Jillian B. Sent on 12/17/2021Excellent Experience!
I would like to send a heartfelt thank you to everyone that played a part in making my wedding day everything I ever dreamed my wedding day would be! Jessica was very helpful with getting me started during the planning stages. I wasn’t sure where to begin, but Jessica and Luis lead me in the right direction and stayed in constant contact to keep me updated and informed up until my actual wedding day. Thank you so much to Eve for taking such good care of me in the Princess Suite on the day of my wedding. You are truly the best! ❤️ From Stokesay’s preferred vendor list, I used Indigo Blooms for the beautiful drapery and floral decorations, and Sean Shipper of Party Express DJ’s who provided a great variety of musical entertainment for all of our guests to enjoy! If you are looking for a beautiful and unique venue to have your wedding, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Stokesay Castle and I encourage you to consider this magnificent establishment for your wedding venue!Stokesay Castle's reply:
Jillian, we cannot thank you enough for these kind words! We are so happy you and Johnny enjoyed your special day. Everything turned out magically, and we cannot wait to see you back here again soon! -

Blake T. Sent on 04/09/2024Fantastic all around!!
We cannot speak highly enough about Stokesay, their entire team, and, most importantly, Hannah Kufro, our Wedding Coordinator that we worked with! My wife and I signed our venue contract one-year to the date ahead of our big day, with a different coordinator, one who ultimately ended up transitioning to a different organization just a week before our tasting was scheduled. For a couple planning a wedding, especially so close to their big day, this would normally have been an incredibly stressful change to hear about, however, we were expeditiously contacted by Hannah and met her days later at our tasting – immediately after meeting her we knew we were in great hands, and we both agree that our initial impression was spot on. Hannah’s attention to detail, flexibility, and knowledge have continued to impress ourselves, our parents, and our guests who experienced a phenomenal wedding just this past weekend. She not only hit the ground running with our event, but confirmed several details and was able to work with us to ensure our wedding day was as perfect as possible.
While I have personally sent messages to several friends I know who are engaged and looking for venues, I wanted to share this note here for those couples looking for venues – Stokesay should 100% be on your list; the charm, history, venue, and staff will all make your big day as perfect as you could ever dream of – if anything, just go check it out – once you see this in person you’ll see exactly what we are talking about.
With deepest gratitude,
Blake and Lindsay Tobias -

Magical Winter Wedding
I can't say enough good things about Stokesay Castle. We had our wedding in December and it could not have been a more perfect venue for a winter wedding. The decor was breathtaking and very classy. All of our guests raved about the food. The service was incredible and I truly felt like part of a family.Stokesay Castle's reply:
Jeanne,
Thank you for the very thoughtful review! I'm so happy your winter wedding dreams came true! You and Will were so organized and easy to work with! Our team at Stokesay appreciates your feedback and don't hesitate to reach out to us in the future. Best Wishes! -

Christina Sent on 10/11/2017This venue is amazing. From the moment we walked in and sat down with Emily to discuss details we knew this was the place for us. It has so much character and Emily was so accommodating, making sure we got what we wanted without breaking the bank. Throughout the entire process they were there when we needed them and answered every silly question I had. Day of, they made sure we had everything we needed, the staff was so lovely and pleasant and when it came to the ceremony Emily was there by my side, coordinating and everything went so smooth. She made sure we were fed during cocktail since we were taking pictures and even helped bustle me before moving over to the reception. Once we got to the reception, they fed my husband and I first, helping us get more time to socialize and even though apparently they were under staffed that night you would have never guessed. Our guests kept saying how lovely and attentive everyone was and it couldn't be more true. This place takes ur vision and makes it a reality, anything you need they help get and they do it with the biggest smile. I am so happy we picked this place and I can honestly say they are one of the main reasons everything was perfect. Thank you stokesay staff and especially Emily for everything she has done for me the past year!

Samantha Sent on 08/31/2017Choosing Stokesay Castle as our wedding venue was the #1 best wedding planning decision we made. The food is delicious, atmosphere is amazing, staff is so friendly and helpful. Emily is the coordinator and she is amazing. I did not have to worry about a single thing with her there. She answered my questions throughout the process and on the day of she took care of everything. Emily, and the rest of the staff, made sure we had everything we needed from the morning through the end of the reception. We were able to have our entire day there from getting ready, all our portraits, ceremony, and reception which was really important to me when looking for a venue. Beautiful outdoor location for photos and cocktail hour and ceremony. It rained so we ended up moving our ceremony inside bur It was still beautiful. It was a last minute call but ended up being a seamless transition because of Stokesay's organization. We also had our rehearsal dinner in the wine cellar and plan to go back for many anniversary dinners! -

