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.

The Haley Mansion was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, their communication style was outstanding - they were always available to meet with us face-to-face, were incredibly responsive, and showed genuine kindness throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was exceptional. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with a perfect blend of traditional elegance and unexpected modern touches. Whenever we encountered any problems or challenges, the Haley Mansion team was quick to present alternative solutions, and they even provided us with a day-of time keeper to ensure the ceremony ran smoothly. We loved working with our wedding coordinator, whose bubbly personality was everything we could have hoped for. The only thing we wish is that they had allowed her to stay with us on the day of the wedding, as she was the one we were expecting to be by our side throughout the entire event. Overall, the Haley Mansion exceeded our expectations in every way and we are so grateful for the role they played in making our special day absolutely perfect.

If I could do my wedding over again I would do it over and over again at the Barn at Cottonwood. We opted for the Giant Slide, Tractor Ride, Photobooth, Bonfire. In Lieu of a wedding cake, we did pumpkin pie and apple cider donuts provided by the venue. It was beautiful and means a lot to me that this was a family-owned operation. On the day of event, we had several attendants there for us for both the giant slide and tractor ride. Overall, it was a great experience, and I am very happy.
