Couples may exchange vows in the Castle’s magnificent Ceremony Room, the elegant Maiden’s Tower, or the intimate Battel Hall, each rich in character and charm. Larger celebrations are perfectly suited to the rustic Fairfax Barn, while outdoor spaces, including the Pavilion Lawn and Castle Island, provide romantic open-air options.
