Hi, Vicky--I'm no expert of course, but the blurb for the place says "1,000 years ago", so that would put it ca. 1000 CE. I would say that's a "no earlier than" date, though, since obviously a real "castle" would have continued use for centuries. Houppelands, gothic fitted dresses, maybe even something as late as Tudor would all be reasonable, but span quite a long time period. It might be best to call your sister and ask her to narrow down the time frame a bit--is she wanting early as in when the "castle" would have been new? Or somewhat later into the early Renaissance?
In any event, it looks like a lovely place to hold a wedding, and I hope you take a lot of pictures to share!
