Daughter’s wedding

From the moment we first saw Bill Miller’s Castle we knew my daughter’s wedding needed to be there. I can’t say enough about how incredible this venue is. Lisa and her staff were incredible. They made sure everything was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious. All of of guests raved about how phenomenal everything was. Even our DJ, who had never done an event there, said he hoped he could work there again.

Amazing!!!!! Could not have asked for a better day!

Having my wedding at Bill Millers was the BEST decision my husband and I made. We had the most incredible experience from the day we toured it to the final seconds at the venue on our wedding night. On our wedding night, Vic and Lisa (and the entire staff) were so helpful in every way possible, they were thoughtful and really helped make the event go smoothly. They were 10 steps ahead of me in all my thoughts and had a plan for each and every part of the day. They made sure my husband and I had time to ourselves to take it all in, they made sure we ate, had our drinks ready for us at all times, and checked in with us to make sure we were having the night of our dreams. I truly couldn’t be happier with our choice. Thank you to the Bill Millers team!!
