F.A.Q.
Here are the details about Castle Waterford, inside and out, for planning purposes by brides, wedding planners and vendors.
Castle Waterford’s Appearance
Exterior Décor
Castle Waterford is decorated with four turrets, a crenulated roof line, a drawbridge entry, artistically created exterior brickwork, and three exit doors hand-decorated with a rustic castle theme.
Grounds
Castle Waterford is located at a private residence, which is a replica Irish castle. This castle and the castle-themed event center are framed by mature trees.
The private, wooded Enchanted Forest Trail runs behind the event center, available for stunningly beautiful bridal photos during the cocktail hour.
A pack of pedigreed llamas live in the castle barn and play in the field that is visible to wedding guests. A heart-shaped pond sits between the castle-themed event center and the replica castle.
Interior Décor
Castle Waterford features ten picture windows facing a replica Irish castle. The venue’s walls are artistically decorated with stone, while the floor has a hand-etched wood look.
Five chandeliers in a row are installed down the center of the venue. The shape of these chandeliers is reminiscent of a Tutor rose and match the wall sconces.

Chandeliers
The center of The Venue is lined with five chandeliers in a shape reminiscent of a Tutor rose.

Deposit Amount
To reserve Castle Waterford for a particular date, the Bride will pay The Venue a deposit equal to one-quarter of The Venue’s total rental fee, which for 2020 is $1,700. This deposit amount is non-refundable, because it removes The Bride’s chosen date from The Venue’s calendar. If The Bride desires to reschedule her wedding date after she has paid her deposit, then a new deposit is required to hold that date exclusively for The Bride.
