Castle McCulloch

BEAUTIFUL venue! All of the staff at Castle McCulloch were extremely helpful and friendly. My reception was in full swing and my time frame was nearing its end, but they had no issues with me extending everything one more hour; I just had to sign a quick paper. I honestly cannot imagine getting married anyplace else.

What a great venue for my daughter's wedding, who wouldn't want to get married in a castle. Easy to work with, provided much of the planning.

I recently hosted my daughters wedding at Castle McCulloch. It was that fairytale wedding she has always wanted. The reception in The Crystal Garden was breathtakingly beautiful.

Best place to get married. Very beautiful place!

This is a beautiful vendue and very unique. The bar is a bit overpriced, but it works out.

I had a beautiful wedding at Castle McCulloch. They were able to put together everything for me in just 5 weeks. Even though it rained on my wedding day it could not have gone any better. There was more then one wedding that day but you could not tell that we were not the only ones there!

I fell in love with Castle McCulloch the first time my mom and I were there for a bridal expo. The only area I would say that needed improvement would be the time limit placed on my wedding. We were not allowed in the castle prior to 4:30 and had to be finished by 10:30. For this reason, things seemed a little rushed. That said however, the experience as a whole was very enjoyable from the planning all the way to the actual event. Everyone at the Castle was very professional and went above and beyond to provide us with whatever they could within certain limitations.

The Castle was a beautiful ceremony and reception cite. The place was beautiful and the employees were very helpful. It is a strict business with little flexibility (unless you are willing to pay extra for it), but it was well worth it. I couldn't have asked for a better or more beautiful place to get married.

The Crystal Gardens was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The Christmas lights were a gorgeous addition to my winter wonderland wedding. They even helped me arrange for Santa and the Grinch to stop by my reception.

If you want a beautiful place for a wedding setting then Castle McCulloch is the place that you want to go. The wonderful castle provides the most perfect background for pictures and the landscaping is wonderful also.

Overall the place is gorgeous and I loved it. The only thing I would change is that they are very strict on their time limits so you have to manage your time well. I did like that they give you a Castle Attendent on the day of your wedding to make sure that everything to do with the Castle is runnig smoothly.

We had our dream wedding at Castle McCulloch in Jamestown, North Carolina. We had many, many people comment on how beautiful our wedding was. It was a gorgeous place to have our wedding. We go back to the Castle for the special events they hold there for the holidays.

Beautiful setting. Use of the preferred vendors an enormous asset.

They required you to pay for everything that you could pay for, we needed an extra hour and there was no one using the place before us but we still had to pay $100 extra. Other than that kind of thing they were very good.

Castle McCulloch is beautiful, but expect to pay a lot if you book here. For starters as a venue the cost is moderate to expensive in comparison to other vendors in the triad area of North Carolina. Then they have preferred vendors that they expect you to use which will get you discounts, but if you don't use preferred vendors for certain things like caterers for example, you have to pay additional fees, and the discounts don't apply to the additional fees. If you want alcohol, which you'll likely expect for your toasts, you'll to pay extra for bar service and the discounts for preferred vendors also don't apply to this. If you want a full bar service for mixed drinks, you're going to have to buy all of your own alcohol and bring it in yourself, but you can't have it there any sooner than 72 hours before your event and you have to take the time to label every single one of your bottles and/or cases of beer, wine, champagne. In the time that you book, you have to allow set up time for your vendors as the Castle will not let your vendors on any sooner than the start time that you book, which lessens the actual amount of time for your ceremony and reception if you have the reception on site like we did. You can't use just anyone, as they do have some vendors who have been banned from their venue. A lot of the preferred vendors are just as expensive and are even overpriced. We liked none of the caterers on their list, found a much cheaper florist on our own, and a cheaper photographer. But we did have a great experience with Island Sound DJ's and Rev Ron Grillo who were on the preferred vendor list at the time. So yes, be prepared that you are going to have annoyances and that there are going to be extra costs than just the original booking. However, the grounds and facilities are beautiful and with the right vendors the atmosphere of your wedding will be amazing. All of our guests said that our wedding was beautiful, and kept gushing about how beautiful the Hillside Terrace and the Crystal Garden were. At the end of the day, my husband and I will say that Castle McCulloch was worth the money that we paid.

The Castle was a beautiful and unique place to hold our Wedding. The prices are quite high to rent the place, and the service is not very flexiable. Certain Packages are offered to choose from.

The castle is beautiful, but I warn and welcome those who want to use it the same time that I did (December). Warn because there is a lot going on due to the castle's event--Christmas at the Castle and welcome because the price is much more reasonable then during the spring, fall, and especially summer.

The Castle was a beautiful place to get married! Even though it was a little expensive, my family and friends and I loved the end result!

I really enjoyed having my wedding at this place. It was a great price for the reception and ceremony. Although the caterers they provide are a little over priced. You come out cheeper paying a few and going with another caterer outside of what they recommend. and there was a wedding above us that was going on that we were told would be finished by the time ours would start, they were still up there running around for awhile during the ceremony and after..Other than that.. It was a great place to have a wedding!

I would have to say make sure you have a wedding planner available to you!
