Review summary

Castle Hill is a stunning, private castle venue with manicured grounds, ample on-site lodging, and beautiful photo opportunities. Staff are professional, responsive, and went above and beyond with planning, dietary needs, and weather contingencies. Food is excellent; the tent works well for large events but can feel big for smaller parties and the dance floor is modest.

Amazing venue for the wedding of your dreams!

We had a small wedding at the Castle. The location was beautiful and very private.

Lisa Cormier was an amazing wedding coordinator. She accommodated our group which included babies, toddlers, pre-teens, teens, and my 95 year old grandmother. She was very responsive and made everything perfect. I couldn’t have done it without her.

Fonze, the chef, provided one of the best meals I’ve ever had. We will definitely be back for dinner. Even with the menu being fine dining, the portions are very generous and all of our guests loved it.

Our waitstaff, Kelly and her counterpart (didn’t catch her name) were also amazing! They provided everything we needed with quick service. They were so kind and patient, especially with all the kids being there.

The hotel manager, Andy, is very welcoming and accommodating.

The rooms are very clean and provided everything we needed and we were asked if we needed anything extra.

The hotel has beautiful grounds and is well maintained. Beautiful scenery for all the photos!

10/10 would recommend.

An absolutely incredible weekend

It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we are for Lisa, Kelly, and the entire staff at Castle Hill. We got married in July 2025, and it was truly the wedding weekend of our dreams. From our initial correspondence up until our wedding day, Lisa was dedicated to helping us achieve our goals and willing to answer all of our questions no matter how big or small. We had heard great things about the food, but we were truly blown away by the quality and portion sizes that Castle Hill provides. On top of that, the grounds are perfectly manicured, allowing for a gorgeous garden wedding (weather permitting). We also loved being able to have all of our friends and family stay right next door at the Pointe. Having everyone in one place makes the weekend flow that much easier. Our guests were impressed by the entire weekend, and so were we! We wish we could do it all again.

A magical place for a wedding

We are so grateful to have had our September 2024 wedding at Castle Hill Resort & Spa. From start to finish, the weekend was an absolute dream. We were blown away by the professionalism, care, and attention to detail displayed by every single member of the Castle Hill staff we had the pleasure of working with throughout the weekend. Friends and family could not stop making comments about the positive interactions they shared with the Castle Hill team. With plenty of on-site lodging, we got to spend all weekend celebrating with our guests. Our decision to get married here was made very easy immediately upon meeting Lisa Cormier, who is so down to earth and who made us feel genuinely cared for on a personal level throughout the entire planning process. We could not recommend Castle Hill Resort & Spa more.

Top Notch Service

The castle was the perfect back drop to our wedding. The three properties: condos, the pointe and castle were perfect since all of our guests had to travel in. Having everyone on-site and enjoying the amenities was amazing. Lisa, venue coordinator, was amazing at providing recommendations, fast response times, being flexible in how we wanted our day and literally everything else. Kelly, who helps assist the day of, was always around to help but never a bother. She made sure everything was executed perfectly and when there was a small hiccup with some flowers and I alerted her she immediately solved the problem as if nothing happened. Everyone gave us compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how courteous the staff was. We are so so happy with our choice to get married at the Castle!

Amazing Wedding at Castle Hill

I would absolutely recommend Castle Hill to anyone who asked me about wedding venues. Lisa Cormier was amazing throughout the entire process -- they have a phenomenal system that makes for a perfect day. Lisa and her team were willing to help us out with whatever we needed. Whether it was changes to chairs, tweaks to the ceremony setup, flower adjustments -- they were amazing. We did both our ceremony and reception at Castle Hill and they nailed both of them. So organized, efficient and well done. Lisa has an answer to every question you may have and knows the venue like the back of her hand. Leading up to the wedding, she was also amazing, helping us work through food questions and changes, room assignments, and really any logistical matter. She and her staff know the area and its vendors extremely well. Her recommendations and help with others we were working with made our lives all the more easier. If there was a question or topic we were forgetting, Lisa made sure we didn't. Thanks to her we never felt overwhelmed or nervous. Most importantly, the area took on historic flooding less than one week before our wedding -- Lisa was communicative and helpful through it all. She never made a rash decision or jumped to any conclusions during the process. We took it one day at a time together and we will be forever grateful for the way she handled our event in the midst of a serious weather event taking place. When they expected rain just a day or two before the wedding once again, the Castle Hill team hand dug a trench around the reception tent to drain water in case they experienced further flooding!!! I'm not sure how many venues would have worked with us to make the event run as planned, let alone dig a trench to help the tent stay dry, but Castle Hill did so without us even requesting it. They truly went above and beyond for us in every regard. Lisa and her team are absolutely amazing and I am so thankful that we had both our wedding ceremony and reception here. If you are looking to get married at a beautiful venue with incredible people helping you every step of the way, Castle Hill should be at the top of your list. There is no one better as far as we are concerned!

