Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Waltman Lake Lodge was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was fast, easy, and so helpful. Emma was quick to respond to my questions and acted quickly when my veil fell out seconds before I walked down the aisle. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and worth every penny - it truly felt magical. They went above and beyond to help coordinate all of our vendors and made our wedding day the dream that we had envisioned. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special day. 10/10 recommend

Little Flower Barn offers a beautiful, functional backdrop for events.
