From the planning process to the big day, the staff at Searles Castle were amazing. The bridal party was delayed by almost an hour the day of the wedding (because our limo broke down) and Scott and Shaun managed to keep things moving along like there were no issues at all. In fact, many of the guests didn't even realize we were late! We had a British-themed wedding (so the castle setting was perfect) and asked if we could have fish & chip cups as an appetizer during cocktail hour. While it wasn't on their normal menu they not only agreed to do it, but made the most adorable, great tasting app ever and even thought to include little bottles of malt vinegar when serving them, which is how the dish is served in England! Dinner was delicious and we received many compliments on it and the sparkler send-off at the end of the evening was absolutely beautiful. They also kept us on time to be able to have the send-off as they watched the forecast and made sure we were lined-up before it started... Read more down-pouring. After the guests had left we realized so did our transportation, but Scott was right there offering to personally drive us to our hotel down the street. When we went back the next day, Shaun stayed just so we could pick up our things from the night before without a complaint, even though he had a pool party to go to. We cannot say enough about Searles Castle and wouldn't have wanted our wedding anywhere else!

Shaun has been beyond amazing to work with. He is very quick to reply to an email (and I send 1 every time I have a question!!). We've been able to take several tours of the castle and enjoy a menu tasting. I HIGHLY recommend Searles Castle to anyone. Not only is it a castle (which is special in itself), you're treated as if you're royalty by the staff. They've been beyond outstanding - worthy of a 10 star review, but earning 100 stars.

I can't say enough good things about this venue. We worked with Shaun, who is just amazing at his job. Anything and everything we needed or wanted was taken care of. They allowed us to postpone due to COVID-19 and followed all safety protocols, making us and our guests feel very comfortable. The castle and grounds are absolutely stunning. This is such a special and beautiful place to get married.

Shaun and the staff of NEC Events to the rescue! After the original wedding venue canceled, we were lucky enough to find picturesque Searles Castle. In less than two months, they were able to create the perfect and elegant wedding for our son and daughter-in-law. From start to finish, Shaun was on top of every detail. His willingness to meet us on our schedule and accommodate our special requests proved that it was fate that brought us to the castle. The staff coordinated the entire day taking all the pressure off the bridal party and our family. We highly recommend Searles Castle to anyone planning their special day.

I seriously cannot begin to put into words how PERFECT our wedding was. From the time we toured Searles to the morning we picked up our decorations the morning after, this team was a dream. I'm a crazy level of detail-oriented and they didn't bat an eye from the many emails and texts I sent in the year we planned our wedding. Super responsive, super helpful and incredibly organized the day of the wedding. I knew I was going to be nervous but somehow it was alleviated with how calm they were all weekend. They set everything up, steamed our dresses, handled vendor deliveries and packaged it up in a nice easy clean-up to go. Not to mention our guests were blown away with how cool the castle was! All around perfect. You won't regret a wedding at Searles Castle!

We chose to go with Searles based on our wedding planner's recommendation, and we are so glad we chose it for our big day. Decor: The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, from the castle to the tent. The tent is already decorated and the decorations are included in the base price for the wedding (compared to another venue that was charging $500 to keep 5 strings of lights that were already up). The castle is lovely for taking pictures, including a turret where you can throw your bouquet. Catering: My husband and I are foodies, and the food at Searles was one of the reasons our planner suggested the venue. They accommodated our request to incorporate Nepali dishes for dinner and apps. Everyone raved about how good the food was! Service: We worked with Shawn throughout the process, and he was absolutely wonderful to work with. He took care of us during the day of the wedding, making sure we had drinks and food as we waited. He also made sure to keep an eye on the satellite images ...

Beautiful venue for the perfect wedding. Just stop looking now and book it, they won't disappoint you.

