Whitby Castle boasts a striking similarity to the details of the original Whitby Abbey in England, including some of the original Abbey stones. Set on 126 acres in Rye, New York, Whitby Castle is conveniently located, yet seemingly worlds away. Perfectly manicured lawns, breathtaking views of the Long Island Sound, a grandiose ballroom, plus two private reception rooms offer the perfect backdrop for any size affair. No matter the reason for the gathering, you will find a setting to match at Whitby Castle.

  • Whitby Castle is an absolutely amazing wedding venue! From the charm and romantic details of the architecture to the delicious food and drinks, and exceptional staff and service, this venue exceeded all of our expectations. Niki was especially helpful during the planning process, answering all our questions quickly and providing flexibility when we requested. Ralph was on top of every operational detail for our big day, giving us the utmost confidence that the calendar of events would run smoothly. Our wedding could not have been more perfect thanks to everyone at Whitby. If you’re looking for a venue that’s more than the typical ‘wedding factory’, look no further!

  • Whitby Castle was a truly gorgeous and amazing venue for a wedding! You can't ask for a better backdrop than the castle itself for your ceremony and photoshoot, and the inside is just as beautiful. We were floored when we saw the way the ballroom was set up for our reception. We also love the way the cocktail hour is set up - it begins in the corridor and leads out onto the deck, with the welcome glass of champagne and food stations in multiple locations as you enter. Our guests told us they loved the way they kept being surprised by more food stations! The food was also delicious, as many of our guests agreed. In addition to being the perfect venue, the staff at Whitby are also extremely friendly and accommodating. They were easy to reach and receptive to the many, many questions we had leading up to the big day. They were able to provide everything we asked for with ease, and day-of, our maitre d' Ralph made sure everything ran smoothly. Everything went off without a hitch and we didn't need to worry about a thing. Both he and Niki, who we worked with a lot leading up to the event, were two of the nicest people you could ask for