Phenomenal Experience

We couldn't recommend the Castle enough. Lisa (Director of Sales) was so incredibly helpful every step of the way. This turned out to be our dream venue, at a reasonable price. Being able to have the whole Castle for the wedding party and parents gave us a truly intimate experience. The food tasted even better the day of the wedding than it did when we had the tasting, and it was fantastic already! A beautiful venue with a ton of heart!

Magical from start to finish

Our Castle Hill wedding was absolutely perfect, even with the less-than-ideal weather. To start, working with Lisa and Kelly truly made the experience. Lisa did such a great job coordinating all the details - from my vendor arrivals to moving guests along, and even handling snafus as they popped up. Because of her and Kelly's coordination, our entire bridal party was able to fully relax, enjoy the day, and not worry about the details.

The Castle itself was also incredibly beautiful. Every little detail was taken care of, and we were more or less allowed to have free reign of the area to arrange it all perfectly to our vision. Having the Castle as our home base made the weekend - from hanging out in the lobby the night of the rehearsal to getting ready in the bridal suite, it was just unbelievable. The cocktail hour was held in the Castle too, so all our guests got to enjoy it's beauty. The ceremony location is gorgeous with picturesque views, and despite the light rain, there were enough trees surrounding us that we were able to pull off the planned outdoor ceremony. On top of all that, the tent was stunning - it had plenty of space, tasteful decor, and beautiful chandeliers that were statement pieces.

The food was amazing. We had multiple guests tell us it was not only the best wedding food they'd had, but some even went so far as to say the filet was the best they'd EVER had. The appetizers and salads were delicious, too. We also loved the fact that nearly all of our wedding guests were able to stay on site with the Pointe and the Condos right there for our use. It made it so transportation was not something we even needed to think about. Overall, we truly are so happy we chose Castle Hill Resort and Spa for our wedding weekend. It was absolutely magical from start to finish.

A Dream Come True

I honestly don't know where to start, but if you're looking to have a fairytale, picturesque wedding – this is the place. I got married on September 21, 2019 and it was perfect. The venue is amazing, featuring a gorgeous Castle, and instagram-worthy tent with gorgeous chandeliers, and a garden that looks like fairies might fly out to greet you.
Beyond the visual appeal of the venue, the people that work there go above and beyond to make your weekend special. Lisa was a huge draw to us choosing this venue - when we met her she was kind, yet honest about what we'd be able to do with our wedding weekend. She was easily accessible via text and email whenever I had questions throughout the year leading up to my wedding. The weekend of the wedding she was on top of everything and my day-of coordinator, Kelly, was equally as prepared. We had a huge wedding with close to 200 people and everything went off without a hitch!
The food was amazing - just as good as the day we did taste tests! Every single server on staff was super sweet and accommodating. We have a sick uncle who had to go back to his room after the ceremony, and the staff sent the reception meal down to his room at the Pointe Hotel! If that's not going above and beyond, I don't know what is.
I was also a very hands-on bride and they were completely okay with that! I was able to go into the tent and set things up as I wanted, but they also made it clear that they could do all of that for me if I wanted.
I truly can't recommend Castle Hill Resort and Spa enough!

The most perfect wedding

I got married here on 8/17/19 and would do anything to go back to the most amazing perfect day! Castle Hill was a magical place that offered everything you could want for a dream wedding. It allowed your wedding party to stay in the castle which gives you a close knit feel while providing other guest a normal sized hotel right down the hill so everyone was at the site for the wedding. Lisa is the most amazing person ever and worked with my family and I to get us everything we wanted and more. She was flexible and was willing to work with us to make our dream wedding come true. I got compliments on the food from every single guest. The chef listened to our recommendations and over performed. Everything about this weekend was perfect. Weather was a lurking issue, but Lisa made sure we did everything possible to get me my outdoor wedding and she did. Thank you so much, there are not enough words to express my gratitude!!!!!!!

Our wedding was the most amazing event because of the professionalism, and personalized care we received from the staff. My husband and I, as well as our guests, were treated like royalty. No other venue could possibly surpass the quality of the food and service we received. Thank you, Lisa, Chef, and all the staff of Castle Hill Resort and Spa for a fairy tale wedding!