Sean Sent on 09/19/2017As a professional, full time Disc Jockey, I have been to hundreds of venues over my 18 year career. When I got engaged, I mentioned to my fiance that there were only a handful of venues that I would really consider for my wedding. Luckily, she trusted my judgement and after looking at a few venues, Stokesay castle was the wedding venue we chose. We could not be happier. Our team of Emily and Alissa, who coordinate weddings, did an amazing job along with Jordan our banquet captain. Everyone was friendly and fun throughout the planning process and listened to some our unique yet workable ideas such as a late night boneless buffalo wing bar which I personally wanted yet never experienced at a wedding. Another point worth mentioning is that small details are not overlooked at this venue. My one concern was that my pasta bar may take extra time and drag dinner out and that I may be waiting in line a long time for food. As soon as the toasts and blessing were finished, my wife and I were immediately asked what we wanted on our pasta and the order was put in for us so we could enjoy time together without standing in line. I thought this was a great touch that I didn't even think of. I also enjoyed the flexibility as our DJs had the party rocking and we needed more time. The staff gave me plenty of options for the bar to go overtime and ways to fit my budget. This allowed us to enjoy the party for another hour. Post wedding, our guests would not stop complimenting the dinner service; especially the pasta station and wing bar. While I did not have my ceremony here, there is a beautiful area for that too. In closing, I would not have changed a thing and even requested the names of the entire staff who worked my wedding to thank them. Big shout out to Terri, Kurt, Amy, Joy, Jay, Jillian and Ian. Thanks for making our day a day we will always remember!Stokesay Castle's reply:
Sean and Tracy,
I feel not only blessed but truly honored that you chose Stokesay Castle as the venue for your wedding- you of all people know what Berks County has to offer and to think that we were at the top of your list puts the biggest smile on my face and the faces of the rest of the staff here at the Castle. I cannot thank the two of you enough for being the people you are- clearly you are meant to be and I wish you nothing but the most loving of years to come. Looking forward to celebrating your love at Stokesay Castle for many many anniversaries. I will be sure to pass this amazing review on to the rest of the staff who were there to help you the day of your beautiful wedding.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

User2647682 Sent on 06/14/2016Where do I even start? There are not enough stars on here to give Stokesay. We loved it before we even visited, and were nervous that it wouldn't be as good in person, but when we visited it was even better than we expected. The venue is incredibly beautiful, the food is amazing, and the price is extremely affordable (especially coming from Jersey). It would have been worth it just for that, but the staff was actually the best part - everyone was always so nice, friendly, and enthusiastic (they even did most of the decorating, exactly as we had wanted, after my husband decided he'd had enough of it). The coordinator provided through the venue, Emily, could not have been more helpful - there are seriously not enough great things that I can say about her. Even guests who had very limited contact with her mentioned to me weeks later that they noticed how great she was. I had some really dumb questions, and she very patiently, thoroughly, and promptly answered every one - even the times I emailed her when she was in the middle of a currently very busy wedding season (and her first as the wedding coordinator) and mine was still a year away and by my own admission should not have been a priority at all. The castle was a pretty long drive for us and for most of our guests, but there is not a doubt in my mind that it was the right choice for us. If anyone in charge reads this, I don't care how much she's making already - please give Emily a raise! -
User2096544 Sent on 04/14/2015I could not be more happy with how my wedding turned out! It was a March 20th wedding, first day of spring and a crazy snowstorm decided to crash our wedding that day! Stokesay staff handled it perfectly!! I wanted an outdoor ceremony but since the snow kind of ruined that for us, I had no decor for the indoor ceremony! Lauren and her staff put some trees and candles out and made it look so fabulous! They set up all the centerpieces for me and made them look exactly how I showed them!
I arrived at 1030am, but the ceremony was not due to start until 530pm. The bridal party had our own hostess that made sure we had anything we could possibly want! We were even greeted with mimosas and a cheese/cracker tray! The scenery was to die for!! The snow just covered the grounds and the pictures were amazing! Their pastry chef made this amazing cake, he took my vision of a tree bark cake with a heart carved into it and made it an even better reality! The staff made sure there was a drink in my hand, or near me at all times. They were excellent with keeping watch and giving me anything that was needed!!! I got so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how great the food was! We did a buffet style reception...the pasta station was awesome and perfect for all the picky eaters in my family! I had a few kids at the reception and I noticed how some balloons appeared and were bouncing around the room which kept them occupied all night! They truly went above and beyond what was expected! Book this place.... Book it now! I promise you wont regret it! :) -
User1833065 Sent on 09/28/2014We had a personal waiter that was clearly paying attention to when we looked like we needed anything and she would find it!! Lauren went above and beyond to make sure that we felt no stress! It is a beautiful place and friendly staff!!
