WEDDING AT WHITBY CASTLE

WEDDING AT WHITBY CASTLE

Whitby Castle in Rye, NY is a wedding venue with elegance and old-world charm. Perched atop a hill overlooking a lush golf course, this historic home transports couples and their guests to a realm of enchantment and romance.

With its ivy-covered walls, towering turrets, and manicured gardens, Whitby Castle provides a picturesque backdrop for couples to exchange vows and embark on their journey together. Whether bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun or illuminated by twinkling lights under the starry night sky, every moment at Whitby Castle feels like a scene from a fairy tale.

This couple added their Irish traditions into a wedding day that was full of love, heart and a ton of fun.

Enjoy their wedding story.
