Oheka Castle in NY 11743, open June–October.
Guests arrive at a 109-room Gilded Age mansion on the Gold Coast, where limestone facades and manicured gardens set the stage before they step inside.
The castle's grand halls, ornate ballrooms, and oceanfront terraces create multiple settings for ceremony and celebration, while on-site accommodations mean your guests can linger and recover without the drive home.
Every detail, from the sweeping staircase to the private beach access, becomes part of how attendees experience your wedding.
Didn’t stay at the hotel, but went for the tour and restaurant. Tour guide was excellent, very friendly, and informative. Her name was Vicky I think. Was interesting to hear the countless movies filmed at this palace. And the fact that some of these walls are 2 feet thick. Insane! The restaurant also had a great atmosphere. It was busy, of course, in the afternoon, but the waiters were kind and polite. I got the Eggs Benedict for brunch and it was delicious. The chocolate torte afterwards for dessert was also very sweet but worth it. For $38, the price isn’t too bad for such a luxurious looking place. Overall, this place is genuinely perfect for visiting and taking pictures. People here are so nice. This guy standing by the valet parking even offered to take a picture of me and my friends - and it turned out great!! 100% recommend for people who like mansions, history, good food, and just experiencing a wealthy lifestyle lol.

The venue accommodates 20 to 150 guests depending on the space and setup configuration you choose.
Is outdoor ceremony weather-dependent?+
Outdoor spaces are available, but the castle offers multiple indoor ballrooms as backup options. Most packages include contingency planning with the event team.
