History
The castle was built in 1860 by Augustus Beardslee by Irish and Swiss masons. During its long history, the castle survived two major fires in the 20th century. After the second fire destroyed much of the kitchen, the space was left vacant for three years. In 1994, the current owners purchased and renovated it to its former glory.

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.

Beautiful Venue

I could not be happier with Beardslee Castle! Lynn and the staff were wonderful! Lynn was communicative but never pushy, gave great advice but took all our opinions and wishes as top priority. The food was incredible and the castle and grounds are outstandingly beautiful. I cannot recommend it highly enough!! I could not imagine a better place for a wedding

A True Fairytale

I honestly don't even know where to begin when it comes to Beardslee Castle! I can't say enough great things. My husband and I got married there in July, and the entire wedding process was so easy with the help of Lynn. She was truly my saving grace when things got stressful. She is so great at all things wedding related, and you will be in the best hands for your big day! Beyond a wedding planner, she really took the time to get to know us, and I don't know what I would have done without her. Anything I forgot, she remembered! She went above and beyond for my husband and I; we can't thank her enough. The venue itself is breathtaking, inside and out! I'm in awe every time I visit. The overall feel of the castle is just as beautiful as the physical appearance. The owner/chef worked his magic on the food (as always) and everything was even better than we had expected. He even took the time out of his busy night to personally congratulate us. We really loved that. I've always dreamed of a fairytale wedding and Beardslee Castle was the perfect place for our happily ever after. I'm honored we had the privilege of making our dreams come true there. My husband and I had the night of our lives and our guests had a great time, too! We highly recommend over and over again!

Amazing Venue!

Beardslee Castle was an amazing venue for our wedding. Absolutely beautiful and amazing food. We are still getting compliments from our guests. Lynn was amazing to work with and answered all of my constant questions. If I was to do it all again I would pick Beardslee every time! Can't wait to go back for our anniversary next year.

Beardslee Castle Bridal Shower

I had my bridal shower at the Beardslee Castle this weekend and it exceeded all expectations! Lynn was accommodating, flexible, and very easy to work with. Planning during covid is difficult, but Lynn made sure that the event was fun, and safe for guests. A few days before the event I brought all of the decorations and did a mock set up to make sure the day would be perfect. The food was delicious and our menu was customizable! Lynn and her team helped with the set up and take down. I highly recommend the Castle for any event!!!

Where do I even start?!

I don't know where to even begin. It was PERFECT!!!! Lynn was absolutely incredible and made everything such a breeze and stress free. The setting is absolutely breath taking and the food will leave you wanting more. All the servers are extremely polite and add to the whole atmosphere. I am almost sad my day is over just so I don't get to talk and visit as much. We will DEFINITELY be back for the restaurant just to get our fix.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
