Our wedding was beautiful, we couldn’t have asked for a better day or venue. The castle was a stunning backdrop for our wedding. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception at Meyer’s Castle and each piece came perfectly together. The newly redecorated bridal suite is gorgeous and my bridal party and I felt like royalty getting ready. The florals and gardens were stunning and there is an Instagram worthy photo spot around every corner. Our coordinator, Eva, did a great job setting up all of our decor and was very communicative throughout the planning process. Eva and the MC team accommodated everything we wanted to include on our special day and our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about our wedding. Everyone loved the food and even loved the table wine, numerous guests took photos of the wine so that they could buy a bottle later on. We are so glad to have started the rest of our lives together after saying “I Do” at Meyer’s Castle; surrounded by family, friends, and 2 beautiful peacocks that roam the grounds.

For over 30 years, we have believed that true luxury is found in the quality of our craft and the ease of our hospitality. At Bread & Chocolate, we aren't just a venue; we are your full-service hosting partner. We provide the essentials, handle the logistics, and curate the details so you can be a guest at your own wedding. We are more than just a venue! We pride ourselves in our all-inclusive packages, including food and bar. At Bread & Chocolate, we believe that the "finer things" should be tasted. Food is more than just a meal; it is the soul of your celebration. That is why we prioritize the scratch-kitchen philosophy rooted in artisanal fundamentals. Every dish is prepared right here in our kitchen using fresh, seasonal ingredients. We don’t just serve food; we craft memories that your guests will talk about long after the final toast.

From the moment we started planning, the team at Bread & Chocolate made us feel like our wedding day mattered to them just as much as it did to us. Their responsiveness and genuine care showed in every detail, from organizing our donated drinks to directing guests and carrying our things throughout the day. What really stood out was how they anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask. They seemed to know exactly when to step in and help. They also made sure we actually had time to sit down and enjoy the food and each other, which meant everything. The entire staff went above and beyond in ways we never expected, and the venue itself is absolutely beautiful and intimate. Every penny was worth it, and we can't recommend them enough.
