1. Oheka Castle — Huntington, New York

French Château · Up to 300 guests

One of the most iconic vintage wedding venues in America — a breathtaking 1919 French château on 23 acres of formal gardens on Long Island’s Gold Coast. Built between 1914 and 1919 for banker Otto Hermann Kahn, the castle features soaring ballrooms, a sunken French garden, and grounds that have featured in Taylor Swift’s Blank Space video. The in-house catering team and multiple ballroom configurations make this one of the most complete and logistically seamless historic estate venues in the country.

2. Hammond Castle — Gloucester, Massachusetts

Medieval Castle · Up to 200 guests

A genuinely extraordinary venue — a 1920s medieval castle built on the rocky coastline of Gloucester, MA, with ocean views, a Romanesque courtyard, a Great Hall, and a collection of Medieval and Renaissance artifacts. Built by inventor John Hammond Jr. to echo European medieval architecture, this is one of the very few authentic-feeling castle wedding venues in the United States. The combination of ocean drama, medieval stone, and the extraordinary interiors creates photographs unlike anything available at a conventional venue.

One of the most atmospheric and genuinely immersive vintage wedding venues on the East Coast: guests stay on the property, eat together, and inhabit the Gilded Age world of the estate for the entire weekend. It feels less like a venue hire and more like a private house party from another century.

Best for: Weekend-long celebrations · Intimate weddings where the whole experience matters as much as the ceremony

Italian Estate · Up to 350 guests

An Italian-inspired estate in Montverde, Florida — Tuscan architecture, a grand fountain entrance, formal reflection pool, and grounds that transport guests entirely to the Italian countryside.