I cannot say enough great things about Searles Castle!! We got married on 5/4 and the wedding was fantastic! Shaun and Scott are amazing to work with- they walked us through the process (I am not a wedding person AT ALL so I really was clueless) They answered all of my questions and were extremely responsive any time I emailed with yet another question! At no time did they make me feel like like I was bothering them or being demanding, which I appreciate! The day of they had everything set up in the bridal room, brought us champagne & water, and were there to walk us through every step. One of their wives (my apologies- the day was a blur and I’m forgetting her name) helped us coordinate timing for going down the aisle, and even helped my mother with bustling my dress! Service is fantastic here- you never wait for anything and everyone is extremely friendly and professional- all my guests raved about the food- loved both the cocktail hour and dinner. Scott approached me towar... Read moreds the end of the night to see if we wanted to extend the evening a bit and of course we did- everyone was having so much fun! He coordinated with the DJ so I didn’t have to do anything. He also coordinated with us shuttle buses and made sure to have them wait for my mother and I to get changed first and then head to the hotel. The next day we returned to the castle to pick up or decorations and flowers, etc.. and they had everything packed up and ready to go. Our guests raved about the place- if you want a unique setting and top notch service, this is definitely the place to be!

Cant say enough good things about this gorgeous Venue and the amazing folks who work there. Shaun was so kind and professional for the entire process. He absolutely went above and beyond to help make my day absolutely special and perfect. The venue speaks for itself. Is is stunning and even girls Fairytale dream venue. The head chef was incredible kind and accommodating. I am a vegetarian and he nearly insisted I allow him to make a custom dish for me. I loved the existing menu dishes so much I didn't even need to. The staff here are really what makes this the best venue to get married at. If you are on the fence in the venue, please just book. You will not regret it !

My husband and I just had our wedding here two days ago and I wish I could give this place 100 stars. They are simply amazing. If you’re considering doing your wedding with this venue, DO IT. Seriously! Book it now! Booking Searles Castle was the best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process. I’m not exaggerating when I say that a lot of things went wrong with other vendors. But talking ro Shaun the night before my wedding calmed all my nerves and I KNEW everything would be handled without any glitches. The customer service is just better than any I’ve ever had! I am so so so happy! Thank you Searles Castle! I will keep recommending you over and over and over again!! The venue is just gorgeous. But the best part is the staff! You gave me the wedding I always dreamed of (and more!!) -Victoria Beider (now Pina :) )

This was the perfect venue for our wedding. We had 25 people so it was an intimate indoor event. Shaun and Scott made sure everything went off perfectly. The food was exceptional and very much enjoyed by all - even the 3 little kids! I would highly recommend this venue!

We absolutely cannot wait to have our wedding at Searles Castle!

We had an amazing time at our wedding! They were ready, willing and able to accommodate any request we had. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about the food and beautiful castle.

The castles is beautiful but we spent most of the time in the tent. The room to get ready was nicely set up. We had our pictures taken at the pond and when we came back up for our cocktail hour we were rushed into the tent. We got 10 minutes in the castle. Disappointing since that's why we went with this venue. Buyer beware. I requested that since the tent was so big to place the tables by the bar and entrance. Makes sense more money for bar if you are close to it. Nope we were seated all the way on the far end of the tent. We had a small party of 30 people 4 tables and had buffet style. So waiters didn't have to do much . We got our own food and beverages. The 500.00 cake was never served or announced and most of guests never had it including groom. It's was hiding next to the bar on the other side of tent and again not one waiter asked if we wanted it. When I questioned Scott I was told it was eaten. By whom the wait staff who got a 20% gratuity? Nice tip. Then a charge for 300.00 wa... Read mores placed for extra staff. That was not part of original contract. I was told because they needed more waiters for less guests? Interesting. After my objections more than a month and many unanswered calls and emails, I finally received 300.00. Scott did not want to take any responsibility or place any on the waiters. I think I am owed for the cake and the cocktail appetizers that we didn't finish. I think they should have been given to us to go or passed around in the tent until gone. We originally had 31 guests 25 arrived . I saw food left over. I think the thing that ruined the whole experience is the way I was treated after they got my money. I would not recommend unless you have a wedding planner to make sure you get what you need and desire.
