The Little Details for Your Big Day
Our No Venue Fee Promise
We don’t charge you another hundred or thousand dollar fee like other venues just to rent the physical space of the ballroom. We simply don’t believe in it. It’s unheard of in the industry, and we’re proud of this promise.
Dedicated Wedding Specialist
Teamwork makes the dream work. Our team of specialists will be there for you every step of the way. They’ll think of things you never thought of and make your wedding day everything you dreamed of and more.
Customized Menus
We don’t use the word Wedding “Packages” because we simply don’t have them. We want YOU to customize YOUR day. We don’t have set packages because we know every couple has different tastes, different visions and different budgets. You’re not a cookie-cutter couple. So why would we sell you on a cookie-cutter package? You decide what you want to offer for appetizers, entrees, late night stations and more. We’re here to help guide you, but not decide for you.
Unique Environment
We know the importance of celebrating with family and friends that’s safe and stress-free. We’re a resort-style environment with a full service spa-salon on-site to accommodate your wedding day needs. Have time in-between your ceremony and reception? Guests can enjoy the views of Seneca Lake from our Stonecutters Tavern while sipping a cold one. When the evenings over, our wedding room blocks allow your guests to stay under one roof. It’s all here.
Belhurst Weddings
Hear From Our Couples
This place is literally picture perfect. Everyone on the staff was so attentive, kind, helpful, and friendly not only to us as the bride and groom but everybody that attended our wedding. If there was anything that anyone needed it was taken care of without a second thought. Sharon their wedding/event coordinator was so wonderful. She was very attentive with her quick responses to emails with questions or concerns about planning our big day. She provided a lot of great ideas on how to make everything come together. Morgan who is the day of coordinator was absolutely spectacular. She made us feel noticed and appreciated. She was very thorough with her check-ins to make sure that we were doing okay and that we had everything we needed to be comfortable while also enjoying our wedding. Particularly love she thought to set aside appetizers for us to enjoy as we were talking during our cocktail hour. She made sure that our day went off without a hitch and everything was perfect.
All of our guests were raving about the food, particularly the salmon. And could not get over how beautifully everything had been set up. If you are looking for the perfect place to have a castle fairy tale wedding look no further you found it!
Sharon and Morgan were our guides throughout the process at Belhurst, and they were extremely attentive and helpful. They were responsive via e-mail, and did whatever they could to give us the best wedding day possible – one example is helping to customize our bar offerings with signature cocktails and a particular choice of spirits. The ceremony on the lawn, with the lake in the background, and the Meritage ballroom proved to be stunning venues for the day. We had some initial hesitations about Belhurst running two weddings per day, but on our wedding day we hardly knew there was another event happening – they were able to keep them pretty much fully separate. The service and food (hors d’oeuvres, entrees, and late night pizza) were all fantastic and received rave reviews from our guests. It was very convenient to host the whole wedding weekend at Belhurst, which is what we were looking for – accommodations, ceremony, and reception – as well as being able to hang out at Stonecutter’s and around the fire pit – all in one place. Staff at Belhurst provided some particular items in support of our day, which was nice (for example, stands for our desserts). They had great recommendations to provide to us for vendors that they have worked with well. Our wedding at Belhurst was everything we had hoped for and more!
Our wedding reception at Belhurst Castle was everything we could have hoped for and more! The wedding team was extremely attentive and personable – it truly felt like they sincerely cared about our day! Sharon and Morgan in particular were phenomenal. They took the time to really listen to what we wanted for our wedding reception and answered our many questions without hesitation. They accommodated our food tasting on my husband’s birthday and it was a very special day for both of our families. Leading up to the big day, we felt at ease knowing they had everything handled. Morgan even packed us a to-go bag of food for after the reception, which we greatly appreciated. Our family and friends continue to tell us how much they enjoyed our wedding and how beautiful Belhurst Castle was for our reception venue. They also continue to tell us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding reception! It was a magical night and we could not be more grateful for the staff at Belhurst Castle. We will definitely be back for anniversaries to come!

Our guests were blown away by the beautiful setting and smooth execution.
