“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.”

“I would choose The Lodge at Rush Lakes a million times over! We traveled from Michigan for our wedding, and Logan and Dustin made the entire process seamless. From the start, they were incredibly accommodating, sending us photos, measurements, and virtual tours to help us plan from afar. The property itself is stunning. We stayed for two nights, and the house was beautiful, spotless, and easily fit our entire family and bridal party. Our guests obsessed over the pool, and the tunnels connecting the three buildings are such a cool, unique touch! What really sets this venue apart is the staff. Logan, Dustin, and the team felt like family. They helped us unpack cars, handled setup and teardown, and even drove us around on side-by-sides for our first look and on the pontoon for some downtime. They even had special code names for me and my husband! When the weather looked like it might take a turn, they already had a 'Plan B' ready to go so we didn't have to worry for a second. They are the coolest, most personable people you will ever work with. Thank you for making our weekend so special! -Cody and Miranda Burris (Green Stallion and White Dove)”
