From the reviews
Having our wedding at Sand Castle was the best decision we could have made. From the beginning, Loula and Jamie were there every step of the way to help answer questions as we started planning. We never went more than a few hours before hearing back from them, which was refreshing!
I had the pleasure of working a wedding at Sand Castle as the day-of coordinator, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Working alongside Martin and his team was truly a pleasure — everyone was incredibly attentive, professional, and responsive throughout the day.
Our wedding day was September 20th, 2025 and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. At first we were a little hesitant to check this venue as we are a Latino couple and feared discrimination but from the very beginning, Martin was superb, he reassured us with their assistance planning the wedding would be…
Our friends Jenny and Kevin tied the knot here last weekend, and it was a fantastic event! The outdoor ceremony space was absolutely beautiful. During cocktail hour, we were treated to an excellent variety of delicious food.
Getting married at Sand Castle
Sand Castle comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
