    Beautiful venue

    I could not have asked for more! The Castle is absolutely beautiful and Annette was the most helpful throughout the entire process. She responded in a timely manner and answered all questions prior to wedding day and assisted with any changes day of. My day was so special!!

    A True Fairy Tale

    When I got engaged, I knew I had to be married in a castle. Greystone Castle came up on a search of castles in NY and I was blown away with the website alone! From the moment we met Annette and toured the castle, we envisioned our entire wedding there and booked it on the spot. Throughout the planning process, Annette was an excellent communicator, responding to all my questions via email almost instantly. We had a small wedding (50 guests) and did a lot of things non-traditionally and she went with our flow and had many ideas to offer as well. Although the weather was beautiful that day, we planned to have the entire wedding indoors (ceremony and reception) but we were still able to go out to the courtyard as we pleased throughout the day. We would have paid much more for the venue, the price was shockingly reasonable!! The price of the venue included her help with coordinating, tables/chairs, dinnerware and even some decorative items. She even did all of the set up the day of our wedding so we could relax not have to worry about decorating! She was amazing with keeping the day running smoothly and timely. I was even able to stay right at the castle the night before which provided a stress free morning to get ready and no transporting from place to place. Our guests are still commenting about how beautiful the venue was and what a great experience they had! Annette is VERY passionate about what she does and about the beautifully restored castle and she will take great care of you!! If you are looking for a real life fairy tale, Greystone Castle is the only choice!

    greystone castle's reply:

    Oh my! Thank you so much for the kind words, Nora! Can't wait to see the pictures with you and the fairy tale book!!

    Amazing place!

    We had my daughters ceremony and wedding at Greystonr Castle this June. Our guests cannot stop talking about what an amazing time they had. The owners were attentive to every detail and were extremely helpful with planning as we did not live local. I would highly recommend this venue.

    The Greystone Castle is absolutely the most beautiful wedding venue. We got married here on June 30th, and even weeks after our wedding, our guests are still complementing the venue. Not only is the Greystone Castle beautiful and unique, but Annette is fantastic to work with. Annette is so helpful and will make sure your event goes as planned. Our wedding was flawless and we owe much of that to Annette and cannot thank her enough for making our fairytale wedding come true!

    My fiance and I cannot be MORE excited for our upcoming wedding ceremony and reception, both to be held at Greystone Castle. We found the venue here on WeddingWire.com, and the pictures and video tour on Greystone's website don't do the venue justice. It is absolutely breath-taking! The owner, Annette, is very friendly, personable and easy-going, and communication so far has been outstanding in planning our event. The venue is absolutely gorgeous - we will have our ceremony in the beautiful chapel-style room in the lower level, followed by cocktail hour on the balcony, which overlooks the ballroom, where we will have our reception with plenty of dancing in the drop-in dance floor.

    Annette and her team did the most amazing job and put the wedding ceremony and reception together so perfectly! I fell in love with the venue when I first went to see it and on my wedding day, it exceeded my expectations. I had my fairy tale dream wedding at Greystone Castle. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Its a hidden gem right in the village of Canastota.

    Annette was outstanding. She coordinated with our vendors and made sure every detail was perfect for my daughter's wedding. Knowing that Annette was in control took a lot of the burden off of me. She was just wonderful and I cannot say enough about her. The Grestone Castle was beautiful and my daughter's wedding turned into a truly magical evening. I highly recommend this venue to everyone!

    Greystone Castle made our wedding reception all that imagined and more! Greystone Castle was beautiful, accommodating, and provided us with the options to make our wedding personal to us.

We have received nothing but compliments from our guests in regards to the delicious food, exceptional service, and intricate details that make Greystone Castle so unique. We could not be happier! Thank you for all that you and your staff did to make our special day so memorable.

    There is so much I could say about Annette Bargabos and Greystone Castle! It was beautiful and accommodating -everything I could have asked for and more! Annette was wonderful, she was there assisting me from the start and took care of every little detail, things I didn't even think of, she was there! I had my ceremony downstairs and reception upstairs in the large room. The drop down dance floor is huge and the roundness of the room made it a great room for a reception! The dj was up on the stage behind head table and the food was in a separate hearth room off to the side out of sight. When I arrived, and saw the room all set up and ready for my guests, it was everything I had envisioned and took my breath away. Annette is simply amazing and my day was truly a fairytale at a castle!

    My daughter had her ceremony and reception at the Greystone 10/16/2010 and Annette was wonderful. We couldn't have asked for anything else. And the food was excellent hats off to the caterer. John with Carnegie was the best and absolutely wonderful to work with. They were extremely attentive and took alot of the weight off our shoulders making sure everything ran on time and smooth. And the wedding photos were amazing. The Greystone had so many different shots . Thanks again to everyone at Greystone & Carnegie for a wonderful job. I highly recommend.

    Greystone Castle is a gorgeous venue to get married in. It's very much the diamond in the rough in Central NY. We had the pleasure of working with the owner Annette on planning our wedding. She's like your own wedding planner. I emailed her almost weekly with questions and she was always very accommodating. I couldn't have asked for a better day - she kept everyone in check so that everything was on time and we were able to enjoy our wedding day. We couldn't have done it without Annette.

    Gorgeous location! Annette was SO helpful before the wedding and the day of! She was checking on everyone making sure they were comfortable, made sure the day progresses on time, and always made sure we had a drink in hand! Absolutely beautiful and remarkable place to have your wedding reception.

    We could not have found a more beautiful and unique wedding venue. Annette was amazing and we could not have pulled it off without her expertise, flexibility and kindness. Our family and friends truely enjoyed having our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in one place - but each was in a different part of the castle which kept things fresh and moving. Thank you for making our day special!!!

    I had my ceremony and reception at The Greystone Castle. It was a bit pricy but it was well worth the money! Their venue manger, Annette, made sure everything was absolutely flawless and exceeded my (already high) expectations!

    We absolutely lived the venue as did our friends and family. It is absolutely gorgeous! A bit in the pricey end, but we'll worth the money. Annette was wonderful at keeping everything flowing and answering questions as well as honoring any special requests from my groom and I. On rehearsal day we felt a bit rushed to leave rather than being able to enjoy the experience. Would recommend for sure!

    5 stars! The place is beautiful, clean and the owner is wonderful. She was like an on the spot wedding coordinator. She helped with the planning of the night and the caterer. She even kept the Ring Bearer in "check" when he started to run around the reception. I loved the location and would do it all over again in a second!

    greystone castle's reply:

    Please indicate the wedding from last year(with the name David)-a rating of 1.6-for the event in regards to the date the reception was held here.I did not have anyone with the last name of "David" as a bride or groom in 2009.
    I would like to know specifics,so I can respond accordingly.
    Thank you,
    Annette

    Annette, the owner was extremely rude, impolite and quite frankly mean during the reception to more than one quest. She also yelled at more than one guest and made more than a few sarcastic comments. I have more than one daughter and would never, never, never do another wedding at Greystone Castle. The owner's behavior was unacceptable. She was a solo act and by all accounts she should have had another person helping her. A big disappointment!

    PS The high grade for quality of service goes to the caterer who was not the owner.
