Perfect New England wedding venue

Getting married at Castle in the Clouds was the perfect setting for our big day on 10/22/22. We had the most beautiful fall day & I was so pleased with how far my budget went at the castle, the open bar pricing is hard to beat & the catering options were so reasonable. The venue has so much character we barely had to decorate & the food from great events catering was excellent. Our guests loved seeing different parts of the property & we’re so happy to have this special place to visit for years to come.

It’s worth noting that the events team at the castle is tiny for the volume of weddings they hold. We appreciated all they were able to do for us & could see how hard they work to make sure their couples are well taken care of. This is not a team that has the capacity to respond in real time throughout your planning process & the limitations of their services were clearly disclosed in our inquiry process & outlined in our contract. We hired a day of event manager to help with all the vendor coordination & day of details in the final months leading up to our wedding & we all had a great experience working with Jessica & the events team during our wedding week. Thank you Jessica, Patti, and the entire castle team!

Wedding Venue with Breathtaking Views

We had our wedding at the Castle in the Clouds and loved it. The wedding views from this venue (which are on top of a mountain and overlook Lake Winnipesaukee and the other mountain ranges) were absolutely beautiful. The wedding vows are said on the very top of the mountain and the guests are transported up by trolleys (which they loved), and the cocktail hour is outside a little lower down on the mountain with breathtaking views, and the reception is inside a beautiful space. Jess, the coordinator there, was wonderful to work with and answered all of our questions and helped the day run smoothly. We would absolutely recommend Castle in the Clouds for a unique and picturesque wedding venue.

Beautiful Fall Venue

Castle and the Clouds was a stunning wedding venue with gorgeous fall foliage! The annual tasting event was very helpful for picking out the wedding caterer. The team was professional and helped to organize the ceremony and keep things running smoothly. The wedding guests absolutely loved the trolley ride to and from the ceremony site and the view can not be beat! An excellent venue!

The most beautiful venue!!!

Castle in the clouds was absolutely the most perfect back drop for my wedding - could not have dreamed of a more perfect spot. Jessica was the greatest and was so incredibly helpful in planning such a special event during this absolutely crazy year. She’s sweet, caring, and so knowledgeable. Get married here if you want to not worry about a thing while having the most picturesque venue New Hampshire has to offer.

Best of the best

Castle in the Clouds really needs no review. The historic and scenic beauty of this spot are really unparalleled. What makes or breaks this venue is the wedding coordinator, Jessica. I found her to be so helpful from the start. I planned this wedding across the country, but was able to stay in touch via email and phone calls. We were also able to meet up once at castle in the clouds, only to meet with freezing cold temperatures and hail. Even that did not deter us. Jessica was very knowledgeable, and professional throughout the process. She is patient answering questions that I’m sure she has been asked a million times. Somehow, she managed to make me feel like it was the most important wedding even though she had just done 11 the month before. Did I mention that when it took 20 minutes to figure out how to bustle my dress, Jessica was on her hands and knees alongside my sister and sister in law to dig through my dress. Castle in the clouds will always be beautiful, but Jessica made it so much more special, and such an easy, relaxed process, I can’t imagine my big day without her.

Castle in the Clouds is a beautiful and historic location! The views are breathtaking and the entire estate is radiating with romance. The staff is gracious and friendly across the board. This place is like New Hampshire's own mini Downton Abbey. I enjoy the opportunity to play may guitar here when I can to create a romantic or 1920s mood. Can't say enough about the wedding planner Jessica and her staff. Professional & creative.
