We loved our wedding location and working with the staff of Rock Castle! They grounds and the house are beautiful, right by the lake with lots of places for photo ops. The visitors center had 2 nice large, air conditioned Bride and Groom room...s. Sam was the staffer working during our wedding and he was very helpful while we asked questions about how/when we could decorate. Being a historic home built in the 1700s, we (and the Rock Castle staff) wanted to be very aware of the grounds to be sure to take care of them, but it was easy to do. Grand Central Party Rentals handles their bookings and rentals and were great as well! We had a large tent by the lake, so we have lots of great pictures by the lake for the reception. And the trees on the ground put good shade on the house around 6:30pm and good shade on the side yard earlier in the evening, so it was pretty nice for our evening wedding, despite the record setting heat on our wedding day! With the heat aside, we had a great time!
