    I had the immense pleasure of getting married at Smithmore Castle during the enchanting winter season, and I can confidently say it was a truly magical experience deserving of a full five stars. From the moment we arrived, the castle exuded an air of timeless elegance and charm, wrapped in a pristine blanket of snow that made the entire setting feel like a fairy tale. The grandeur of Smithmore Castle is matched only by the warmth and professionalism of the staff. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, allowing us to focus on celebrating our love. The ceremony took place in the castle's stunning great hall, which was beautifully adorned with winter-themed decorations. The roaring fireplace added a cozy ambiance, making the atmosphere both romantic and intimate. The castle’s historic architecture provided a breathtaking backdrop for our vows, creating memories that we will cherish forever. Our reception was equally spectacular. The dining experience was exceptional, with a gourmet menu that delighted all of our guests. The castle’s chef crafted a winter feast that was both elegant and delicious, catering to all dietary preferences with ease. The staff's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the meal, from the beautifully set tables to the exquisite presentation of each dish. The accommodations at Smithmore Castle are nothing short of luxurious. Our bridal suite was a haven of comfort and style, offering stunning views of the snow-covered grounds. Our guests were equally impressed with their rooms, each uniquely decorated and equipped with modern amenities while maintaining the castle’s historic charm.

    As the mother of the bride, I can genuinely say that my daughter's spring wedding at Smithmore Castle was nothing short of a fairytale. 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. Smithmore Castle exceeded all our expectations, creating memories that we will cherish forever. It was truly a fairytale wedding come to life.
