Best day ever

Castle Unicorn is seriously the way to go. It is a little on the pricey side, but they do EVERYTHING. Food, drinks, ceremony, a place to stay the night of the wedding, setting up, taking down, you don't have to lift a finger. I can't say enough great things about the venue or the guys that run it. They run an amazing and professional service. We didn't worry about a thing or have to do anything with setup or take down. Beautiful venue with amazing spots for pictures as well!

Incredible Venue

Castle Unicorn was the very first venue we toured, and after seeing it and meeting the owners, we truly couldn’t picture getting married anywhere else. Driving up to the castle feels like stepping straight into a fairytale. The whole property is beautiful and so well kept and the ponds, fountains, bridges, courtyard, and castle itself all looked incredible in our photos. Anyone who didn’t go to our wedding is always asking where it was because the pictures look unreal.

What really made Castle Unicorn stand out for us, though, were the owners, John and Ray. From day one, they made us feel like we were their number one priority. They are so genuine and so good at what they do. They gave us tons of helpful information right away, and because they handle so much in-house, planning was way less stressful than I expected. Not having to book a caterer or DJ separately was a huge relief. Anytime I emailed with questions, they responded so fast and always seemed to know exactly what I needed, sometimes before I even asked. I work in large corporate events, and I can confidently say John and Ray are some of the most incredible people to work with in this industry. I am a very type A sort of bride who likes to control every single detail and they are both so on top of everything that I was actually able to let go and enjoy my day instead of worrying.

On the actual wedding day, everything went so smoothly. We dropped off decor a couple days before, and by the time we showed up on the day of, most of it was already up and looked flawless. We had some on-and-off misty weather, so a few things had to be adjusted last minute to keep everything covered, and the staff handled all of it perfectly while keeping us informed. When we finally decided the weather would hold long enough for our ceremony setup, it felt like the staff made everything magically appear within minutes. Throughout the day, they checked in to make sure we were on track and that everything matched what we had pictured.

There were so many small moments that made us feel cared for in a way I don’t think couples typically get on their wedding day. Every person who works there was always smiling and genuinely seemed so happy for us. They had a golf cart nearby for family members who needed a little assistance getting to the ceremony which was a lifesaver. John personally walked me through the buffet and carried my plate back to our table for dinner and the morning after, when it was pouring rain and we started loading up our car, someone immediately grabbed carts and umbrellas and jumped in to help. They were simple gestures, but they happened again and again and made it so clear how much they care about their couples and their guests.

Looking back, getting married at Castle Unicorn gave us so much more value than we ever expected. So much was included, planning never felt overwhelming, and we were able to actually focus on getting married instead of managing logistics. It was absolutely worth every penny.

If you want a magical, stress-free wedding day where you can truly just enjoy the moment and be surrounded by people who care about making your day perfect, Castle Unicorn is exactly where you need to be.

Best Wedding Venue for outdoor weddings!

Castle Unicorn is an amazing wedding venue. They are very knowledgeable and provided advice when we were uncertain about the flow of things. They also provided a list of vendors they typically work with in case we didn't know who we wanted to go with for the cake, Flowers, photography and more. We did end up using their list of vendors and it made it so easy to get everything figured out before the day of the wedding. They also made sure everything went as smoothly as possible for us and helped us stay on track when it came to our timeline. Overall they were amazing to work with and the venue was beautiful!

An October Wedding

We had the most perfect wedding at Castle Unicorn. My wife and I were married this past October and couldn't have gotten a better day. They were very accommodating and kind, and wanted nothing more than for us to have our dream wedding. The food was rad, and they provide excellent recs for vendors you'll need in association with your big day (cake, dj, floral). Thank you so much for working so hard to make it happen guys!

I cannot overstate how amazing this venue is!

Besides the location being beautiful and immaculately maintained the owners truly endeavor to make your wedding day as smooth as possible. I was impressed with how helpful John was during the planing process but blown away by how helpful he was on the day. I didn't think about the timeline or stress about any details and was able to focus on my husband. Everyone is still telling us how beautiful our wedding was months later!

Best Wedding Venue!

I would 100% recommend getting married at Castle Unicorn! This place is absolutely stunning if you are looking for an outside wedding. They also help with every step of the planning process which made it not only easy but really enjoyable to plan my wedding! My pictures turned out beautiful with the backgrounds of trees and landscapes. All of the staff were so helpful and kind the day of the wedding! They was plenty of parking for our guests and we hired a company to pick us up and it was just a short drive to downtown Omaha.

Stress free wedding

John and Ray were amazing. The venue was beautifully decorated from the gate to the pergola. we originally had looked into a wedding planner. This would have been a waste of money! John was the most thorough and detailed person I have ever met! He covered everything! He had emergency plans for every situation. John's professionalism was unmatched. His experience and knowledge of his venue was on display from the moment we arrived. He dictated the pace of the evening perfectly. We went with the highest package for everything they had and nothing disappointed. The prime rib was delicious, the drinks were great and the DJ was amazing. The DJ was included in the package too! We went with a photo mirror and cold spark fireworks provided by the DJ and it was a great addition. I can't say enough for this venue. I loved every minute of the experience.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
