Berkeley Springs Castle

On a hill above Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, stands the Samuel Taylor Suit Cottage, often known as Berkeley Castle or Berkeley Springs Castle. Beginning in 1885, Colonel Samuel Taylor Suit of Washington, D.C. built the castle-like mansion as a personal hideaway near the spa town.

The inside contains a ballroom that is 50 feet (15.2 meters) wide and 40 feet (12.2 meters) long. The design is credited to Alfred B. Mullett, a Washington architect who is said to have drawn a crude sketch of the layout on a tablecloth at the Berkeley Springs Hotel. Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom, may have influenced the design. Snowden Ashford, who created Washington's Eastern Market, apprenticed for Mullett, and is also credited as an architect, was in charge of the detailed design and construction supervision.

On her wedding day, every bride will feel like royalty at Berkeley Springs Castle. As she climbs the big staircase into the large hall for an intimate ceremony, all eyes will be on her. Guests can enjoy refreshments in the side yard after the vows while the staff prepares the venue for the celebration. A small bar area with a piano is located just off the main hall and can be used to play music throughout the cocktail hour and catered dinner. A wedding at Berkeley Springs Castle is a once-in-a-lifetime experience thanks to the fantasy ambience and helpful personnel.
