Another fabulous castle is Ravenwood Castle, located in New Plymouth, Ohio (approx an hour south east of Columbus). It was inspired by 12th and 13th century castles of England and Wales. http://www.ravenwoodcastle.com/
Ooh, adding! 🙂
I had no idea there were so many castles in the states! Heart eyes all over that.
Right? You’d never know there were so many!
My sister is getting married this summer at Dunafon Castle in Idledale, CO. It’s a very nice venue.
I came just to make sure Squire’s Castle was on the list — I’m also glad Jean mentioned Ravenwood, too! YAY OHIO
So many beautiful castles! My fiance and I were going to choose a castle but went with an Anglo-Saxon barn instead. We are spoilt for castles in the UK, these are just some of the great ones:

A word of caution to anyone planning a castle wedding, make sure you clearly understand the rules regarding tourists. I say this because we witnessed a wedding taking place at Boldt Castle in NY because we happened to be touring it at the time. That castle does not close down for weddings so along with the invited guests the bride and groom had a couple hundred strangers watching their wedding as well! Just something to keep in the back of your mind when planning!
