Absolutely Stunning

I couldn’t have chose a better venue for my wedding. It was beautiful with the wood work, hard wood floors, and chandeliers. The staff was easy to work with and attentive if I needed anything. The food was amazing! The ceremony and reception in one location made everything super convenient for my guests! There’s a pub, Christmas shops, a carousel for kids, and an amazing Made in Michigan shop my guests explored while waiting for my reception. I will definitely recommend the Castle to anyone I know that is getting married or looking to host an event

Incredible Kylie

This was our most flawless vendor. We never had any issues with them, from our initial tour to our wedding night. Their prices are incredibly reasonable, and I say that as a professional event planner. The food was delicious, the venue was gorgeous, and every staff member was attentive and friendly. I would recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding, and if I have the chance to work with them again I will.

We recently had our wedding at kings court. We had both the ceremony and reception and it worked out perfectly. Kylie was responsive to all our emails and questions. They had our room set up days in advance. We were able to start decorating the day before and had all day the day of to decorate our room. The food was served on time, the staff was very attentive and helpful. there are tons of great spots throughout cantebury village for photos! We also had yates dropped off and the staff and kings court put it out for us as a late night snack!

Thank you so much kylie for giving us such a great day!

My wedding at Kings Court Castle was perfect from start to finish. Kylie made the booking process so easy and was there to answer every question since then up to my wedding day! She was great to work with and very quick to respond! We had our rehearsal dinner in the pub on site. It was casual with a pizza buffet which is exactly what we wanted! The ceremony was in the chapel. The chapel needs little to no work when it comes to the day of the wedding. It came fully furnished with chair covers. I just added a runner and flowers and it was beautiful! The reception was in one of the all wood rooms upstairs! Our colors looked amazing with the wood as any color would! The staff was attentive and friendly!!! The food was delicious and still steaming hot even after everyone made it through the buffet! The bar didn’t run out of alcohol like other weddings I’ve been to! Everything was perfect. I highly recommed this venue!!!

Over the years I have performed many wedding ceremonies at the Kings Court Castle.. Everyone there is friendly and knowledgeable. The inside the castle is elegant. The chapel is quaint and a bit rustic but, WOW, the vintage stained glass wall that frames the wedding riser is magnificent! When booking the site, one thing to remember is that it is pretty much left up to the couple and the officiant to organize the "Who does what by when"s of the ceremony. Select a well experienced officiant familiar with the site. (Like me! :-)) By selecting the King's Court Castle, you can't go wrong! Feel free to call me for a reference!
