Fairytale wedding, a dream come true!

We had our wedding here and let me tell you all it was an amazing event! The space is so spectacular and has so much charm that decor is not an issue. We also had our rehearsal dinner here by the way. Our vision was rock and roll royalty and it went way beyond our expectations. The venue can only hold about 120 people so it made it an easy choice ! No need for minimums and inviting people to fill seats. We made use of all of the rooms ( very fun and classic) we chose to dine in a separate area and dance in the great hall. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PRIVATE CASTLE WEDDING THIS IS YOUR DREAM VENUE!! If your worried about quality of food don’t it’s amazing, you can even do a pre private tasting for a small fee to taste the main dishes you might consider.

My Enchanted Wedding at The Tarrytown Castle

First and foremost I can’t thank the Catering Staff for my Enchanting Wedding.
My Event Director Maria made it stress free from the minute I called to schedule a tour. She went beyond and above to make sure every detail was not missed. She was very professional and made us feel like we were family. The owner Michael Pasqualini, who has another location called Mansion on Broadway in White Plains assured us that we were in good hands with his food and service. He was not wrong, it was spectacular! They had taken over the venue part of the Castle in January of this year, we went to see his reviews on Mansion on Broadway and we were delighted with all the amazing reviews and felt more comfortable having our wedding there.
The Maitre’d Johana delivered all that was promised along with a very caring staff.
We definitely recommend The Tarrytown Castle, you won’t be disappointed.

We were looking for a venue that was breathtaking and can also accommodate a small wedding. We had less than 30 people. During our search, it seemed that large venues weren't look at our wedding as a real event. Not at the Castle. Nicole was amazing. She made me feel like our wedding was the only event she was working with and the only event that mattered. E-mails never went unanswered and she was so accommodating. We had an awesome day thanks to the staff at the Castle Hotel and Spa.

A dream wedding come true. I had my wedding here on the evening of March 20, 2016 and every dimension was excellent, professional and flawless -- guests and family are still talking about the experience, which is what you really want on your wedding day: beautiful memories. The Castle itself is gorgeous, an authentic Norman castle built in the 19th century, overlooking the Hudson river (a 30-minute drive from Manhattan) with soaring ceilings, stunning grounds...your pictures will be phenomenal. Nicole and her staff were a godsend, responsive to all our needs, working with us on prices/packages that fit our budget, and helping our bridal party throughout. The setting and decor were perfect for our intimate event (80 guests) and we barely needed any extras. The food at the reception was amazing, made possible through their award-winning restaurant/wine list; we had passed and table style hors d'oeuvres both very delicious, and the sit-down dinner was outstanding. I just can't say enough about the courteous staff, the attention to detail Nicole gave to our event, and the quality of the service. The Castle is perfect.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Castle Hotel & Spa. We live in the city (my husband is in finance, I’m a TV producer), and we were looking for a location that’s close enough to the city (to accommodate all our NYC friends) but that also felt like a weekend getaway. The Castle is a stunning venue that’s exudes luxury and top-notch grounds maintenance (we were coming off a wedding at the Plaza, and we felt that Castle provided that extravagance of a Plaza wedding but at more reasonable prices).

The shining standout of the Castle is its impeccable professional staff. We didn’t have a wedding planner, so we had to largely rely on Castle’s wedding team both throughout the planning process as well as the day of the wedding. Gilbert Baeriswil (the General Manager) was beyond helpful every step of the way. He was always available and accommodative, answered every question we had big or small very promptly, and helped guide the process from the moment that we booked the Castle as our wedding venue. Gilbert and his team catered to my every request and executed our vision perfectly (I also felt like they understood what I wanted from day one and didn’t require too much micro managing – which is huge for a busy bride! The end result turned out to be exactly what I had in mind). The day of the wedding went very smoothly as well. Rudy Ferreiras and Amanda Depalma (day-of coordinators) were excellent as well.

Food was another highlight of our day – the Castle food was hands down the best wedding dinner we’ve ever had. Between the quality & sophistication of the menu combined with impeccable waiting service – our guests felt like they were dining at a five-star restaurant. Every course was delicious and unique (none of that standard wedding “beef or fish” route), each course was paired with carefully chosen wine (and we’re big wine fanatics, so that part was important to us).

Overall, we couldn't be happier with the venue & highly recommend it to all.

We could not have been happier with our choice of venue. The Castle on The Hudson made our wedding day truly magical. We have received endless compliments and rave reviews from our guests regarding the venue, quality of food and quality of service. A number have pointed out that this was by far the best wedding venue and food they have ever experienced (this included individuals who are used to high-end venues and dining). Food was exquisite, the dining room looked breathtaking and the level of service was simply top-notch. The Castle staff, from bellman to the General Manager, went out of their way to make our day special and memorable. Thank you!

My wedding at Castle on the Hudson was exceptional. Our coordinator, Carrie was wonderful to work with. She was always friendly, patient, and timely with her responses to our emails and phone calls. She listened to all of my ideas and created an environment that was exactly how I had envisioned it. Each step along the way, her calm demeanor alleviated any stress I felt which allowed me to really relax and enjoy the entire day. The entire staff at Castle on the Hudson was attentive and lovely to myself, my husband, and all of our family and friends the entire weekend of the wedding. The rooms we stayed in were beautiful and spacious. The castle itself is gorgeous and the grounds are landscaped beautifully. The food at the wedding was excellent. My husband is a chef and we had a handful of guests that are either chefs or food enthusiasts and they all raved about how good the food was. The overall attention to detail was remarkable. Carrie managed to include all the unique little touches I requested throughout the evening making my wedding that much more special. From start to finish it was everything I imagined it would be.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
