I do not think I can recommend Castle Farm more than I already do. Catherine and Darren were extremely accommodating and easy to communicate with. We ended up doing the weekend package and personalizing some aspects which was no issue at all. Due to life events/military we had an intimate ceremony in January at the Farm with our parents which was made possible by Catherine & Darren - and truly made that time so much easier for us. This past weekend we had our wedding celebration with everyone and it was MAGICAL.
Catherine and Darren take the time to get to know the bride and groom. From first greeting you can see these two take great pride in what they have created and tend to daily. The animals and wood work for the barn are stunning. The way the farm is decorated with delicate lighting for the evening and early morning creates a magical feeling. The land/grass is always well kept.
The option to choose a package (or fully
Customize) and have access to a variety of vendors to look into really can help make the day so much easier. We took off the smith island cakes and added our own dessert option. We were also able to stay Saturday evening, making Sunday clean up possible and easier.
The day of everything went so well. They have it down to a T for all possible details and with rain surrounding our day we did ask what happens if it rains - Catherine quickly provided the re assurance on plan A, B & C.
There’s a variety of amazing photography spots and ceremony spots which I think is perfect and can draw in all types of couples. We chose the side barn with the white wood doors opening. That was such a fun reveal!
For getting ready the boys had a great spot to relax, play pool, and hang out. Us girls spent the whole morning in the bridal suite getting ready and it was truly the best time with champagne and music. The bridal suite has a very cute look to it with so many mirrors (photo opt!) and a little kitchen area to help making snacking easier when it’s an all morning affair to get hair and makeup.
We chose to use the tent instead of the barn for our reception (although the barn is stunning inside). The sparkling chandelier above the dance floor with our decor really came together perfectly. We ended with a sparkler exit - which went so smooth! It was a dream.
Finally - we did she our rehearsal dinner there for the package. It was a rainy evening and although we wanted to have dinner by the tent outside, I was stunned and loved how they accommodated to have rehearsal dinner inside the barn after the rehearsal.
I think if anyone is considering this Venue, they should visit and review the pamphlet provided. We received so many compliments from guests who thought it was such a beautiful venue and how everything went so well. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day.

I can’t say enough great things about this venue! The rustic package makes it super easy for your planning needs, with including a place for groom/groomsman & bride/bridesmaids to get ready, excellent food for your guests, and a BEAUTIFUL location to make all your dreams come true! Catherine and Darren are great hosts, they even toured my family around the venue prior to the wedding and accommodated to our older guests by offering several golf cart shuttles to and from the ceremony and the reception. Castle Farm is seriously the best one stop shop on the shore!

I could not imagine a better place to get married than Castle Farm. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful, from the peaceful and ethereal woods (where we had our ceremony), to the lovely and well-kept barn, down Andalusian aisle to the festive and gorgeous reception tent. We also loved the fire pits outside of it for people needing a break or to cool off from all the dancing!
Our guests were saying all night how much they loved it, appreciated its beauty, and more than one said to me it was “the perfect venue” and I’d have to agree! Moreover, Catherine and her staff were so lovely, helpful, professional and accommodating throughout our wedding planning process, from touring the venue to the end of the night itself (and the morning after when we were delayed searching for our car keys 😂). The bridal suite and groomsmen lounge were awesome for us to get ready in, too, and we loved our stay in the bridal suite that night. So comfortable and sleek, without ruining the rustic feel of the place!
Maybelle, our flower cow, and Odin the beer pony were such incredible additions to make it that much more memorable and special!
If you want an outdoor wedding with incredible natural beauty at every turn, with experienced and lovely staff assisting you, start - and end - your search with Castle Farm!!
