Why a Fairytale Microwedding at Castle in the Country?

Stress-Free Wedding Planning

We make planning easy. There is no confusion, no stress, just simple steps and personal guidance. Most ceremonies take place in the gazebo. If the weather shifts, we'll move indoors. We'll help with timing, setup, and every exceptional detail.

Once you've said "I do," the property becomes your backdrop. Favorite photo spots include:

  • The pergola

  • By the pond

  • The gazebo

  • The old stone foundation
