Cuisine

The menu options can accomodate many dietary needs, and draw influences from American, Mediterranean, Island, and Asian cuisines. Couples can choose from a plated, family, or buffet-style service.

History
The castle was built in 1860 by Augustus Beardslee by Irish and Swiss masons. During its long history, the castle survived two major fires in the 20th century. After the second fire destroyed much of the kitchen, the space was left vacant for three years. In 1994, the current owners purchased and renovated it to its former glory.

Location
Beardslee Castle is located just off the New York State thruway. It has a perfect central location, as it is less than hour’s drive from Albany, and just over an hour from Syracuse.

Freindly Staff, Stunning Location

The location was stunning. I was greeted by staff while waiting for my meeting. Given a tour of the Castle and grounds. Went over what exactly I was looking for. I was given a proposal on the spot. Lynn has been wonderful about answering questions I forgot to ask.

Fairy Tale Wedding

This venue was our first choice, I've been there before, but my husband has not. The second we booked with Beardslee Castle, Lynn the star of the show! she made sure our day was nothing short of amazing. I did not need to hire a wedding coordinator. The staff, food, atmosphere, everything was just so amazing.
