The setting and gardens are beautiful.. but the Administration of the venue is AWFUL!!! They will comply with all your wishes, AT ADDITIONAL COSTS!! Castle Farms took our thousands of dollars in good faith January 2020, then when it came down to the details =$$$$. With Michigan state orders, we were prepared to entertain our guests in a TENT to abide my State restrictions. Only to find out that 5 days before the States restrictions were lifted... other guests could have their event INSIDE AND EXCEED THE GUEST LIMITS FOR INDOOR ENTERTAINING!! You want to use the bridal suite to get ready = EXTRA. You want a golf cart for handicapped guests to use a real bathroom versus their PORT A JOHN outside = EXTRA!! You want to share your venue day with rehearsals and the Castle's revenue generating 'tours' = good luck working around THEIR schedule. You want your signage that you bought for your guests left inside and not put out= GOT it! If you are looking for a stress free venue to have you... Read morer event = LOOK ELSEWHERE!! There are other Castles to chose. VERY VERY disappointed with this venue. Would never recommend to another bride!!

I always dreamed of having a fairytale wedding, and just so happened to stumble across Castle Farms when I got engaged. It was the one and only venue I toured because as soon as I step foot in the Knight’s Castle, I knew that’s were I was going to have my first dance with my husband. The grounds are beautiful, each room is lovely and classy, and it really is like stepping into a different time. I was a pandemic bride, and I am so thankful I chose Castle Farms because they were always on my side. Rebecca gave us so many updates, and were so empathetic and helpful with any and all questions. Angela, my day-of coordinator was an absolute dream. She was so helpful, sweet, calm, and really was a shining part of the day. Anything I needed help with she was willing to do and successfully took so much weight off my shoulders. Not only is Castle Farms a beautiful venue, but it’s wonderfully run with a caring team who ensure your day is as beautiful as possible. I cannot thank the team ... Read moreof Castle Farms enough for making my day truly magical.

The grounds of Castle Farms are breathtaking! It was a dream! Guests were in awe and the staff was outstanding. Natalie B. was our venue coordinator and she was so sweet! With Covid, Castle Farms was so flexible to changes we had to make. From start to finish (and all the in between) it was perfect! And talk about a picturesque location!

Beautiful venue, different options & GREAT staff!

My wife and I chose Castle Farms after a weekend of touring venues in northern Michigan. We quickly fell in love with the beauty of the grounds and the friendliness of the staff. Rebekah and Natalie helped us coordinate our special day and we couldnt say enough good things about their help and enthusiasm in ensuring our day went as planned. I would 100% recommend Castle Farms to anyone looking for a venue in Norther Michigan.

We had the most beautiful fairytale wedding at Castle Farms. It is a dream venue. Angela our venue coordinator was absolutely amazing to work with! Planning our wedding during Covid was difficult and stressful at times, but Castle Farms was very accommodating. Angela had some great suggestions when changing plans, she made sure our wedding day went smoothly, and helped us plan down to the small details. I would highly recommend Castle Farms to any couple, it is an absolutely beautiful venue in any season!

Everyone at Castle Farms was so helpful from beginning to end! Planning went very smooth and our coordinator Alex kept everything moving the day of so there was no confusion. Castle Farms is a very beautiful location with so many options for picture taking. Absolutely Love everything about this venue!

After hosting our wedding ceremony and reception at Castle Farms, I couldn't have imagined choosing anything different. The site is so beautiful, and the staff is equally amazing. I would recommend this venue to any and every bride!

The venue coordinators are absolutely phenomenal. When I had questions they emailed back within the hour, they verified everything with me every step of the way, and explained everything thoroughly (except the added cleanup cost for the pine needles on the boughs we had brought in; had I known, I would have purchased fake instead of real). They refunded some money for things I had thought I would need and didn’t, and worked well to coordinate with my other vendors.

They were perfect through the entire experience -- every detail was thought of in this whole process, and they definitely offer a true professional experience in a gorgeous environment!

Castle farms is one of the most beautiful venues I have ever seen. They worked with us through the whole two years of planning. Even helped my now husband purpose to me. We were even able to split our ceremony and reception up into two rooms so I could have the window in the kings great hall open during our reception. They gave us a day of coordinator - Angela and our day went so smooth because of her. It really was such a magical day. They do everything they can to make your dreams come true!

Just the most beautiful place in the world to get married! Not to mention the personal service from every staff member employed there. Our venue coordinator, Angela, was only a call or e-mail away. She was so very attentive, answered every question, and during our big day had everything taken care of before we asked. She made our day go off without a hitch and make it the very best!!!

For the cost of the venue you get a blank slate. I loved I could make the space mine and hire outside caterers, rent my own chairs and tables, etc... It's pricey but our wedding was ours. The high rental price includes a wedding coordinator, which I saw a lot of value in. However, I was coordinating with all our vendors, which we recommended by the venue and it was A LOT. Not only in the months of planning but on our big day. Then, I was extremely disappointed when the microphone ran out of batteries during our vows and nothing was done to remedy the situation. We spent too much money to have things like that go wrong. And when our caterers forgot to put a glass of champagne at every seat or closed one of our two bars by mistake it was my problem. THE BRIDE! Overall, beautiful place but I wish things had gone smoother. I loved our wedding but after all the time and money we put into it, the easily avoidable mistakes still irk me.

We had such a phenomenal wedding at Castle Farms! Everything was perfect from the venue. The setup was exactly correct, the coordinator was 100% on top of organization the day of, they accommodated our small extra requests for outdoor lights, patio heaters, lounge furniture setup (which we rented from Taylor Rental). The location is just so beautiful, especially if the weather cooperates. In the event of rain, there is a great pavilion which I'm sure would provide for great photos as well! The biggest plus to Castle Farms however, is their flexibility to allow you to bring your own liquor, beer and caterer. Once you price out your wedding, realize how much expense you save by shopping around on catering and buying your own liquor. Save that huge markup and spend it on what actually gets you something (photographer, DJ, etc)! All-in-all great place to get married. The only critique I would have is that you aren't assigned a "specific" coordinator to work with until 1 month before. In re... Read moreality, they should assign you someone to work closely with 3-6 months before to start really hashing out specific details. It was a bit hard to get a hold of someone via phone at times and there were a couple details that were muddled up 1 month before in terms of delivery times for the rental items. HOWEVER, Castle Farms came through and made it right and got everything worked out PERFECTLY. I would suggest to them though, that to prevent this in the future, they assign a coordinator earlier to work out the explicit details sooner. This is a great place to have your wedding with the flexibility to do exactly what you want on your day! Everyone will have a blast and the photo locations are top notch!
