    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.

    Castleton Farms's reply:

    Thank you so much Tailynn! It was our pleasure! You were a stunning Bride and we couldn't be more excited for you two! Congratulations!

    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!

    Absolutely Perfect!

    Our wedding was absolutely perfect! Every small detail was executed perfectly. We could not have asked for a better day. It was stress free and all we had to do was show up. Danyelle and her team are truly amazing at what they do. Our guests have not stopped talking about how much fun they had. It was an absolute fairytale!

    Danyelle made this day truly so effortless for us, and an absolute dream. I cannot thank you, and the rest of the staff enough. You will never regret having your most special day here.

    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!

    Castleton Farms's reply:

    Lindsey,
    Thank you so much for your kind words! We loved working with you from the very beginning, and we loved seeing the love that you two share! I am so excited for you guys to get travel and experience this journey together, keep us posted on your travels! -Danyelle

    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.

    Castleton Farms's reply:

    Christina, Gosh lady, I don't even know where to start! Thank you so much for the amazing review, I can't tell you how much it means to me, as well as my team! You and Kevin are just amazing, and I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to meet you and work with you. Your pictures turned out amazing, and I just love seeing them pop up on social media! Please keep in touch, and enjoy your first Married Christmas! :) Danyelle

    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!

    Gorgeous Venue and Amazing Team

    Castleton Farms really has it all. With a beautiful venue and responsive team, my wedding was everything I dreamed of. The day was stress free and ran so smoothly thanks to Danyelle and her team. I did not have to lift a finger on my wedding day and everything was taken care of from start to finish. I cannot recommend this venue enough!

    Danyelle McGrath. The real MVP

    I cannot say enough about Danyelle McGrath at Castleton Farms. This place is an ABSOLUTE DREAM of a wedding venue, But Danyelle, SHE IS THE REASON TO BOOK THIS VENUE. I attempted to plan this wedding as a healthcare worker during the covid-19 pandemic. Danyelle felt like a close personal friend during the entire process, she took all of the stress away. The planning process was easy and the day of staff was perfect they were helpful and Courteous at all times. Taylor and Danyelle ran everything so perfectly the day of. They communicate efficiently. Taylor knew how to step in and handle anything That was thrown at her, including making sure the bride was hydrated throughout pictures. I was relaxed and I genuinely can claim that my wedding day was the best day of both mine and my husbands life. The venue by itself is so beautiful, you cannot go wrong at Castleton Farms. We had a 94 year old grandma as a flower girl and Castleton was able to transport her anywhere on the property. I promise you. The Castleton experience is exactly what you want out of your wedding day. They are THE BEST. Whoever didn’t rate this venue 5 stars is wrong.

    Danyelle McGrath: Making Dreams Come True

    If you want to feel like your best friend is planning your wedding, choose Castleton Farms and Danyelle. I planned my wedding while working through my masters in physician assistant studies which was the perfect recipe for stress. Danyelle made every decision smooth. She was a calming, collected presence and somehow she knew exactly what my vision was for our wedding day. My mom and I appreciated her honesty and dedication to making our wedding the actual happiest day of our lives. Danyelle treats you like one of her friends from the beginning and building that trust made all the difference for me. It alleviated the majority of my stress and made me feel like I truly had someone who cared about what our wedding day would mean to us. I had zero stress during our wedding week because Danyelle had everything done and in place. Instead of feeling stressed and pulled in a million directions as some couples experience, our wedding week and wedding day was filled with laid back, quality time with friends and family. My fiancé and I truly enjoyed ourselves at our wedding and the week leading up to it. We were able to fully immerse ourselves in each moment because Danyelle took care of everything. If that sounds like how you hope your wedding goes, make it a reality and give her a call. She is truly beyond the best!

    Amazing! Could not have been better!

