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.

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!

I would recommend Castle Farms to anyone wanting to get married in an unforgettable venue. The staff was friendly, Autumn was our coordinator and she was very understanding, flexible, efficient and helpful with getting our day together, letting us know what was okay on the grounds and what wasn't, I would definitely recommend her. Even the sprinkling of rain that happened on our wedding day wasn't enough to dampen the beauty and magic of the space.

Castle Farms was absolutely amazing to work with. We did not see it in person prior to our rehearsal, however it was more beautiful than I could have imagined. Autumn, our wedding coordinator, was extremely helpful both leading up to the wedding and the day of. No matter how many questions I asked she was always friendly and made sure everything went smoothly the day of the wedding. You can tell that Castle Farms is very used to holding events and they are excellent at it. Highly recommend!

My husband and I are both local to the area and always dreamed of a Castle Farms wedding. We were thrilled when we booked the venue and happy with things until the day before our wedding. We were told we had the reception area starting the day prior to the wedding for set up/decorations. We had set out favors, wine/beer/liquor and decorations. Throughout our time decorating there were multiple groups of people on "self guided tours" wandering through our reception venue admiring our things. When we went to leave I asked if we could close up the room to protect our belongings but was told that this wasn't possible and it would be open to the public for tours the remainder of the day. If this was communicated to me from the start I would not have put our personal belongings in the room without protection. The day of the wedding we were told we would have a wedding coordinator. Throughout the day there was numerous times that as the bride, I had to call my bridesmaids significant others t... Read moreo help with things. The coordinator popped in and out randomly but we had no form of communicating with her when we needed her. She also left our event early since she was also coordinating another wedding at the same time. As a bride I was stressed out over things getting set up/moved/coordinated properly and if I would've known our coordinator wasn't going to be available for our needs I would've hired someone else. If you are considering hiring Castle Farms for your wedding I would suggest getting outside help for coordination and waiting to decorate until day of the wedding even if they say you can get into your space earlier.
