From the moment we arrived, the castle's grandeur and charm took our breath away. The stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains provided a picturesque backdrop that made every photo look like it was straight out of a storybook. The staff at Smithmore Castle were exceptional, attending to every detail with such care and precision that we felt like royalty. The ceremony took place in the beautiful courtyard, where the blooming flowers and elegant statues added a touch of natural beauty to the setting. The gentle sounds of the fountain in the background created a serene and magical atmosphere that set the perfect tone for the day. Inside, the reception was held in the magnificent Great Room, with its marble floors, medieval tapestries, and glittering crystal chandeliers. The three-story granite fireplace was a striking centerpiece that added warmth and a sense of history to the celebration. The castle's chefs prepared a feast that delighted all our guests, blending exquisite flavors with impeccable presentation. The highlight of the evening was when my daughter and her new husband retired to the Royal Tower View Suite. The luxurious accommodations and breathtaking views made for an unforgettable start to their new life together.
