My wife and I booked Castle Green for October 1, 2016 for our wedding. We went through several venues in the area, Lankham, Hilton, and other hotels/banquet halls, but they were either too plain or too expensive or restricted us to use THEIR catering company and vendors. We ended up with Castle Green because it just looks so rustic and beautiful, inside and out. It's over 100 years old and is a historical landmark. FYI, book it early as they do fill up fast and they pretty much are booked EVERY Saturday. Plus the venue is nice enough to do our bridal party pictures, ceremony, AND reception in one place. Upstairs are apartments in which tenants live...so they do have some restrictions in loud music, how late you can stay, appointments to visit venue, etc...But good thing about them, you can have the ENTIRE first floor, including the lobby, ballroom, turkish/moorish room, sunroom, patios, foye, and large yard. This is great if you have a lot of people and kids (we had 200 adults and 30 kids). We worked with Dior, the director, and Danielle, one of her assistants. They were so accommodating for us, as strict as the venue can sound. They worked with us continuously to help us move the wedding along. But be warned, they do have things due a month before, a week before, etc...which is a long checklist of things to do or show to the venue. So stay on top of things and do things EARLY. Both Dior and Danielle are super friendly and helpful and extremely approachable. THey let us visit the venue at our convenience when we needed to show vendors, our parents, etc. They even will allow us, after the wedding, to bring my wife's Grandma to come to the venue to see it as she was too sick to make it for our Oct 1 date. Come wedding time, they provided a venue supervisor to make sure everything is being followed, including the timeline, and to make sure we don't break any of the venue's requirements. We were allowed in at 1:30pm and had to be out at 10:30pm (vendors at 11:30pm for cleanup), otherwise an $800 overtime charge per hour would have been charged. I wish they extended their hours but it makes sense cause of tenants living upstairs. Venue was gorgeous after the ceiling swags, the uplighting, and all the decorations. We all had a good time and I'm going to miss this venue. We're thinking of doing our 1 year anniversary here but it's quite a bit of money. The yearly tours may have to suffice for now :) In summary, this is a GREAT place for a wedding or event. It's a hidden gem in old town Pasadena, close to everything, especially the bars and food! They treat you extremely well and walk you through everything. They do get behind in emails sometimes, so I recommend calling if you need something ASAP. PS, I recommend you using their valet, catering vendors
