Castle Farm boasts a range of stunning ceremony locations. Whether you’re dreaming of a barn wedding, a waterside ceremony, or a wooded wonderland, we have the perfect place for you.
Sapele Mahogany Barn Doors
Suitable for any number of guests.
Sapele Mahogany Barn Doors are not your typical barn door. A wooden bridge by a large pond leads to the shaded east side of the barn where an elegant stone paver ceremony aisle leads to two handcrafted solid sapele mahogany barn doors. Your guests will await your arrival next to the foal pastures in wooden cross back chairs. This site is also perfect for a handcrafted Mandap.
Wooded Magic
Suitable for up to 200 guests.
Cafe lights strewn through the trees line the wooded trail that leads from the guest parking lot to our magical wooded ceremony site. The entrance is marked by Castle Farm’s antique lion statues. Mature hardwood trees, dogwoods and hollies surround the cobblestone paver aisle. Your guests will get a glimpse of the horse pastures and barn from their seats on handcrafted solid wood ceremony benches.
Timber-Framed Portico
Suitable for up to 150 guests.
Say your vows under a covered portico crafted by enormous timber frame beams harvested from our Century Farm. Your guests await in the front lawn beside a large pond surrounded by crepe myrtles and river birch trees, facing our gorgeous barn, until the solid mahogany front doors open and you make your entrance through the barn aisle to the portico or arrive in a horse drawn carriage to the head of the aisle and walk up the aisle traditionally to the covered portico.
Pond Fountain
Best for under 100 guests.
Your guests are seated on the side lawn facing a large pond home to our flock of ducks and ducklings. A white lighted fountain is the focal point and large weeping willows provide an elegant backdrop. Your choice of 5 arches or a timber frame cross will be placed at the edge of the pond and your aisle is a white stone path leading from the east side of the barn to the water’s edge.
Horse Lover’s Pasture (Coming Soon)
Suitable for up to 200 guests.
Some of our couples want their own horses more involved in their ceremonies or just enjoy having our Andalusians close by. Our front pasture features 6 separate large grass fields that radiate out from a central timber frame structure built around a line of mature pine trees. A deck above overlooks the entire farm and is a fabulous photo op. Your guests will enjoy up to 6 friendly horses watching you walk down the aisle.

Andalusian Aisle is a grass walk leading from the back of the arena to our tent location. Café lighting lines the pasture fence line where our Andalusian foals play. The walk is a natural photo op for your guests to take selfies with the foals as they walk to our reception site,
The tranquil pond with its beautiful fountain is frequently used as a ceremony location, a site for cocktail hour, Mehndi ceremonies, or rehearsal dinners. It also provides the perfect backdrop for gorgeous photos on your special day.
Many couples choose to host cocktail hour in the front of the Reception Tent so their guests can enjoy the two large copper fire pits with white Adirondack chairs and large white patio umbrellas, as well as a giant chess set and corn hole games.
Across from the Reception Tent, there is a 10 acre grass field that leads to the cattle pastures. Guests always love to wander over to see the micro-mini Scottish Highland calves.
