Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most magical experience at Bill Millers Castle. They made the day everything we could have dreamed and more. Every detail was perfect, the food was phenomenal, and they scheduled everything to run smoothly without making us feel like we were stuck to a schedule. We were able to relax and enjoy the day without worry that something was not done or would not be ready. We had every one of our guests tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been too. (and as we are not a young couple most of them have been to a lot of wedding's). Not only was the experience of the day the most amazing, the planning and communication leading up to the day was phenomenal. Victoria was very easy to reach, answered all of our questions, and helped guide us through the process always having tips for us to make sure we got what we wanted. Thank you to Bill Millers Castle for the most amazing day.

Wyndcrest is absolutely stunning and played such a huge role in making our special day perfect. The beauty of the space itself took everyone’s breath away — from the perfectly cared for farm to the well constructed buildings, it created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. What really stood out to us was the incredible accommodations provided for the entire weekend. Our guests were comfortable and well taken care of, which made the experience even more enjoyable and relaxing for everyone involved. Having such wonderful lodging on-site truly added to the ease and flow of the entire event. We also truly appreciated the freedom we had to personalize and use the venue exactly how we wanted. Being able to make the space our own and bring our vision to life without restrictions meant so much to us. The Madison was supportive and accommodating every step of the way, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Overall, the venue was more than just a beautiful backdrop — it was a warm, welcoming place that helped make our wedding weekend unforgettable.
