Fascinating place by the sea, a little "Dark Shadows", but the creator, owner and founder seems the most fascinating of all. I can't wait to return when it reopens next season in the spring.

Beautiful place on the sea - it's a wonder there are not more windows open to the view! This place is unique and elegant. The photos you can take are as if from a fairytale. - All but 1 room is very small for a large group so make sure to stay back to take photos or re-visit the rooms after the tour. During the Candlelight tours, it is possible for bats to enter rooms as windows and doors are left open. The tour can be paranormal activity focused at some points.

Beautiful scenery and excellent tour, suggest reading up about the creepy stuff before going! Makes it even more fun

Absolutely fantastic experience at a great price. For us Midwesterners, imagine House on the Rock, except with far more ancient (but equally eclectic) styles. Try to get a free guided tour after buying the regular admission ticket, the guides know all of Mr Hammond's famous pranks and the secrets around the castle. Sadly the pipe organ no longer works. I only wish I could see every single room in the place! Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

This review is specifically about Hammond Castle as a wedding venue. I had my wedding at Hammond Castle Museum in August and, while the venue is absolutely stunning, my experience was completely ruined due to an enormous amount of miscommunication (specifically on the part of the venue rep, Linda Rose). Let me start out by saying that if you want to hold a wedding at the castle and plan to go through all of their preferred vendors, you will probably have a great experience. The castle allows you to pick your own vendors as long as you share which vendor will be doing what. Instead of using a traditional caterer, we decided to have Indian food brought in and serve it buffet style. Now, Linda knew about this for three months before the wedding date. FOUR DAYS before the wedding, Linda calls me up and tells me that normally the caterer is in charge of cleanup, which includes breaking down all tables and chairs, removing all trash, sweeping, etc. Since we did not have a caterer, this now falls to us, including paying a $400 cleaning deposit. Four days is not a lot of time to resolve this dilemma. We ended up hiring someone off of Task Rabbit (who was great), but unfortunately, was not enough for the high standards of Hammond Castle. When we arrived, one of the first things Linda said to me (the bride) was that I should have hired a staff of people. Again, I had four days to plan this! We had a series of problems throughout the night and Linda was incredibly rude the entire time. Yes, a lot went wrong and I can understand why she was frustrated, but being rude to a bride and groom who are paying quite a lot of money to be at your venue (which doesn't include anything besides the location itself) is really unprofessional. She was scowling all night, wouldn't communicate during clean up so we weren't sure what exactly needed to be done, and was short with me and even openly bad-mouthed me to her colleague. We were doing our best. My family and friends were removing trash, breaking down tables in their gowns, and sweeping. And still, nothing but coldness from Linda. After the fact, Linda cashed our $400 because one trash bag was left behind and a couple of beer bottles were left outside on the premises. My husband sucked up to her and we eventually got $200 back. So all-in-all I would recommend Hammond Castle Museum for a wedding if you are able to pay the exorbitant prices the preferred vendors charge (although, I might now understand why the charge so much to partner with the castle)! Just be ready for loads of miscommunication...
