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!

Amazing, not stressful, beautiful!

Just got married here. Everything was perfect and I had been stressing about so many little things but realized when I got there that everything was perfectly fine and handled!! It couldn’t have been better and our family had commented “that may have been the most beautiful wedding I have seen”. Samantha the coordinator and Stephanie were amazing girls and helped make it all come together!

I had a great wedding at a great venue

Words cannot express how amazing Samantha Payne and the Castle McCulloch staff was on my wedding day. Samantha was attentive to my needs and a calming force during my hectic times. She assured me that she would handle things and she DID!!! She was always asking if we needed anything throughout the day and I could genuinely tell she cared about us. Would 1000% percent recommend Castle McCulloch for a wedding, especially with Samantha rubbing the ship.

Amazing unique wedding venue for our castle-themed wedding

We got married at Castle McCulloch with the intimate wedding package on November 16, 2021, and overall we HIGHLY recommend them! This venue is ABSOLUTELY beautiful, and so unique. Very helpful and friendly staff. We worked with Stephanie as our wedding coordinator, and she was pretty much always very helpful in responding to my many, many questions as the bride. The only tiny negative part of our experience is when the videographer asked 2 weeks before the wedding for a run-down of all movements during the ceremony, and I asked Stephanie if she was the right person to ask. She told me that if I wanted assistance with this, I would need to hire a full wedding coordinator. I just wish I had known there was a difference at the beginning, to avoid confusion. But overall we had an amazing experience at this wedding venue. We are SO happy we got married here. It was an unforgettable experience. Note: we got the King and Queen thrones, the beer/wine bar, and the inside door flowers added on, and they far exceeded our expectations!

Castle McCulloch has it all! Obviously an uber cool castle, but also lovely grounds with many photo opportunities! They also have a separate reception venue providing a totally different ambience for couples looking for modern elegance. Must see venue!