    The Castleton team is amazing! Andy and I are very busy people, we never have weekends where we aren’t going somewhere or doing something so we chose Castleton because it took a lot of responsibility off of us. Danyelle and the team took care of everything. Two or three planning meetings and some phone calls were all it took to have a beautiful wedding. We did have a few last minute changes due to unforeseen circumstances and the ladies were able to adapt to our new circumstances easily. The rehearsal was a breeze and the day of could not have gone any better! I was a bit worried about some of the items we omitted due to the budget but we listened to Danyelle's advice on what we should leave and what we should keep and all of her suggestions were spot on as well as kept us in budget. We also had several guests with very specific food needs and the Castleton team made sure it was all taken care of. We absolutely could not have asked for a better wedding!

    Absolutely Perfect

    Truly, I cannot say enough about Castleton Farms, Danyelle, and Taylor. I had always heard that planning a wedding was a dreaded and stressful process. However, with Castleton, that certainly was NOT the case. The entire process was smooth and so enjoyable! From our initial tour to the moment we left the property on our wedding night, Danyelle and Taylor made the entire experience a dream. Their experience and professionalism are unmatched. They were even able to produce our dream wedding with a last minute change of plans due to a significant amount of rain. Truly, how our wedding played out was even better than we originally planned, and that is all due to Danyelle and Taylor's forethought and skill. Our wedding party was able to just relax and hangout ALL DAY prior to our ceremony because everything was taken care of by the amazing staff. Our guests could not stop talking about the beauty of the ceremony, the grounds, the reception, and how seamless the whole event was. It does not get any better than Castleton Farms! I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to have our wedding there! You guys are the ABSOLUTE BEST!

    The Perfect Venue

    Such a beautiful venue with so many options to pick from! Not only is the property beautiful, but the coordinator and staff are top notch. My wedding day was truly a relaxing day. Castleton took care of every little thing I could of ever imagined. It was so important to me that my family would also get to enjoy the day and not worry about various responsibilities that pop up throughout the day. Castleton made this possible and I’m so glad everyone got to enjoy the day just as much as I did. Can’t recommend them enough!

    If Heaven were a Venue

    I could probably sit here and write a hundred page essay on why Castleton and their staff provide the most perfect venue around, but i will try to keep it to the high points for the sake of time! For starters, Danyelle and Taylor made this process fun, simple, and amazing, and as a groom, that's all you can ask for in wedding planning! They covered every little detail to perfection, and their service and attention to detail was to perfection. I truly could not imagine going through this process without them! From the planning days, to rehearsal, to showtime, everything went perfectly, and they helped provide the wedding of our dreams! The venue itself is truly breath taking. Every aspect of their grounds are perfect, and the guests loved to roam around and get to enjoy that as well. There was not one flaw in the entire process with them, and I'm not sure why anyone would choose anyone else to help plan and execute their special day! Castleton Farms is by far the best venue around in East Tennessee!

    Wes, Thank you so much!!!! We thoroughly enjoyed working with you and Mikia and your wedding was beautiful!

    Wedding Venue/Event Planners

    Danyelle, Taylor, and the entire Castleton team were the dream team of weddings. They paid attention to every detail no matter big or small and were there the entire time through planning and execution. Planning a wedding during covid-19 wasn’t easy but it was for this team. They never stressed or freaked out and were so happy and encouraging the whole time. There was a bad storm during our rehearsal but if you weren’t there you never would have known. They had a plan for everything and made me feel so relaxed the whole time. No idea was too crazy for them, and they always had a smile on their face while providing the best planning tips. It says a lot when three days later you and your hubby both say you wouldn’t change one single thing about your wedding day. That’s literally how perfect it was because of the Castleton team.

    Perfection

    Danyelle made the planning easy, from choosing vendors to table place settings, she guided us through the process seamlessly. She and Taylor pulled the wedding day off without a glitch.........Perfection. If we needed it - one or both of them were there. I asked Danyelle for a fairytale....and that's what my daughter got! Can't say enough good things about this amazing experience!

