Castle Green

We recently celebrated our wedding at the Castle Green and it was the absolute best! The grounds are so spacious and beautiful and so roomy for our guests. When I decended down the spiral staircase, I felt like a princess in my own fairy tale! The event planner, Shannon Ercek, suggested the caterer, florist, photographer and even answered questions we forgot to ask! She made sure our special day was trouble free by helping us with our preparations well in advance. The Castle holds so much history, it was a privilege to be married there!

I couldn't be happier with the attention that we received from Castle Green. They were so pleasant to deal with and had an answer to every question we could think of to make our reception perfect. A beautiful venue that I will try to use again if I can find an excuse!

We could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding. Castle Green is simply amazing. The decor is very classy, and the grounds are breathtaking. Our guests were blown away! We would recommend anyone to use Castle Green for their wedding!

Castle Green is a beautiful venue - our guests loved it and we did too. The staff there was very pleasant and accommodating throughout the planning process. The logistics are a bit complicated (no kitchen on site) but our caterers had no problems working around the rules set by Castle Green. Our photos were fantastic, thanks to the beautiful gardens.

Simply beautiful! Very affordable compared to other places not nearly as elegant. Everyone was nice and willing to help. The rooms inside make a great place for guests to gather for cocktails, and the ballroom is perfect. This is the best place for a fairy tale wedding.

Castle Green was the perfect place for us. You walk in and step back in time. It was built in the 1880's and the building brings all of that authentic charm and life to the wedding. There are old photos on the walls, a grand staircase, various parlors with endless things to look at, a beautiful sun room, a giant porch that wraps around the building, a pretty fountain and a great classic ball room. Marcela, the contact as Castle Green is easy to work with and a total sweetheart. Every time you talk to her you feel her genuine excitement for you about the wedding, and she works her butt off to make sure you have what you need. She gives great recommendations for vendors and everything went flawlessly for us. We had our wedding on a hot day during the wildfires, but most of the vendors had worked there before and knew just how to handle it all - when to put out the flowers, when to deliver the cake etc. The ballroom is the only air conditioned room, so be forewarned if that's a problem for you. At our wedding nobody even noticed the heat though - the venue was just too interesting to care....and we were all sweaty from the dancing anyhow. The great thing about Castle Green is that nobody will feel trapped in a ball room. There is plenty of space to roam and things to see. We loved it!

This was my ideal wedding venue! The coordinator Shannon Ercek was very sweet and very accommodating. The site is absolutely gorgeous, and the rooms are beautiful. It was a little challenging to get a few questions answered at one point since they had to let some people go at the beginning of the year, but Ms. Ercek always made sure I was completely taken care of. It's actually easier to reach Shannon via email. The cost is actually quite reasonable for how beautiful the site is. When you go in for a tour, ask if they are running any specials… I got an extra half hour free just for booking in the month of October! Just be careful because if it rains, unless you're going to rent a tent, you'll be stuck having to move everything inside and it's the outdoor sites that really make the ceremony beautiful at this place. It is Definitely worth checking this site out.

I am completely happy with our experience with Castle Green. We had an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception. The location is beautiful, no doubt! Photo Ops galore! Marcela was a breeze to work with. She took all my calls, there were a few, with stride. We did choose to use an outside caterer which meant having to pay an additional fee to CG. However we still saved a ton of money because the caterers they recommend were, in my opinion, very over priced. There are quite a bit of rules that must be follwed due to that fact that the location is also a residence. I would and have recommended the location to others, I would just say make sure you really read the contract well and ask any and ALL questions before signing on the dotted line. As with any location you need to know the specifics.Overall this was a dream location. I really have no complaints about our day!Many of our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to!I think that should say it all!

Castle Green is an event professional's DREAM venue! Located in one of the best spots in Old Town Pasadena, the Castle is a truly gorgeous and unique venue! I have referred several brides there and we have had rave reviews from every guest in attendance! The staff and the Events Director, Shannon Ercek were extremely professional and helpful. At the beginning of one wedding, I actually spotted her straightening the pillows on the patio furniture! If that isn't special attention to detail, what is?? It is such an easy venue to work with and you get to chose from four catering companies and are able to bring in your own alcohol! We always do signature drinks on the expansive veranda during the gorgeous cocktail hour where guests are allowed to explore the Salon areas and the gorgeous garden views! Check out some photos on Flickr, you'll fall in love with this historic treasure!

Not sure why these reviews have to be written by the Bride! LOL. My new wife and I had a wonderful wedding recently at Castle Green. We both fell in love with the place the moment we saw it, and new it was the place for us. Was slightly bummed that it was too warm a night (the first of November) to light the big fireplace in the main lounge...but we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day. Marcela is marvelous, and happy memories of the Castle will stay with us forever!

