Our wedding at Bill Miller's Castle in May 2025 was a fairytale. It rained cats and dogs and we didn't even notice. The venue's decor is cozy, romantic, and interesting, so all of our professional photographs (and those taken by our guests on their own phones throughout the venue) contained a background with character and interest unique to anything we (or our guests) have ever seen. The outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour spaces would have been so lovely in-bloom in May, but we knew at Bill Miller's we would have a beautiful event even if it rained. The bridal suite, especially, was a god send, able to easily accommodate the crowd that was my bridal party. We continue to receive compliments from our guests about how 'cool' the venue was and how attentive and professional the staff was throughout the event. The planning team of Victoria and her mom, Lisa, made us feel confident every step of the way that our day would run smoothly. As a high-anxiety bride, I was relieved and assured by our conversations with the planning team all the way up to the rehearsal - and with the attention and care I received throughout my wedding day. At one point, Victoria got on her knees to help me change my shoes during the reception because I could not reach my feet around my large wedding dress. We would have our wedding at Bill Miller's again tomorrow.

I had my wedding here last week. Holy crap, they knocked it out of the park. Several people said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. They said the food was so good they’d come back if it were a restaurant. The cake was also outstanding and so delicious (shout out to Paula!). More than all of that, Jonna the bridal attendant took care of me and my husband so well that we hardly had to worry about anything. We got to eat everything because she set it aside for us and we set aside time for a calm moment. She made sure we got to take the cake home. She was an excellent communicator, made sure everyone was where they needed to be and she was somehow always there when we needed her. It was like she was everywhere all at once! I thought I was going to need to corral people to help me take stuff home that night. Nope! She knew who my immediate family was and had them grab a few things. She made it all low stress. Linda was amazing in the planning process. She was communicative and diligent on following up on our loose ends. I always felt like she was there if I needed her. Chris was our salesperson and did a wonderful job. He went above and beyond and met us right before (or after) closing because it was the only time that worked for us. He made us so excited to book the place and the team truly delivered!! I wish I could get married AGAIN and I’d do it here! Ps you HAVE to book Bruno of Beauty and Life Captured! If you book here. He is masterful with the lighting of this place. Truly so talented!

We had a beautiful wedding at the greenhouse of the Beardsley Zoo. The GlowWild light festival in the evening simply added to the magic of the event. The coordinators were wonderful in helping us set up and organize everything. If I had one piece of constructive feedback, it would just be that the head coordinator, Lindsay, was sometimes tricky to get in contact with via telephone for things like making our deposit and final payment for the venue.

I had my wedding at Anthony’s Ocean View. It was amazing and well worth every penny. Brian and Marcello are the best! I will say, the only negative aspect is that I was under the impression that only 1 wedding happened at a time - there was another wedding happening right next to us. This impacted our music, our photos and my speech was cut off because the other weddings music was so loud that the floor vibrated and I had to ask staff to do something. Other than that, the venue was beautiful, so accommodating, and food was absolutely fantastic. Would recommend Anthony’s to anyone.
