One of the top questions that keep coming my way is, "What made you choose a castle and how did you find it?" The answer to that is that Monica's dream wedding was one in a castle, one with a Victorian and regal feel to it that would make her feel like a princess in a fairytale.
All I knew was that I wanted to get married. I had no vision of where and how, but she knew every detail of what she wanted. When she expressed her desire my first thought was, 'A castle? Are you kidding me? We're going to have to go to England for that, girl!' But we didn't. Once I started researching I found that there are a number of castles here in the United States. I would have never thought to have anything at one. I didn't even know it was possible.
So, from New York to Maryland we traveled to find the one that she liked the most and Oheka, which happened to be the first one we saw, was the best. Soon her dream wedding became mine. Once I saw the possibilities of what we could do with the right amount of patience and planning I started to get excited right along with her. My eyes had been opened to more than I thought was available. We signed the contract for the castle a year and a half ago. (There was a long wait to get in this place, but it had to be there.)
I have to say that the service at Oheka Castle was the best ever. I would highly recommend the site as a place to have an event. Everyone was so helpful, the valet, the doorman, our attendants, the waiters, etc. Only in movies had I seen places where the walls were lined with fabric--satin. Everything was beautiful.