    Sarah & Ryan 3-7-20

    Danyelle and her team made this day so easy and a truly enjoyable experience! As someone who does not usually like to plan large events, the ease of working Danyelle and the prefered vendors made me sad I'm no longer planning my wedding! The venue was absolutely perfect and I had known I wanted to get married there since my sister did in 2013! The carriage house we perfect for the feel and atmosphere I was going for at the wedding. Overall it was such a wonderful experience and I am sad that it is over!

    Upon meeting Danyelle, she was very polite, calming, professional and thorough in every detail of the wedding planning process. On our wedding day it was raining on and off all day and Danyelle held off on making a call on the rain plan until much later in the day than originally planned because she wanted everything to go the way we had planned. She also made many more decisions based on her judgement to ensure that our day was the best day of our lives and it was! We really appreciated every single detail Danyelle made sure was accomplished that day including draping she did by herself. 10/10 would recommend Danyelle and Castleton Farms was absolutely beautiful! All of the recommended vendors were beyond amazing! We could not have imagined a better time with our family and friends ❤️

    I had the lovely experience of photographing a recent wedding with the amazing Darla Walker of Castleton Events as the event planner. There was no detail left untouched and she went so far above and beyond to provide the bride with an enchanting wedding. Her staff was beyond professional and even went above the demands of their positions to ask if I or my 2nd shooter needed help in any way. I have never been apart of a more amazing event. I highly recommend you hire Darla as your event planner for a Castleton wedding or any other venue she will demand the upmost performance from all vendors and ensure your dreams really do come true. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of working with your team!

    I simply cannot say enough about Darla Walker and her team at Castleton Events - they are truly incredible! From the moment my husband and I met Darla, we knew instantly we were in good hands. I always felt as if we were her number one priority and always felt taken care of. A couple months into wedding planning, it was very clear that what my vision was for my wedding was different than what my mother had in mind. I felt like we were at stand still in the planning process, but then came along Darla. She is truly a fairy godmother in that she took two completely different styles and combined them beautifully! I knew it couldn’t have been easy working with a bride and a mother who have such different opinions or ideas, but Darla truly was amazing throughout the entire process and created a dream wedding that we both loved!

    The day of our wedding, she was constantly checking up on me and my girls - making sure we ate something, had drinks if we were thirsty, had our dresses all steamed, etc. She went way above and beyond for me as a bride as well - even while getting ready, she helped me get my shoes, helped bustle my dress, and even when a strap on my dress snapped at the reception - she was immediately there to pin it back into place like nothing ever happened. I could go on and on about how wonderful Darla is, but that would take a while! The best way I can summarize Darla is that I always felt like her presence was constant. She was always a call or a text away, and on my wedding day she was with me every time I needed her. She and Castleton Events made my wedding truly a day I will never forget. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I highly recommend Darla and her team to any bride anywhere, you’ll be glad you did.❤️

    Castleton Farms's reply:

    Siobhan, Thank you so much for your kind words. You were truly a joy to work with. I wish you and Stephen nothing but happiness for years to come. Love you sweetheart, D.Walker

    Darla Walker and the staff at Castleton events is amazing!! From our first meeting until the day of our daughter’s wedding they went above and beyond to make sure every dream she had for her wedding came true. Castleton Farm is so beautiful and from the moment you enter the property you know something very special is in store. Darla Walker and the staff at Castleton events went above and beyond to make sure every detail for our daughter’s wedding was perfect. From our first meeting to the Wedding day Darla and staff were available to answer our questions and provide any guidance we needed. This gave my daughter and I the time (and peace of mind) to enjoy the entire wedding planning process. I would recommend anyone that is looking for a wedding/event coordinator to contact Darla Walker at Castleton events to make your wedding day or event is your dream come true. As my daughter said... “Darla is my fairy godmother and she made sure every detail was perfect for our wedding. It was the best day ever and it was all I had ever dreamed of and more!! I just wished that day would never end!”

