The Legacy Castle — Attraction in Pequannock Township

Our wedding was 7/24/25 and it was BEAUTIFUL. This was the only venue we toured, I looked up sooooo many venues in the NJ/NY/PA area (my now-husband wanted our wedding near our family which is mostly concentrated in DE/PA/NY area. We toured this place, and my husband thought the price was within our budget to have it on a Thursday and we were sold. Originally he was against investing so much in the venue so we could spend more money on vendors which is fair, but I personally felt venue and dress are the most important to invest in and I still feel this way afterwards and tell people because those are the first two questions I ALWAYS got asked.

The venue was a lot more organized than we expected, I originally planned to put our bridal party to work but the venue had so much under control and were ready to WORK.

Thank you Felix (our banquet sales manager) for dealing with my emails and phone calls. We booked this venue almost a full 2 years in advance and whenever I had questions leading up to the 3 months before, Felix was my primary contact/when I called the venue half the time he would be the one to pick up. I knew he was sick of me, but he always showed patience and was knowledgeable.

Marina, our details coordinator, was fantastic in showing patience as I was continuously adding details to the event just daysss before the wedding. I tried to make her job easy as possible by providing all the details I could in the first month of us making contact. She was very nice and friendly, I wish she was there the day of the event since I felt comfortable communicating with her, but there were other staff who were qualified as well on site at the time.

I also wanted to shout out Michelle, our maitre'd who was so organized and really listened when I was distressed and exhausted with our photographer/videographer before the ceremony. She also made sure there was a little remembrance table added to our reception area just hours before the reception when I noticed we didn't have one set, I forgot to ask Marina to include it. The bridal attendants Lesly and Nicole were amazing as well, all three of these ladies were HUSTLING that day and my mother in law said she was informed they were short staffed, but I could barely tell because they worked hard to make sure Dylan, our bridal parties, and I were comfortable as could be.

Lastly, I LOVE this venue and would recommend it to anyone who can manage to make this venue in their price range for the reason being they were SO nice and efficient in packing up all our little items in large plastic storage boxes andddd made sure we had 2 of everything from the cocktail hour waiting in my bridal suite AND packed away 9 leftover boxes from...

I truly do not have enough words to describe the beauty of this venue and the professionalism of the staff. My wedding was on Sunday, November 6th. My husband and I booked in October of 2021 with Michelle Leja who was awesome. She was so professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. She instantly made us feel welcomed. We feel in love with the beauty of the venue. Every portion of the castle is absolutely stunning. Michelle took us on an entire tour, and she reviewed the different amenities with us before we signed. She constantly kept in contact with us throughout the planning process.

Throughout the year, I had multiple meetings with The Legacy Castle staff who were beyond accommodating, especially our details coordinator, Marina Metcalf. Marina is an ANGEL! Marina was flexible, friendly, kind, accommodating, and truly a breath of fresh air. She listened to my every want and need, and she made sure to not only fulfill it, but exceed all of my expectations. She is, by far, the greatest person I have ever had the pleasure of working with, and I can truly say my wedding was a DREAM because of her. I cannot thank Marina enough for delivering my dream wedding. Every detail from the cocktail hour menu, the dinner menu, the ice sculpture, and the linens was ABSOLUTE perfection. Marina was also so quick to answer all of my emails and phone calls. She is the epitome of professionalism! Marina is a superstar, and I hope all future brides have the honor of working with her. Thank you, Marina!

On the day of my wedding, I had the honor and pleasure of working with Michelle Smith, my maitre'd, and Lesly Rizola, my bridal attendant. Lesly was my bridal attendant, and she did not leave my side. She made sure that I was calm, cool, and collected, even when we faced some hiccups and delays in our timeline. Michelle was AMAZING! She ran the show! She constantly checked on my husband, my family, and me to make sure that we were happy, which we surely were. She managed our cocktail hour to constantly make sure that food was refilled. Michelle also worked closely with my DJ and photographer to make sure that my husband and I were able to dance, but also get the pictures that we wanted. I even begged her to have them take down the flowers later that night, after the wedding was over, so that I can bask in the beauty of the room. She was amazing and truly a superstar by all means of the stretch. Both Michelle and Lesly made my family feel at home.

I just simply do not have enough words to describe how amazing this venue is. They made all of my dreams come true! My wedding was a dream, thanks to The...

I want to preface this by saying I never leave these reviews, but I felt obligated to write this as this was by far the worst experience at a wedding venue I have had in my life. I have never met a staff more inattentive and outright RUDE. There was one bartender (I wish I could remember her name so I can publicly call her out) that was so nasty to my friends and I, you cant help but wonder if she should really consider another job where she doesn't have to interact with people. As we were getting drinks during the cocktail hour, she actually had the gall to say that we were acting "too happy" and that we may need to be cut off" As if acting happy at a wedding were grounds for punishment. We then go into the main reception hall and these geniuses decide to leave the bar completely unattended for the first 30 minutes of the reception. When someone at the party decided to go behind the bar and pour themself a water (as the wait staff was also dragging their feet bringing drinks) the manager and said bartender come out and rudely reprimand us. Fast forward 20 minutes and I go to the now staffed bar to order a drink and the bartender says "we saw you behind the bar pouring drinks, you are cut off" with a cheeky smile on her face which showed how much of a power trip she got from that. Now since I was not the person pouring drinks behind the bar and I was one of the only persons of color at the wedding, I cannot help but feel this was targeted and outright RACIST!!!. The manager failed to offer an explanation of why I was cut off other than saying "we saw you behind the bar". I realize the people that work at these venues are not necessarily splitting the atom, but I would think they would at least be able to tell the difference between a 5'6 male (myself) and a 4'11 female (the person who did go behind the bar). Completely unacceptable behavior from any hospitality workers. For the amount of money my family spent on this wedding, I should have been able to go behind the bar, pick any bottle I want and smash it against the wall (and they should have said thank you). They also accidentally lit one of the floral arrangements on fire. (I won't get into that, but true story). I wish I could leave a 0 star review - I would not recommend anyone have their wedding or any event here. And if by some act of the universe, the bartender whom this review is centered on happens to read this. I pray you find some solace or respite from the obvious misery that your life is.

P.S Someone also urinated all over your bathroom floors. You should really do a better job of...
