A Magical Place to Get Married!

My husband and I toured a couple of different venues. There was no question that we were choosing Smithmore Castle to have our dream wedding. From the very get go, Rob the owner, was very friendly! It felt like he truly cared about making our dream wedding come true! He made his Castle feel like our home. Rob made the whole process easy and enjoyable. He always responded fast to my texts and emails! We stayed the weekend of our wedding. When we arrived Friday night, he had a welcome basket with all kinds of goodies for us! He helped with the set up and breakdown of the wedding. The best memory is when he got out on the floor and started dancing with us!!
The venue itself is stunning! We were able to capture beautiful pictures!
We even had his chef cook us breakfast, and that was the best breakfast ever!!
I highly recommend Smithmore Castle for anyone who is wanting a magical wedding!

Terrific, beautiful, and magical wedding venue!

I’d highly recommend using Smithmore castle for your wedding venue. The venue was as fairytale and magical as they come. I am so pleased to have chosen this venue for both my ceremony and reception! The day could not have been anymore beautiful, and the location added to it!