    I highly recommend if you are planning a wedding on the Castleston Farms property you invest in the full experience. We stayed the night before the wedding in the Mannor on the property. What a wonderful experience. We were able to wake up refreshed and ready to start our big day. Nothing felt rushed. We enjoyed a brunch together, hair and make was done on site the photographer came and captured special moments throughout our special day. The guys met on the property that morning to enjoy skeet shooting and a biscuit bar. After the skeet shooting they were able then to relax and get ready for the day in the grooms quarters. The staff is wonderful and accommodating and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. Darla Walker the wedding planner stayed with us every step of the way to make sure everything went as planned. We could not have asked for a better experience.

    I was the matron of honor in my sister in laws wedding and I must say castleton was amazing ! I have been in 5 weddings this year two of which have been at castleton and I can’t express how wonderful my experience as a bridesmaid was there. I was honored to be a part of the first showing all the way through to the wedding and Darla and her staff were always willing and available to help and not only that, they truly put their hearts into each wedding! Thank you for making my sister in law and friends wedding so special and perfect.

    What an unbelievable start to our daughter’s ‘Happily Ever After’! When deciding on a venue for our daughter’s wedding, our first visit was to Castleton. In saying that…. No other venue compared! The beauty of Castleton is undeniable and because of that, the decision of a venue was quickly made and the planning began!!
    As Mother-of-the-Bride, I have ‘zero’ artistic talent and work full-time. The bride was a full-time Grad student with a part-time job. Needless to say, we had little planning time and needed a lot of help! Darla Walker and her assistant Kelly were absolute treasures from the beginning! The bride had only a slight vision of colors and theme but nothing further so from those two details, Darla took over! There are no words to describe Darla Walker and her staff. I honestly know that my daughter’s wedding wouldn’t have been half of what it was if not for this venue, it's staff and Darla Walker.
    The wedding day began beautifully with breakfast provided downstairs in the manor. The entire day was just magical! I did not have to worry about any detail because I knew Darla and Kelly were handling EVERYTHING!! The wedding went perfectly and the reception was amazing!! Guests were so complimentary in how the wedding and reception just flowed from one event to the next and there were never any awkward moments of confusion. Darla had everything timed perfectly and kept to that schedule and that meant so much because those are things that, as a parent, you can’t control. Her vision and attention to detail are undeniable. Because of Darla and her staff's hard work, the wedding was even featured in the Pink Bride Magazine! I would recommend Castleton, Darla Walker, and its vendors to anyone!

    Our wedding was so amazing! Darla and her team are rock stars. As a wedding/event planner myself, I was a little nervous to hand over the reigns on my big day, but Darla made it easy. Everything was beautiful and went seamlessly thanks to their help and professionalism! I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in East TN and their design services to anyone getting married anywhere. Thanks for everything, Darla

    I was a Castleton Farms Bride and I would STRONGLY recommend this location and our wedding planner, Darla Walker, to anyone! We reserved the entire property for the weekend and we had the Bridal Luncheon, Rehearsal Dinner, Ceremony, and the Reception on the property all planned by Darla. We truly had the dream team. I could not have asked for any more on such a special and important day. They were extremely professional and I cannot thank everyone enough!

    If you want a first class wedding to remember - this is your place! Well worth the money - it is exceptional! Darla and the staff look after your every need from the first day they meet you till you are leaving after the wedding! My daughter, Cady and her husband, Alex had the dream wedding she always wanted - and a little rain did not dampen the spirit at all! All our family and friends were impressed and said it was the "most beautiful" wedding they had seen! and the "party of the century!". Let them make your dreams come true!

    Darla and her team of experienced event planners are the best in this region, bar none. First of all, they have impeccable taste! I tend to be a bit of a control freak, but I knew my wedding was in great hands. I could totally let go and enjoy not only a stress-free wedding day, but also a stress-free planning process! Darla became my biggest advocate, making sure my vision came to life. She truly pours her heart and soul into each bride and their event. She also made all of the decision-making so easy (and every bride knows there’s A LOT of decision making to do!). No detail goes left unnoticed with her. The entire team is willing to do anything and everything to ensure your wedding day is everything you’ve dreamed it would be. They provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience that every bride deserves on her special day. I would choose Castleton Events over and over again!

