About

On WeddingWire since 2009

Castle McCulloch in Jamestown, North Carolina is a historic wedding venue with an otherworldly charm. This site was initially erected in 1832 and is now included on the National Historic Monument registry. The design was intended to reflect that of European castles, which now gives it a storied look. Walking up to the castle, you cross over a drawbridge for a stately and grand entrance. Inside, you can find large, circular chandeliers constructed from wrought-iron and rich, wood floors nestled underneath. These medieval details lend themselves to a sophisticated look, for a wedding of historic proportions.

Facilities and Capacity

This place of storybook romance possesses a number of rooms that are suitable for a range of party sizes. In the largest, the Crystal Garden Ballroom, up to 300 individuals can be accommodated for a resplendent event. Grecian and French architectural elements grace the layout of this magnificent and lofty space. Adjacent is the Hillside Terrace, which provides an exterior patio area for smaller receptions and ceremonies alike. Waterfront views and elegant pairings of glass and slate details mark the Queen’s Chambers, which can hold up to 80 loved ones. If neither of these event locations are to your liking they additionally have the Great Hall, aptly named as it boasts storybook archways and furnishings. Sit down to a banquet dinner with 85 guests in this spacious, historic, yet contemporarily outfitted room.

Perfect for a Scottish Wedding!

If you’re in the southeast and looking for a smaller castle venue for your wedding, look no further! They have multiple ceremony and reception locations to choose from on the property and multiple packages, including all-inclusive, to choose from so you can have your dream wedding. We chose the Great Hall and Queen’s Chamber and it was the perfect backdrop for our Scottish wedding. Dark and moody, it set the stage for an intimate ceremony illuminated with the bright reds in our tartans. Ashellee was our coordinator and you won’t find a more fun, accommodating, and friendly person! She offered amazing suggestions for our reception and I’m so thankful! I can’t remember the name of the young lady that tan herself ragged the day of the wedding trying to make sure things were just-so, especially with the large amount of decorating that needed to be done and taken down. Our bartender Tevin was a warm and kind addition to our day. We chose the a la carte option so we could decorate our own way. Our friends and family traveled from multiple states because they were so excited, not only for us, but for the venue. Thank you to the entire staff for making our day a fantasy wedding come true!
