We have a unique Castle for your romantic wedding that you and your guests will remember forever! It's a magical setting and a stunning backdrop for your wedding photographs.

We offer rental packages for everyone’s budget and allow you the freedom and flexibility to have your wedding - your WAY. Have just the Wedding, the Reception or Both. Keep it simple, small and elegant or celebrate royally with your kingdom of friends and family.

OUTDOOR FEATURES include two large grassy lawns, two Patio Areas, lovely gardens, a beautiful 3 tier fountain, firepit and 20 acres of woodland trails with the backdrop of the castle.

Several lamps illuminate the gardens and lawn in the evening.

The more unusual and unique the venue is, the more special and memorable your event will be for you and your guests.

Our sole purpose is to provide you with an exciting and memorable environment for your special day, by renting you the use of our grounds and certain rooms within the castle. Arrangements for food and beverages, tent rental and furniture, etc. should be made with the help of an experienced wedding planner or full-service caterer. We can recommend some to you. They will coordinate and manage the entire event, so that you can relax and concentrate on the most important thing — celebrating your love!

The Royal Wedding Package includes time for a wedding rehearsal the day before as well as time for the wedding/reception day as well as delivery and pick of of tents/chairs/tables/toilets/etc.

Catering and other services and rentals are not included however, we coordinate with your contractors (caterer, florist, tent rental company, etc.) as they set up and tear down.

Rental rate is based on total head count and includes use of the grounds and/or certain rooms within the castle. The Royal Outdoor Wedding Special allows a day prior for rental services to drop-off and set-up and for Rehearsal, the day of the wedding with plenty of time for photos before and after the ceremony, and the day after for rental services to pick-up and clean-up. Parking onsite is limited to 10-12 vehicles, so larger groups would need to arrive via carpool, bus or limo. Head Count Includes the total of all guests, bridal party, etc.

Rain is always a risk, but statistically, most of the time it is dry. Renting a tent is always an option. In the end, it's a matter of whether or not you think the venue you rent is special enough to take a chance on. Odds are you will have a beautiful day!

What are the advantages of a Castle Wedding vs Banquet Reception Hall?

Banquet houses tend to look alike and are very forgettable. They often have few windows, they make it difficult to go outdoors, they tend to be located in high-traffic areas, and if they allow ceremonies, they likely have the common white arbor for your backdrop. Banquet houses can be surprisingly expensive. A banquet house owner has high overhead on their building; taxes, maintenance, utilities, mortgages, security and staff. An independent caterer can charge less for the meals, which goes a long way towards balancing the extra cost of renting a tent and furniture, etc. Also, banquet houses often have minimum guest requirements or charge even higher rates for small guest lists. FYI, CostOfWedding.com says the average cost of a summer wedding (2024) in Jackson, Michigan for 125 guests is $6,200 for the banquet hall rental alone. A memorable, creative Castle Wedding can actually SAVE you money

*50% deposit is due on signing. Remaining balance is due 60 days before your scheduled event.
