Castle Farms

Queen's Courtyard Ceremony &
East Garden Room Reception

"We were married on July 8, 2011 in the Queen’s Courtyard, and our reception was held in the East Garden Room. Ours was the only wedding that Friday, and the Bridal Suite for my party upstairs was spacious and relaxing for such an energetic day. I especially loved being able to peek through the window down at our guests as they arrived for the ceremony."

"Luke and I chose the Castle because we wanted a venue that was unique and carried a bit of history. Additionally, we needed a venue large enough to host all our guests. Although I'm not the "princess" type, I fell in love with the history and grandness of Castle Farms. We wanted many of our out-of-town guests to enjoy the weekend in Northern Michigan, so we decided to choose Friday. The decor used at our wedding was very sentimental, as most of it came from my parents’ farm where I grew up, or was handcrafted by friends and family. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and Castle grounds throughout the evening, and many gathered outside until dusk."

"We had a gorgeous day and Janelle was tremendous! She made sure everything was phenomenal. I’m very much a “Type A”, but Janelle was calm, collected, and went out of her way to ensure things ran smoothly. Luke and I will never forget our wedding day at Castle Farms!"
