Weddings at Grey Towers Castle
Grey Towers Castle, completed in 1893, is on the register of National Historic Landmarks. Completed by famed architect, Horace Trumbauer, Grey Towers Castle was inspired by Alnick Castle in England. The interior, however, showcases Trumbauer's eclectic style, with a selection of various French influences ranging from the Renaissance through the age of Louis XV. As you enter into the Grand Hall, the views are spectacular. Wedding ceremonies and receptions are showcased in this beautiful space. However, receptions can also be held in the Rose and Mirror Rooms, both of which are air-conditioned and can hold up to 175 people for a sit down reception. Grey Towers Castle is available for weddings and receptions from mid-May until the first Saturday in August. Information on Alcohol Guidelines.
