Most Beautiful Venue and Amazing Experience!

I had the most wonderful experience with this venue from start to finish! It’s absolutely the most gorgeous venue that I’ve seen or have ever been to. I actually had this venue picked out before we got engaged and toured 3 others before it and it just wasn’t even a comparison. The staff is amazing, they help make sure you’re on track with everything you need from beginning to end. During our wedding, my wedding planners Kendhal and Danielle were phenomenal! They and the staff decorated for me, made sure everything was in place, and ensured the pace was set for us all to be on time for photos, ceremony, reception, etc. We even had some rowdy groomsmen and she made sure to keep them in line but also let them enjoy themselves. I have since talked to other new brides who stressed the entire day because they didn’t have a wedding planner and things didn’t go as smooth as planned but I had absolutely nothing that stressed me out on our wedding day. Things went better than I even expected. It was an amazing experience overall and I would recommend this venue to anyone! I have received so many compliment about our wedding and the venue and we got gorgeous photos. All of their suggested vendors are top notch as well! If you are looking for an absolute dream wedding, choose Castleton Farms!

Klippel Wedding

Thank you to everyone who made our wedding day a smooth event. We are thrilled with how everything turned out! The beautiful venue truly helped bring our wedding day celebration to life. Everyone involved was such a great person to work with.Throughout the reception and all through the planning process, we were able to relax because we knew every detail would be taken care of. In spite of the rainy weather, everyone was able to pull off the plan B at the last few remaining hours. It turned out even more perfect. We continue to receive comments from guests about how amazing everything was.

It's a dream to work with a team like Castleton Farm's!

Working with Castleton Farm's is a dream! Danyelle and Kendahl are so thorough and diligent to make sure the couples' days are as perfect and seamless as possible. Every dollar invested in them is honored by their tireless, hard work. They handle hiccups with ease, their execute a couple's vision with accuracy, they manage dynamics with grace, they think ahead and consider every detail, and they're the biggest cheerleaders through the entire design, planning, and day of processes...but not just for their couples, for their vendors too. Because of their hard work, we're able to thrive as photographers and serve our couples well.

Exceeded Expectations

This venue is absolutely beautiful as is, but the staff made it even better. Every little detail was tended to from the moment we chose the venue to the very end of our wedding. No stone was left unturned! On our planning day they thought of details that I didn’t even consider. And when weather threatened our perfect cocktail hour, Danyelle suggested moving inside the manor and it was PERFECT. Everyone made us feel like our wedding would be the one that they would remember and made us feel so special. I had no complaints or concerns through our entire process. And for being an out of state bride that is HUGE for me. I could not recommend Castleton fast enough to anyone. It’s absolutely perfect

Most Amazing Venue / Experience!

Our experience with Castleton and Danyelle was amazing. From the very first visit with my daughter and her then fiance, to the moment we left the venue on her wedding day - every step of the way we were so pleased. It was just the perfect wedding day! Each and every vendor Danyelle recommended did an amazing job. The set-up was stunning! So many guests have told me it was a fairy tale wedding - the most beautiful wedding they'd ever attended. I certainly highly recommend Castleton!

The Day of Our Dreams!

We spent 2 years planning our wedding day with Danyelle and the Castleton Team! She made the planning process so smooth and accomplished our every vision. Their recommended team of vendors and the relationship they have with them made our day top of the line. But what really makes Castleton next level is their team of capable people who come together on your actual wedding day and take care of EVERY SINGLE detail and worry! Not a single person in our wedding party or in our families were tasked with anything on our wedding day, other than soaking up every moment. Castleton's team tackled every aspect of wedding day execution, and being able to relax and enjoy our entire wedding day stress-free was what made our Castleton Experience so worth it!

Dream Come True

If you want a beautiful wedding, this is the place to be. My husband and I are from Detroit, Michigan. This venue is what we pictured to get married at, but better than we imagined. The staff especially our director, Danyelle was amazing. We went through a pandemic where everything was canceled and Danyelle handled everything so well. Every bride deserves someone like her to help plan and work through your big day. I can't thank this beautiful place enough, along with the amazing, kind staff, and all those who helped us make our big day come to life.

Breathtaking Wedding Venue & Amazing Planning Experience!

If you are on the fence about whether Castleton Farms is the place you want to get married or not, I suggest you make a point to visit their property! Upon arrival, you are blown away by such a beautiful landscape. This is only made better by Danyelle's sweet personality, once she greets you at the top of the Manor steps. Danyelle was a pleasure to work with - from the moment we reached out, she took interest in what we were looking for on our special day and really cared about the personal side of things. She helped us with being very intentional in all decisions we made. Not one time during the planning process did we feel behind or lost as Danyelle was always there to answer any questions and provide any information we asked about. On our wedding day, it did rain; however, you would have never known that "plan B" was happening as a result. We were blown away by the result of moving our wedding indoors - all of our guests commented on the beauty of our day and were impressed at their experience. This was all made possible by Danyelle and her team! At every turn on the day of, Danyelle was there to help make sure everything was running smoothly and ask how we were doing. She truly cares to make your perfect vision come to life, and we can't think of anyone else who should be trusted to do the same for you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

As a musician I visit a lot of venues. I've played Castleton Farms several times over the past few years and their grounds are simply astonishing. My personal favorite is the vineyard, as it's cozy and easy to decorate, but all the different areas on the property are wonderful. And Darla is so very helpful with planning!

Bryan Allen Photography Bryan Allen Photography Wedding Photographers

As I preferred photographer at Castleton, I have the great fortune of shooting many weddings at this stunning venue. Not on is the venue spectacular and unique in this region, but Darla and her team know how to do it right. No detail is left to chance and your wedding day will go off without a hitch as a result. I could not recommend another venue or planning team more highly.
