Ceremony

Summer Wedding River Casual
From its very conception Boldt Castle’s historic halls and grounds were filled with romance. Built in 1900 by George Boldt as a tribute to the love he felt for his wife Louise, today it remains a testament to their enduring love story. Surrounding the 19th century home are numerous gardens containing thousands of flowers as well as several stone structures of the same era, including the Gazebo, Alster Tower, Dove-Cote and the Powerhouse. Ceremonies are located at the Dove-Cote, allowing couples to make a grand entrance out of Boldt Castle. This section of the grounds, commonly called the courtyard, also overlooks the St. Lawrence River from three directions. The Dove-cote, also known as The Hennery, was the first structure George Boldt had built in 1895. It orginally was built to house his collection of fancy fowl and exotic birds. It is located to the northeast, "downriver" end of the Heart Island and has become the location for wedding ceremonies.
