Meyer’s Castle is such a hidden gem—you’d never expect to find a place like this in the Midwest! I’ve had the chance to shoot two weddings here, and both times were such a dream. The venue itself is stunning and feels like a little escape from the everyday. But what really makes it stand out is the team. The staff is always so kind and helpful, especially Kate—not just with the couples, but with us vendors too, which honestly makes the day run so much smoother. I can’t wait for the next time I get to come back and create more magic within those castle walls. Forever a fan of this place.

IWU also provides a musician for the ceremony, and working with Lisa was also amazing. We had our reception at the Young Main Lounge and everything was seamless. The caterer is through Sodexo and our guests have not stopped complimenting the meal. Having our wedding at IWU made our day unique and run so smoothly, and we highly recommend it to any couple!
