    The perfect venue for your dream wedding day

    I can't say enough good things about Castle Farm. It was our first venue tour when we began planning, and we immediately knew that this was where we wanted to get married. Darren and Catherine have thought of absolutely everything to make sure events at Castle Farm are unique, memorable, stunningly beautiful, and smooth from start to finish--from having clear umbrellas to provide our guests when it rained, to offering unique experiences with their animals, to providing beautiful wood pieces to decorate with. If there were any problems on our wedding day, we didn't know about it, and that is something we'll be eternally grateful for. Catherine and Darren are professionals who truly have your best interest at heart, are willing to work with you, and have a vested interest in making your dream day a reality. I have never been more confident that we picked the perfect wedding venue, and I would choose them again in a heartbeat if I were to do it over again! Thank you, Castle Farm, for making this process as simple and painless as possible, for thinking of absolutely everything either we or our guests may need, and for making us feel so special.

    Best Day of Our Lives! Castle Farm is THE Premiere Wedding Venue!

    My Husband and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this venue and the owners, their staff as well! So professional and VERY efficient! They all take this business very seriously and genuinely love hosting couples for their most special day, and it absolutely shows. This is by far the most amazing venue we’ve ever stepped foot on. It blew us away during the tour, our walkthroughs, of course the day of, and STILL we dream about the time we had.

    We had of course fantasized about our wedding and what it might be like one day, but never imagined in our wildest dreams we would be able to pull off and have such an incredible time and experience celebrating, like what Castle Farm had made possible for us. Everyone was SO incredibly nice and helpful, was an absolute pleasure to work with, and the venue grounds were breath taking, like nothing we’ve ever seen! Just stunning, and all the animals were SO adorable ! We loved their company during the rehearsal dinner in the stables (SO COOL highly recommended the 3 day/rehearsal dinner package, worth every penny!) and during our wedding day! The guests loved hanging out with Oden the beer pony! They could not stop raving about the venue and how beautiful it was and we too just fell in love over and over again with the venue each time we visited. The cake bakers they have contracted to work with the venue also did a PHENOMENAL job! If you’re in need of someone to bake Smith Island cakes for your special day (a Maryland and Eastern Shore staple) please work with the lovely couple Catherine and Darren at Castle Farm work closely with, they are so talented. Tastes home made straight out of your family’s kitchen! You could tell they were made with a lot of love and care!

    Also, the overnight accommodations in the honeymoon suite were so luxurious and wonderful, we felt so at home. We just made so many amazing memories and are so incredibly thankful. Castle Farm you guys are the BEST!

    Dream Wedding Venue

    Dream wedding venue! I cannot express how much we loved having our wedding at Castle Farm. The whole experience from taking the initial tour to our wedding day was so smooth. Catherine, the owner, was so sweet throughout the whole process, quick to address any questions and giving us loads of ideas to make our day extra special. With the all-inclusive package, so much stress was taken off and it was amazing to see how well the whole team of vendors worked with each other. The venue offers so many different location options for each part of your day. In order to utilize all of the property, we chose to hold our rehearsal dinner in the woods, our ceremony in front of the barn doors, and our reception in the white reception tent, which worked out so well. We also opted for the 3-day access, which I would do again in a heartbeat! It was so nice to be able to drop things off before our rehearsal, stay the night of our wedding at the venue (the room was amazing), and have the ability to not worry about clean up until the next day. Of course, the animals were a big hit with us and our guests from Odin the beer pony, the Andalusian horses, and the mini cows! The entire Castle Farm team, all of our vendors (Andrew Nock Photography, Alison to the Altar, The Street Kitchen, Edrock Entertainment, and Andrea Bounds Beauty) worked so hard to make our day one we will never forget and treasure forever!

    Castle Farm's reply:

    Taylor, You and Brandon were such an amazing couple to work with! We genuinely enjoyed every moment of your weekend. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review and please come back to Castle Farm anytime for photos and to visit! Warmly, Catherine and Darren

    Castle Farm gave us our dream wedding

    We recently got married at Castle Farm and it was truly amazing. From the time we met Catherine and Darren back in February 2022, they were lovely, attentive and so helpful. We selected the all inclusive elegance package in which many of the vendors were included (caterer, photographer- we had a choice of a few, planner, DJ) and we also did our rehearsal dinner at Castle Farm. I found doing it this way was not only easier (we live in Florida, so we were planning from a far) but it was so convenient for our guests. Catherine was also very flexible about adding or taking away services to customize our wedding to exactly what we wanted. We got to utilize different parts of the venue for different events. Catherine and Darren's attention to detail in their venue is amazing. The bride and groom suites are huge and awesome. So much of the tables, wood work, etc are done by Darren himself. But our favorite part of Castle Farm was the animals. It 's what really drew us to have our wedding there. They have so many adorable animals and guests can go right up to them. We also had Odin, the beer horse, during our cocktail hour which was so cool. It's something our guests will never forget! Castle Farm just has this unique, special feel as a venue and it translates into your event and definitely your pictures. We could not be more pleased with how ours came out. I can't recommend Castle Farm, Catherine and Darren enough. They truly made the planning process so easy and we are so grateful and happy we chose to have our wedding weekend at Castle Farm. We highly recommend!!

