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.

From start to finish, our experience with Canvas was a dream. We first met the team of Canvas in January of 2022 for our wedding in September 2023. Bergen swept us off our feet and won our hearts after our first phone call with her. After seeing the venue for the first time, we were completely blown away. There is no other reception space like it. During the event itself, everything flowed smoothly and was handled with ease. Truly could not say a single bad thing about them! Thank you Canvas for making our wedding dreams come true! 3

The hotel was renovated a few years ago and the rooms, bar/restaurant, and pool areas all still felt newer. Great option if near your venue!
