my wedding here, it was beautiful. On the water and gorgeous grounds! The staff was very helpful, food was amazing!

I was recently married at Castleton and it was perfect. From the moment we chose the venue to the moment we departed the reception, Dawn and her crew were so helpful and always there to answer my questions. The guests are still raving about the delicious food and beautiful scenery. I highly recommend Castleton

Beautiful grounds and friendly staff. Got great photos in front of the waterfall and pond- gorgeous.

Beautiful outdoor area for an on-site ceremony and pictures. Staff service was outstanding. Food was good. Could use updating on interior, but still a nice reception hall nonetheless...and price was very reasonable.