    Liz and Ryan, I really appreciate that you took the time to leave us such a lovely review. Your kind words are genuinely valued by our team. Your wedding was spectacular :) Catherine

    Best day ever

    The facility at Castle Farm is something out of a story book! Absolutely beautiful with everything you need to have the wedding of your life. The owners are amazing and so nice and helpful. Beautiful horses, stunning barn, amazing lighting. We couldn’t have had a better day, and all the guests loved it too!

    Beyond Perfect Wedding Venue

    My husband and I had our wedding weekend at Castle Farm and it was the beyond perfect venue.


    When we were looking for a venue, we knew we wanted something very private without the chance of another wedding going on in the vicinity / the public around, and the farm was just what we were looking for - you have the entire property to yourselves. We also wanted various settings for each portion of the wedding (without actually driving somewhere) and we got exactly that - our rehearsal dinner was by the pond, guests arrived and walked through the wooded path, the ceremony was on the side of the barn in front of the beautiful barn doors, cocktail hour was behind the barn overlooking the back of the property, and then they walked down a long aisle to the tent for the reception. It was like they kept getting wowed over and over again and it made the day feel more like an experience than just a basic wedding.


    The property itself is gorgeous. From
    the horses to the barn to the pastures and tent, it takes your breath away everywhere you look. It’s also very clean and well-maintained (literally the barn is immaculate). Our guests were raving about it and saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to.


    Finally, the owners, Catherine & Darren, are so kind, down to earth and helpful. Anytime I had a question, Catherine was very fast to respond and during the wedding day she has this calming effect. We are so grateful they opened their farm to us and would recommend it to any couple looking for a luxurious but relaxed vibe who want to take advantage of the expansive property.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We enjoyed getting to know you and your family:)

    Beautiful Summer Wedding

    Absolutely stunning venue! The owners are very involved throughout the process and have thought of just about every option you could imagine. Location allows for multiple venues for wedding, receptions, rehearsal party - we used almost all of them. Highly recommend!

    Best day of our lives

    My husband and I got married in here in June. We absolutely loved our experience with Castle Farm. Darren and Catherine are amazing and so hopeful with any issues that come up. Our wedding was a dream and we got SO many compliments on the venue. So much is included with the rental and the woodwork is absolutely beautiful. Cannot say enough good things!!!

    Castle Farm's reply:

    Thank you Casey! We enjoyed every minute of your perfect day. The newborn foals got lots of love from your guests ❤️

    Catherine and her crew went above and beyond to make sure our day was absolutely perfect. From being our middle man with vendors to adding every little detail we wanted for our day to be great. Hands down the best place we could've chosen.

    Dream venue

    Castle Farm 100% exceeded my expectations. We did everything we possibly could to have our wedding here. The staff was so friendly, comforting and just overall amazing. The owners are so down to earth and make sure your wedding day is PERFECT. Every aspect of Castle Farm is phenomenal. The wedding planner/coordinator Tiffany, I cannot praise her enough! She helped us every step of the way over the last two years. She was available just about 24/7. I could not have done it without her! She is the sweetest, most hardworking, loving lady I know. Every time I wanted something, she made it happen! I had an awful issue with my wedding dress taking almost a year to get here and being discontinued - she called every single bridal place she could think of, even in California where she knows others to make sure there was an extra just in case! We had to move our wedding date due to COVID and their entire team made it the most easy going, stress free process. Every guest has commented on how stunning the entire farm is. I cannot wait to show off our wedding day to everyone!

    Fabulous...from a guest perspective!!

    I was recently a guest at this venue. Over my 60 years there are just a handful of wedding that I enjoyed as much as this one. Of course the marriage would have been just as sweet in a back alley (just kidding!!!) but the touches that this venue added to the moment were over the top. I can not say enough about the beauty of the barn where we enjoyed cocktails. And then there was the tented reception!!! I have never attended a tented reception that had artificial turf instead of natural (wet/muddy) grass....mind blowing 😂😂😂. The attention to detail by the coordinator was worth every penny...right down to her using her own wedding ring to fill in for the bride's that got "misplaced" at the last minute!! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!

    Fairy Tale Wedding

    I had a Fairy Tale dream wedding at Castle Farm! Their staff helped me find a wonderful horse to ride into my ceremony. They were down to earth and easy going while holding a safe and creative space for our celebration. The venue delighted us and our guests. Horses were in the fields and filled the barn during our cocktail hour. I loved the bridal suite. I recommend this venue, 100%!

    Perfection.

    I couldn’t of asked for a better wedding venue. Everything from the whole year of planning to the day of was hands down the easiest. Tiffany, the wedding planner literally did everything while my mom and I didn’t even have to lift a finger. She is amazing and trustworthy.

    Catherine & Darren Casto, the owners will do anything to make sure your wedding is everything and more that you ever dreamed of. I can’t thank them enough.

    My wedding day i would do all over again every day if i could. Not ONE thing went wrong...

    Tiffany B. Wyatt was our wedding planner and coordinator at Castle Farm. We could not have been more pleased with her expertise and everything the venue had to offer. The owners of Castle Farm, the Casto family, were very much involved and did everything possible to make sure the day was just how we envisioned. The setting was both rustic and elegant from the barn, to the horses, and the tented reception area. Our guests commented how much fun they had and how beautiful the setting was for their evening at Castle Farm. Tiffany and the Casto family went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our day was unforgettable!
