Venue help! (Castle or manor)

I always pictured the fairytale wedding, just without the large amount of people attending. I'm in love with oheka castle,however the minimum is about 150. I have a small party of 20. Are there any other castle or mansion venues without a huge minimum. I found the tarry town castle hotel and spa, they are able to accomadate my minimum. I havnt seen it yet but from the pictures, I'm not in love. It just seems to be my only option. I want a elegant ballroom vibe. We plan to have a violinist and piano player from the ceremony. I want the elegant,classy glamorous vibe. I plan to make it romantic and personal since il be saving money with a small guest list. Any recommendations? Anyone use tarry town castle?

I think you are going to have a hard time finding that with a true catering venue. Most places require minimums of 100+.. Your best bet may be to try and find someone renting out their home and rent that if it meets your requirements.

I don't want a home rental. I have a budget that would be able to afford something more grand, which is want I want. I know a lot of places require minimums but some don't. I found a handful of the ones that don't. I just want to make sure there is nothing I missed. I understand if you can't offer any suggestions to meet my needs, thankyou for your imput!

Hello everyone I'm new to this. I was wondering if anyone has any quotes from 2 places i'm interested in to have my party for 250-300 guests. I'm looking for Oheka Castle and Carlyle on the green. They are completely different but my FH loves Oheka and I like Carlyle last time I was there for my friends wedding. He wont go anywhere unless I have an idea of pricing first lol

I also am in love with Oheka Castle. Was that a quote you received for Oheka or you heard from another bride? I don't want to go there and its WAY out of our price range.

Also, I've seen about 5-6 different venues and the lowest minimum was 100 people. Everyone else was 150-175 MIN.
