Victor and Misti make it their personal mission to ensure that your wedding day is nothing short of flawless! Any idea or theme you may have is well within their capable hands to create. You should see the Iron Throne from the Game of Thrones series they made by themselves! And that was just for one wedding. Seriously everything these guys do at the Sterling Castle is a labor of love and it shows. Plus I love shooting weddings there :)
Absolutely amazing and caring people! The Sterling Castle is the best venue in Alabama. We have worked with them many times and always had the same fantastic experience. We absolutely cannot recommend them enough.
If you are looking for a special place to get married that is unique and different look no further. Misty is amazing and does everything in her power to make your day run smoothly. She is always checking on us while we are setting up to see if we or our brides need anything. The place is fabulous and the makeup and hair room has the perfect set up and lighting. Go check them out!
