Lots of room to do a venue. Very medevil and well maintained.

This little castle is such a fairytail location for anyone that wants to have a small European village vibe for their wedding wedding in Maryland. It’s one of our absolute favorite locations we’ve photographed a wedding. The lighting and location make for such dreaming, romantic photos. ig @thewillinghamsphotography

We just had our company Christmas party here what a beautiful place! Great staff as well!

I went here for afternoon tea, and I had such an incredible experience. I thought that the tea was an amazing value for the amount of food we got & the quality, as well as the sampling of three different pots of tea. My group had a couple of picky eaters in it, and we were all able to find so many delicious things to enjoy in the beautiful display of food that we were given - four different types of tea sandwiches (two vegetarian), muffins, scones, pudding cups, fruit, cheese, brownies, and little blueberry pastry bites, along with delicious spreads for the scones and sandwiches. We tried our best to finish everything, because it was too good to waste, but it was just so much food! The three different teas were all amazing, and it was fun getting to sample all of them. We also enjoyed browsing the crafts vendors that were present over this past weekend, and we were able to find some really cool, unique items to purchase! The castle is also so beautiful, and we loved exploring both the interior and the grounds. It felt like stepping into another time & place! Definitely a really unique location, and I'm glad I got to experience it. If you get a chance to visit, you definitely should, and I very highly recommend the tea event if they do it again! We did have one disappointment, though. My brother and his fiancee thought it would be fun to dress up for the spring bazaar, especially since it was his birthday, and I have a really simple mirrorless camera that I take with me everywhere, so I was enjoying taking a few photos of my family in the castle. A woman came up to us and asked us to stop, saying that professional photoshoots were not allowed without a permit. There was nothing "professional" about this shoot. I was simply taking photos of my own family, and I did not have any professional equipment with me (no big cameras, no tripod, no lighting, nothing of that sort). The photos were just for our own enjoyment and would be going absolutely nowhere beyond our personal social media accounts, because we wanted to share our fun day with our friends. We tried to explain that we were just taking photos of family, and she refused to listen to our explanation. It felt especially unnecessary given that we had supported the vendors with many purchases and had attended the tea as paying guests. Her tone toward us was not particularly kind, either. That put a damper on our day, but we didn't want to argue. However, I was surprised to then look online and see absolutely nothing about any kind of photo policy. I read through their entire website and also did a Google search of "Cloisters Castle" and various terms like "photography," "photos," "permit," etc. Zero results mention anything about it, so that made her rude tone a little worse, in my opinion. And there was no signage in the castle. Anyway, I feel like it's unusual for a family to have to pay for a permit to take photos of each other, especially during a fun springtime tea event. So just something to be aware of during your visit. But despite this encounter, I'd definitely return, and I've been telling everyone how cool it was!

The venue is beautiful and the staff was friendly!! Went here for afternoon tea and that is the part that disappointed me the most. Over all it was ok, but for $45 bucks... Not worth it hate to say. Plastic condiment cups and silverware, folding chairs, brownie bites. No cream or sugar cubes... It was just kinda cheap, not necessarily nasty or poor service, just not the quality I was expecting considering the ticket price, area and it being a castle and all. Happy to have had the experience though, and may return for other events.

Absolutely beautiful place. It gets fairly hot inside but thankfully they had a lot of large fans in all rooms and lovely French doors and windows to let the cool night air in to circulate.

Want to get married in a castle but don't want to have to fly to Europe to make it happen? Then check out The Cloisters Castle! It gives you all the Old World charm of an ancient European edifice with the convenience of being located near Baltimore. We photographed a wedding there recently and absolutely adored The Cloisters Castle. We particularly loved the main outdoor ceremony area -- the Cloistered Garden behind the main building. It has so many elements that make it a really lovely space for a wedding -- the staircase that the wedding party descends during the processional, the bell rung to announce the bride's arrival and the gorgeous plants lining the outside of the area, just to name a few. The rest of the venue is just as special. There is a "window" at the foot of a set of stairs that seems custom-made for a first touch. The spiral staircase illuminated with little lights is a really cool spot for wedding portraits. And the woods around the castle offer the possibility to get truly beautiful pictures in nature.

This place is spectacular. I was here for a friend's wedding and it was just beautiful!

Great staff and great place for venues and get togethers. Very beautiful castle

Talk about a dream venue Cloisters is absolutely stunning all year round and in all weather conditions! All night I heard about how it was the perfect venue and no one could believe such a gorgeous place existed around here and how perfect it was for our themed wedding (plenty mentioned how beautiful it is regardless of theme though). The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly such a dream to work with these lovely people! Eternally grateful such a beautiful place with such great staff exists and that I was able to get married here!
