Searles Castle Events

Searles Castle for my daughter’s wedding was, in a word, perfect! We managed to pull off basically a destination wedding for 185 people. Our travel to the venue during the ten months leading up to the wedding was kept to a minimum, thanks to the staff’s accommodating nature. Most of our correspondence with Shaun and Scott (who take care of everything) was through email and a couple of phone conversations. They were an absolute delight to deal with in every way! Professional, flexible, assuring, etc. The day was looking like a complete wash out, but Shaun kept assuring me that they VERY seldom have to move a ceremony inside… and he was right! The castle courtyard was magical for my daughter’s fairytale wedding. Shaun and Scott went out of their way, with their terrific servers, to meet our every need. They even went out during the ceremony to buy Dr. Pepper for my brother in law! Everyone at the wedding raved about the venue. As the previous reviewer said, I, too, am looking for an excuse to go back. Thank you Shaun and Scott for absolutely everything!

My husband and I booked Searles Castle for our August 2013 Wedding Reception and couldn’t have been happier! The venue itself is spectacular, a true fairytale setting inside and out! That along with their staff’s attention to detail helped in creating our perfect day. Their service was exceptional and truly made our planning process so much easier. Every meeting prior to the wedding day was thorough, professional, and fun! You can certainly tell that they take pride in what they do and will do everything possible to help create your wedding vision. Thank you to everyone at Searles Castle for the perfect wedding day and making our fairytale come true!

My sister got married here a couple weekends ago and I can’t say enough about the venue and the staff. Scott and Ali were awesome. They made everything easy and kept the entire event organized. I can’t say enough good things about them and the rest of the staff.
One of the workers, I forgot his name, even downloaded a song on his iphone because the DJ was having trouble getting it to play on his system. The song was special to my family so being able to have it played was great!
The food was good and the champagne was wonderful. The evening was fun, elegant, organized… just plain awesome. If you’re looking to get married or have some other fabulous event, Searles Castle is worth checking out.

This venue is breathtaking. The views and photo opportunities are endless. My fiancé and I were searching for the perfect venue and visited Searles Castle a few times. They were nice enough to invite us for a mock event to get a true feel for what a wedding would be like there. The food was delicious, the vendors were extremely helpful and the staff just went above and beyond to make sure we were having a nice time and that we had all of the information we needed.
Unfortunately we live in MA and it came down to how many of our family members would be able to make our ceremony if we chose this venue being that it was almost 2 hours away and therefore we chose to go with a place closer to where we lived. You HAVE to add this to your list of venues to explore if you’ve recently gotten engaged. The place is beautiful and the staff is more helpful and pleasant than almost any place I’ve ever been. Thanks Searles for allowing us such a nice experience visiting you!

Truly happy — this is definitely the place to get married! We used the package deal as well and I’m really glad we did. And Scott was incredible when it came to working with us and knocking out any last minute bumps (like potentially bad weather — after stressing so much about rain, I think I’m moving to San Diego now!)
Really, you cannot do better. The place does cost a tiny bit of a pretty penny but — compared to lots of other vanilla venues like country clubs — it’s pretty middle of the road for price and, really, you get SO much bang for your buck! The food is great, the staff are wonderful, and — c’mon — you’re getting married in a castle, surrounded by all these wonderful antiques.

We got married here in September 2008 and it was amazing! After picking the vendors and making our selections at each, the staff at Searles coordinated pretty much everything with them. We chose to use a package through Searles and used most of their preferred vendors so I can’t comment on much outside of that. We were lucky to have a beautiful day and the tent sides were put up. For a quick short time it did rain and the power went out, but the staff was quick to fix the problem in a matter of minutes. Even though the music stopped the party never did! The food was great, we did a buffet and our guests really enjoyed it. The day of my wedding I didn’t have to worry about anything except not tripping down the aisle. If I could do it again I wouldn’t change anything! Searles is beautiful, the staff is fantastic and I highly recommend them.

I visited Searles castle in my search for a wedding venue. The castle interior wasn’t what I expected (more like my great aunt’s house than anything) but was well preserved. The reception tent was GORGEOUS and extremely elegant. The gentlemen that we met with (they coordinated the weddings) were both top notch professionals, and you can tell that they have a lot of experience in what they do. This level of professionalism is what made my fiancé and I come back for a second look at the place. We didn’t end up picking it because it didn’t go with the vibe that we were looking for, but it certainly made us think! If you’re looking for castle/​storybook princess wedding– this is the place!!!

I can’t say enough good things about the staff at Searles. Scott, his wife Ali, and Sean, in particular. I met and dealt with all 3 of them throughout my whole wedding planning process, and they were all equally amazing. They are real, down to earth, friendly people, that you can honestly say really care about their clients. I probably emailed them over 1,000 times… okay maybe I’m exaggerating a bit, but it was a lot… and they responded to every single email within a day. And they are SUPER busy up there! All of them were extremely helpful, professional, yet friendly, and it made my experience wonderful. On my wedding day, I couldn’t have asked for it to go any smoother. You rarely see them on the wedding day but somehow they take care of every little thing that needs to be done. Things that you didn’t even think of. But if you have any doubts… one of them even went to the store in the middle of my wedding to buy a pacifier for my very tired and cranky 19 month old daughter because we had lost hers at some point during the busy day! Now that’s service! Everything went so smoothly and I really give ALL of the credit to the staff at Searles Castle. Besides the staff, the venue is GORGEOUS, both inside and out. The tent is beautiful inside, and the castle itself is also beautiful, and well cared for. We got to use the bridal and grooms suites which provided a backdrop for amazing pictures too. The food was great, and all of my guests had rave reviews about their food, the staff, and the location. Everything was perfect!
