About

Castle McCulloch in Jamestown, North Carolina is a historic wedding venue with an otherworldly charm. This site was initially erected in 1832 and is now included on the National Historic Monument registry. The design was intended to reflect that of European castles, which now gives it a storied look. Walking up to the castle, you cross over a drawbridge for a stately and grand entrance. Inside, you can find large, circular chandeliers constructed from wrought-iron and rich, wood floors nestled underneath. These medieval details lend themselves to a sophisticated look, for a wedding of historic proportions.

Facilities and Capacity

This place of storybook romance possesses a number of rooms that are suitable for a range of party sizes. In the largest, the Crystal Garden Ballroom, up to 300 individuals can be accommodated for a resplendent event. Grecian and French architectural elements grace the layout of this magnificent and lofty space. Adjacent is the Hillside Terrace, which provides an exterior patio area for smaller receptions and ceremonies alike. Waterfront views and elegant pairings of glass and slate details mark the Queen’s Chambers, which can hold up to 80 loved ones. If neither of these event locations are to your liking they additionally have the Great Hall, aptly named as it boasts storybook archways and furnishings. Sit down to a banquet dinner with 85 guests in this spacious, historic, yet contemporarily outfitted room.

Best Day Ever!

I don't know where to start. From Paulette as our contact at the castle to Stacie's help on the wedding day, everything was just perfect. We used Brian Anthony Photography, Keepsakes Bouquets, Monte at New Paradigm Studios, Cakes by B and Pepper Moon for catering and they all exceeded our expectations. It was a magical day and everything our daughter dreamed of since she was a little girl!

Tammy Koening, Elite Designer and General Manager, for Castle Catering was fantastic! Tammy was so easy to work with, accessible, and helped us put together a beautiful, delicious and creative menu for my son's rehearsal dinner as well as configuring the table layout to accommodate the group comfortably while still having a nice dance floor. Our guests raved about all of it. Tammy left us with NO stress over the food, drinks, etc. at all. The Castle Catering team took such good care of the bride and groom during the dinner that they even made sure they had some leftovers packed up to take with them! I am still getting compliments from our guests that we had the best ever rehearsal dinner food! I highly recommend Castle Catering (with Tammy K.) for any event, and I would use them again if I ever do an event in the area!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