Castle Green was beautiful. The moment my fiance, well now husband, stepped through the doors, we knew it was where we had to be. They treated us very nicely, and understood what we wanted. They are a little strict about things, but it is an historical place and needed to be treated with respect. My guests had an amazing time and every comment I got back was how beautiful the place was.

Castle Green is a lovely Victorian Hotel now converted into private luxury apartments. The former hotel lobby, conservatory, cigar room, solarium, ballroom, and outdoor garden are available to rent for weddings and events. If you are looking for something unique and not the run-of-the-mill wedding location, definitely check this location out. Many movie studios have even used this building for filming locations and you will understand why, the inside is lovely complete with period furnishings!! So not only will your wedding location be rememberable, but so will all your wedding pictures~~~I had an indoor wedding ceremony in the conservatory, in front of one of their many grand fireplaces, and then the reception in the ballroom. The price tag is high, but it's well worth it!!!

Overall, my husband and I loved our experience at Castle Green. On the day of our wedding, Shannon came into the bridal room and asked if I needed anything. I was glad she was on hand just in case. Everything was stunningly beautiful due to the professionalism of all the vendors we hired and the grandness of the place. Most of our vendors had already been to Castle Green which helped because they already knew what to do and what to expect. I truly felt like a princess in my own castle and everyone was working together to make our wedding beautiful!Castle Green is a wonderful place to get married because it has a lot of rich history and architecture. My maid of honor said everyone thought the wedding was beautiful and unique. Originally, my husband and I chose this place because I had fallen in love with the lawn where my ceremony took place. The ballroom was easily transformed into an amazing reception area. The lighting from the chandeliers was perfect. There was a glow in the room which added to the ambiance of the evening.In the end, my husband and I received a small gift along with a thank-you card waiting for us in the bridal room which was a nice touch.I will have memories of my enchanting wedding at Castle Green for years to come! Thank you so much for helping to make my big day so special! :)

Castle Green is a stunning place to have a wedding. The venue provided an on site wedding coordinator who did a great job the day of our wedding. If you are interested in this site for your wedding I highly recommend taking a tour of the facility. The only negative thing I can mention is that there was some street/traffic noise during our ceremony but that was expected since the ceremony site is right next to a main street. Other than that everything was top notch.

This is a beautiful venue! I loved my pictures and I loved the uniqueness that my wedding had! These people were great to work with. The only problem I had was that I was asked to allow people in the main hall who were filming on the top floor, use the elevator, but they worked with me on this and we did not have to accommodate them. I love the fact that you can have a ballroom as well as the other entry rooms for appetizers and such. It was just great! They aren't that flexible in terms of allowing you to spend a lot of time beforehand taking pictures, but we got a good 3 hours at the location to get ready and everything. A WONDERFUL SITE!!!

We had our wedding reception at the Castle and it was absolutely beautiful! The outside grounds are perfect for taking pictures. The only thing we were not to fond of was that it was an extremely hot day and even with the AC on the ball room was WAY too hot! Not sure if the instalation is not up to code or what, but it honestly felt like we didn't even have an AC on. If it wasn't for that our day would have been just perfect! Castle Green truly is a beautiful place and I would recommend it to others, Marcela was very helpful and always took my calls and answered all of our questions. The only thing I would say is if you're going to get married here make sure it's not during a really hot time of the year, we got married in late September and the weather still was too hot for the quality of AC the Ballroom has.

The locations was very nice. I experienced some difficulty getting in touch with them, but other than that they were very helpful and a pleasure to work with. the location was beautiful and our wedding turned out amazing.

The outside of Castle Green has beautiful green lawn and the pond/fountain is very pretty. The historic structure is very majestic. It's excellent for wedding photographs. However, the traffic noise really bothered us, especially on a busy Saturday afternoon in Old Town Pasadena area. We could hear the bus drove by and the helicopter in the air. Besides the uncontrolable issues, everything else was great. The facility has a lot restrictions like to food and beverage in the carpet area. It was very challenging for our ushers and wedding coordinator. We put signs up, but many of our guests ignored the signs. So our ushers and coordinator have to inform our guests several times. I guess in order to maintain the historic building, this is something we have to suffer.

Castle Green is an amazing venue. We had our wedding ceremony and reception there. Both were held outdoors. It was beautiful. The events coordinator was very responsive to all of our questions and got back to us in a timely manner. If you are thinking of having your wedding there I would highly recommend it. My only thing that I didn't care for too much for was that the bathrooms were inaccessible to those that are disabled and that there were only a few stall available. Other than that, I think it is an amazing place to have a wedding!!!!PS if you do end up having you wedding there, be sure that the DJ stops playing the music a few mins before your rental ends. otherwise, residents @ castle green get pretty cranky and you will get charged even if you are a min. after your rental is over.

I had my wedding here on December 10, 2006. I thought it was a great location - very unique. The staff was sometimes frustrating to communicate with (thus the three stars), but overall I would highly recommend Castle Green. My pictures came out beautiful - just a lovely and unique location capturing the charm of Pasadena.
