Wedding Packages

Wedding Package Menu Guidelines

  • We offer three types of menus included in the packages: two “station” menus (numbers I & II), four “served meal” menus (numbers III and IV) and three “buffet” menus (number V). Each package lists maximum capacity. Please note that for parties of 50 guests or fewer, additional charges may apply.
  • We now feature popular “combination entrées,” which allow for more variety in your meal, without the need for split entrées and coded place cards. Please ask the Castle Coordinator about this new option.
  • Your choice of entrée, bar service, and linen determine the per-person cost for all packages. The Castle Coordinator will quote you a specific price when you determine each of these variables. Please note the description of services here:
    • “Full Open Bar” includes premium brand liquor, house wines, and a selection of beer, juices, soda, and mineral water for a five-hour event.
    • “Limited Open Bar” includes house wines, plus a selection of beer, juices, soda, and mineral water for a five-hour event.
    • “House Linen” consists of ivory tablecloths and skirts as well as a choice of solid-colored napkins. The Castle Coordinator can provide samples to assist you with your decision.
  • “Specialty Linen” consists of a variety of colored and patterned tablecloths, skirts, and overlays as well as printed napkins. The Castle Coordinator can provide samples to assist you with your decision.
  • Per Boston University policy, alcohol will be removed from the bar 30 minutes before the end of your reception. “Shots” are not permitted and guests may not bring more than two drinks away from the bar at any given time. The Castle Coordinator and the Catering Manager reserve the right to stop serving any individual (or the entire party) if they decide that alcohol consumption has become irresponsible.
  • All package pricing is based on a five-hour function time. Events lasting more than five hours will incur additional charges. Please note that all guests must exit The Castle within 15 minutes of the scheduled end time in order to avoid additional staffing charges. The Castle Coordinator will make every effort to keep the function on schedule and will inform you if you’re about to incur additional charges.
  • All packages include a selection of wedding cakes made fresh by our own pastry chef. Please note that specialty finishes as well as special or unusual cake requests may result in an added per-person charge for your cake. Should you decide to order your wedding cake from an outside vendor, please be aware that the quoted per-person cost of your package will not decrease. Rather, you may choose between a served dessert at no additional charge or a dessert station served buffet-style alongside your cake for a nominal charge. Please note that a $1.50 per-person cake-cutting fee will apply. Please discuss your wedding cake and dessert options with the Castle Coordinator.
  • Your menu must be finalized 8 weeks before the event date. Your final guarantee, or the number of guests that will be in attendance, is due 5 business days before your event. Please note that should your final guarantee be given or changed after that date, additional charges may apply.
  • A limited number of Kosher, vegetarian, or other special dietary meals are available upon request. Please discuss this with the Castle Coordinator.
  • A 5% Massachusetts Meals Tax is included in the per-person prices as quoted by the Castle Coordinator.
  • All prices and menu options are subject to change.
