I attended a May wedding there recently; it was a lovely setting and a beautiful property. Wish I could have caught a view from the observation deck, but that was locked. More

We recently attended a wedding here. The ceremony was lovely, as was the setting, and the couple had made a point of saying families with children were welcome. It soon became clear, however, that Ray, who I believe is the proprietor, does not welcome children on the property. At the informal reception, when a group of kids started a harmless... More

I just want to say that the hosts, especially John, made my Wife and My 40th Anniversary a very special stay. We had some special arrangements we wanted that were prepared and arranged just as requested. We would recommend Castle Unicorn for any special occasion. Just let them know what you want and it will be provided. We want to... More

Be VERY judicious in choosing this place as a wedding venue. We had a wedding here this past June and while generally pleased, overall we felt terribly overcharged for the food which was of VERY poor quality. Additionally the service was tacky and substandard. We wanted our own caterer and was informed they have their preferred vendor whom we had... More

We replaced the caterer referenced towards the end of our last wedding season. Unfortunately this was a newer catering company that we entrusted and they did not live up to our expectations either. We now offer several well established caterers with many years of experience and great reputations for the high quality of their food and we are very excited... More

We had our dream wedding planned for this place and if it were up to the two owners, it would never have happened. It started when they called and told us before we booked a caterer for 350 people to give them a look and see what they had to offer - since they didn't have a food manager when... More

We appreciate the opportunity to provide readers with another viewpoint and insight. We really feel that readers will benefit from the following which we feel more accurately addresses accusations cited in the reviewers negative remarks that was such a surprise to us all here at Castle Unicorn. Regardless of frustrations related to the catering concerns, our contract clearly states at... More

I made our reservation to celebrate my 16 year old's birthday. He loves fencing and we thought this "castle" would be just the thing. Strange "stuck in the 80s" decor. Dust so thick on the furniture we could write our name in it. Broken down mattress. Torn decor pillows. One foot high step up to toilet. Dusty, uncovered plastic drinking... More

Fabulous wedding venue with several location options, inside and out. Owners made us feel so at home, were so helpful and accommodating, I would highly recommend the Castle for a special event or a special getaway. Beautiful location and unique decor made us feel like royalty. More

Great place to get away from it all and relax. The grounds are amazing, and anyone with a loved one that likes to live like a queen or pirncess should check this place out. More

This is a charming place, with warm and accommodating owners. The rooms are luxurious and the grounds breathtaking. I stayed two nights and wished I’d arranged to stay longer. If someone had a bad experience, I'm sure there was a reason. I will go back—soon I hope More
