WOW what can I say. It was the most beautiful venue for the best day of my life. I had so much fun and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Allison and Sara at Terrain were great. I had no problems with communication and they asked me all the questions that I hadn't even thought about. They kept me on track and it was a pleasure working with them. My family has not stopped raving about how much fun they had and how beautiful this venue was. They also loved the food and the cocktail hour appetizers. It was a nice intimate wedding and I couldn't have dreamed it to be any better than it already was. The decorations were done in house by Terrain Design and It was perfect. Everything I had pictured in my mind from the bouquet to the decorations for the receptions, it was absolutely stunning. I only wish to do it all over again. Thank you so much.

We could not have asked for a better experience at Bellevue. We knew Bellevue was perfect for us because the park held a lot of memories, and the mansion is so stunning and full of history. There are so many beautiful locations for photos and we loved that our cocktail hour could be inside and outside. The reception tent allows for you to see the park/greenery and horses, which creates a beautiful atmosphere. The food was great, and everyone loved the bartenders, and the fun surprise Barbie drink was so cute! We were so grateful for the cocktail hour food in the dressing room and the desserts ready at our sweetheart table. Also, the food wrapped up at the end of the night! Those were all very sweet touches! We truly appreciate all of the effort the team put into our day, it was so magical! Thank you!

We fell in love with Castle Farm the second we started touring it. Not only is it a stunning venue at every turn, but Catherine and Darren are incredible; Catherine told us everything we needed to know, even things you may not think of immediately. She answered any questions we had promptly, even in the chaos of wedding season, and she helped us with setting up our reception area when there was a miscommunication with other vendors, because she “refused to let us work on our wedding day.” Castle Farm is way more than just a gorgeous venue. You are a part of that family once you’re there and we are forever grateful that we got to experience the beauty of the property, and work with such amazing people.

Stokesay Castle

4.8

Reading, PA
  • Up to 350 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Whether you're going out for dinner or saying "I do", our castle is the perfect place for you. Built in 1931 and inspired by a 13th century English castle by the same name, Stokesay Castle was once the vacation home of the Hiester Family. Mr. Hiester spared no expense when it came to the 10 acre property he built for his fiancé. Local building materials and craftsmen were used, and great care was exercised in duplicating hand-carved beams, and leaded windows. Our owner, Jack Gulati had fond memories of Stokesay Castle and rescued it in March of 2009, from almost certain deprecation. Mr. Gulati dedicated millions to the restoration of the Castle, Ballroom and surrounding grounds. Upgrading much of the plumbing, electric and other amenities have left Stokesay in a memorable, yet modernized state. The vaulted cathedral ceilings still loom over the Lord’s Dining Room, only now there is a view into Stokesay Castle’s newest addition, The Knight’s Pub.

We have worked at and attended many events at Stokesay, great space and highly recommended!

We had our wedding at Hotel du Village on November 17, 2023 and it was absolutely perfect. We booked Hotel du Village because it felt so unique and special - and that is exactly how our guests felt. The venue gives such a romantic vibe, and our vision was able to be executed perfectly from our outdoor ceremony at dusk, to dinner and dancing in both ballrooms. The staff at Hotel du Village was incredible, especially on the day of the wedding. We did not have to worry about a thing. My bridal attendant went so above and beyond for us, making sure we had water and food throughout the whole day, that we liked our signature drinks and that we had enough to eat during cocktail hour. The staff and bartenders were also amazing - so friendly and attentive with all of our guests the whole night. Our guests are still talking about how amazing all of the food was. We had our guests stay on site at the hotel as well as the guest house on site and I would highly recommend both. It was so much fun to have our closest friends and family on site leading up to the wedding and the morning after. Overall my husband and I would not change a thing about our wedding day and cannot recommend Hotel du Village enough!
