This venue was everything we could have dreamed of and more! From being able to have our guests stay with us for the weekend and our dog be a part of the wedding to finding amazing vendors at their vendor fair and of course the most wonderful hosts Carolyn and Robin! They were always there to answer any questions and make sure our day was perfect!! They allowed multiple walk throughs with our vendors and were always so beyond kind and helpful. The venue is STUNNING!! I wish I could relive this weekend a thousand times over. Thank you so much for hosting us and giving us the wedding of our dreams

The Bride's House was so accommodating for all the get ready tasks. The Groom's House was perfect for the guys to get ready and secluded from the Bride. Carolyn's suggested vendors were spot on. Everything went so smoothly and all 100+ of our guests raved about how beautiful L&O is !! Highly recommend Lavender and Olive It's Family run and they are very accommodating and easy to work with.

The ceremony was held under some tall trees which was perfect since it was a bit warm, even though it was 5pm already. The dinner was a buffet of salad, potatoes, short ribs and chicken parmesan. I wish I had taken two servings of short ribs and skipped the chicken parm. The short ribs were juicy, so tender and just falling apart with my fork. Excellent, especially for a buffet meal at a wedding. The place is really cool and if you are considering having an event in the future, check the Castle out. HAVE FUN!!

This change came late in the process, after we had begun planning. Communication was inconsistent & the situation was handled very unprofessionally by both the caterer & the general manager. We were also informed the GM actually contacted another venue to make inquiries about our possible booking & run a background on our event coordinator. While this venue advertises hosting outside events, in our experience the room was withdrawn after initial confirmation in favor of others. This was especially significant as the gathering was planned for a senior veteran. Based on our experience, we highly suggest exploring other venues in the area that were much more respectful and professional.

I'm glad this place gives me the space to do that. I want to go back to try different dishes and wines, browse the shops, and save room for dessert! Perhaps I will come on a Friday since they have a farmer's market that day from 9am-1 pm! I had a date night and went on a Saturday, 2 hours before closing. We ordered Calabrese Pizza, Apple & Gorgonzola Pizza, Parmesan Fries, and Rigatoni & Vodka Sauce Pasta. My goodness, everything was GOOD! The Apple & Gorgonzola Pizza was my favorite, pure perfection of flavors. I know there's always a debate with pineapple on pizza but this apple and gorgonzola makes sense, I don't think anyone would ever question it. The parmesan fries was so yummy as well, you get a HEFTY amount. We actually didn't finish a good amount and took this home along with a few slices of pizza. Pasta was delicious as well, there was leftover pasta sauce that we just scooped up with the crust of the pizza. The ambience - amazing and beautiful. It is pretty spread out. I've only been here a couple times but I was able to find a table both times aside from the good amount of people the times I've came. We sat inside the tasting room and the food came out promptly. I do love that on hot days they will turn their misters on, great touch Way to keep us cool! We decided to do the Traditional Wine Tasting where you get six 1.5 oz pours of your choice for $32. Also, you can get free chocolate to pair with your wine at the dessert shop. Delicious, everything I ordered was what I needed. Everyone here just seems incredibly nice. From the people who took your order at the Kitchen, food runners, pourers, even the lady at the dessert shop (even though we didn't get any dessert lol) was friendly. We wanted to get dessert, but we had 15 minutes left till closing, however she didn't rush us out the outside area. I saw that there was a sugar free pistachio gelato flavor. I love that, seems like it was a hit because it was nearly all out! Next time I do go, I definitely want to try that and their cannolis!!! I love Cannolis. Anyways, back to the wine tasting, I believe her name is Cecilia (?), She was great. Great service along with the other pourer at the counter. I did not catch her name but she has blonde short hair and was very nice and friendly as well! Overall, 10/10, & I will be back very soon.
