Best day ever


I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I had my wedding at Searles Castle on 10/16/22 and everything about it was amazing. Our day-of coordinator, Kyle, was wonderful to work with. He was responsive throughout the entire process, extremely flexible, and ensured everything was exactly as we wanted on the day of... not to mention, he never looked even remotely stressed! My bustle broke before the reception and Kyle was by my side coaching my bridesmaids through it.

The venue itself is unbeatable. The food and atmosphere are breathtaking. Seeing a bride pull up in a horse-drawn carriage and later tossing a bouquet out of a tower is not something you'll ever see at another wedding (unless it's at Searles!!). Our guests are saying it was the best wedding they've ever been to.

Thank you Kyle and the Searles team for making our special day more than we could've imagined!

A unique and fabulous experience

What a unique venue! Our guests raved about how unusually interesting the venue was, how much fun they had exploring the space, and how DELICIOUS the food was. I mean, who wouldn’t want to say they got married at a castle? The castle is amazing for photography and we would’ve loved to have spent hours just on our photos- advice from the staff we wished we had heeded. Shaun, Brianna, and Jamie took great care of us and were quick about answering our many emails. On the day of, everything went smoothly and every detail was attended to. Even though we wedded in November, the tent was plenty comfortable. We are so glad we chose the castle for our special day and would do so again in a heartbeat!

Searles Castle - Fairy Tale Venue

Searles Castle provided the enchanting backdrop for our intimate wedding celebration, and we couldn't have been more delighted with our choice. From the moment we set foot on the property, we knew it was the perfect venue for our special day. The team at Searles Castle demonstrated exceptional professionalism and attentiveness, ensuring that every detail was tailored to our preferences.
As we were planning from out-of-state, we appreciated the seamless communication with the venue team, which was conducted virtually. They provided invaluable guidance on vendors and ceremony options, making the planning process stress-free.
On the day of our wedding, the team continued to exceed our expectations. Despite the inevitable wedding day hiccups, they kept us on schedule and ensured a smooth flow of events. The cocktail hour was a delightful interlude, allowing our guests to savor the castle's ambiance while enjoying delicious hors d'oeuvres.
The reception was a culinary delight, with a traditional menu that surpassed our expectations. The Banana's Foster station was a hit, and the After Glow menu provided a perfect late-night indulgence. We wanted to make sure everyone left full as this was one of our top priorities. We succeeded! In retrospect, we probably would not have selected After Glow menu (our celebration was on a weekday and a portion of guests did not make it to the very end) albeit the selections were delicious. However, this minor detail did not detract from the overall excellence of our experience.
The staff's attention to detail was impeccable, from setting up reception tables to managing guest books and gifts. Their professionalism and dedication ensured that our celebration was nothing short of magical.
Our wedding at Searles Castle was a fairy tale come true, and we wholeheartedly recommend both the venue and the exceptional team behind it to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable wedding experience.
