    Bonaparte Castle was the perfect venue for our wedding welcome party! From the moment we first reached out, their communication was quick, personable, and attentive. Sandra and Chad went above and beyond to ensure our special day was seamless - Sandra helped set up all of our food and decorations the day of, and even provided some of her own to make the space absolutely stunning and welcoming. Chad made sure the bar ran smoothly and checked on our guests throughout the night. The full service tavern area and outdoor space provided plenty of room to accommodate all of our guests, and we even got to enjoy the beautiful outdoor fire pit! The quality of their work and value was truly unmatched - Bonaparte Castle provided a one-of-a-kind, unique experience that our guests are still raving about. We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding day!

    I held my son and his now wife’s reception here in Sept 2024. You will not find a better person to work with than Sandra. She has the best idea’s and will help make your event special and perfect. The Bonaparte castle is a must see to appreciate its beauty. Her way of putting ideas together with your own brings her event space to life. Not only are the renovating a castle but they have a great outdoor space including a fire pit. There is a small tavern that can be used for that very purpose. I am holding my own wedding and reception here next Oct and couldn’t be more excited to work with her again. Please enjoy my photos.

  • Best please for your event

    Bonaparte Castle was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, the staff was really good and friendly in their communication with us. They were really accessible and went above and beyond to ensure our special day was flawless. The venue itself is a very nice place, with an amazing staff and the owner was incredibly friendly. Everything was simply perfect - we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