    Castleton's planning process under Darla's leadership is incredible. I worked in event planning for two years and now work in PR where events are still very much part of my day-to-day, and I'm thrilled at the efficiency and organization of her team. I am planning my wedding from Maryland, and as a detail-oriented planner myself, Castleton has given me the opportunity to enjoy the planning process with zero stress. We did one big planning day where all of my vendors were involved and we knocked out almost all of our planning immediately. I came with a vision, but they tweaked it and took it to another level. Planning from out of town is scary at first, but with Castleton I feel completely comfortable. Though I am far away, Darla and I are both set up on a wedding planning software that organizes everything in a really intuitive interface. I can log in here anytime to add an idea, tweak my guest list or send her a note. And did I mention Darla is a complete gem? I'm sure she connects with every bride on a personal level as we have, and I'm so happy to have her!

    I cannot say enough about Darla and her team. She has honestly been through everything with me! Several years ago when my engagement fell apart she drove nearly an hour to my home to help me cancel everything and reassure me. Now as I'm engaged to the love of my life I couldn't think of a single other person I could possibly work with. Darla is extremely detail oriented and has a vision that no one else has. Even when I couldn't make sense of my taste, Darla could. Five stars all around for this amazing woman!

    Darla Walker is Wonder Woman! One of the best decisions we made was asking her to be a part of planning our wedding. She was so wonderful to work with and very professional. She really took our ideas and dreams to the next level and delivered more than we ever thought possible. Darla didn’t just give us the “Pinterest” wedding, she expanded on our vision and created something absolutely unique to reflect the personalities of my husband and I. She made our wedding so personal and there isn’t a single detail that I would change! Darla made the entire process from start to finish one of the most fun experiences of my life and absolutely stress free! While working with Darla we gained a friend, not just another wedding vendor! Darla and her team at Castleton Events worked so hard and truly gave me the dream wedding! My husband, family, and I all love Darla and can’t speak highly enough of her and would without a doubt recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

    Darla Walker and the team at Castletown Events are amazing! My daughter was married in October of 2016 and Darla was essential in making her dream wedding come true. Darla was professional and fun and always took the time to listen to what my daughter envisioned and then perfectly executed every detail. The vendors that Darla suggested in assisting us were excellent. She is on top of trends and had lots of cool suggestions to add to our event. Our guests had a wonderful time and we received many compliments on how the wedding day reflected the personalities of the bride and groom. As we reflect back on our daughter’s special day we wouldn't change a thing - we had a wonderful experience with Darla and we gained a friend! I would highly recommend Darla and her staff to design and plan a one of a kind special event!

    I would highly recommend this venue to all couples searching for the most professional, personable, and talented group of people that this venue offers. I was a bridesmaid in my sister-in-laws wedding at Castleton Farms and was absolutely amazed at the talent and work this team can produce. I was actually a bit jealous that I didn't use this venue for my own wedding 2 years ago. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the details that the team puts into these weddings is mind blowing. The staff is so professional, yet VERY personable and sweet. As soon as we arrived at the venue for the rehearsal dinner, I immediately knew that this wedding was going to be something I had never been apart of before. As a bridesmaid, I was invited to stay the night at Castleton with the rest of the bridesmaids and bride. We all felt like princesses in this huge castle being waited on hand and foot. When we woke up, we had breakfast waiting on us. When we needed anything, Darla and the staff were right there to help. When we had an emergency, they immediately had a solution. This experience was so memorable and will always be something I remember. As far as the wedding day goes, it was AMAZING! The wedding was flawless and the vendors Castleton uses are excellent. Samuel Franklin is the best florist, hands down. Never in my life have I seen someone so talented at what he does. If someone asked me where they should get married at, my first and only answer will always be "Castleton Farms." Even though I was never a Castleton Bride, the experience as a bridesmaid is all I needed to feel the royalty that this venue produces. Thank you to the entire team for making this day special for not only the Bride and Groom, but for the entire wedding party and family!

    My experience with Castleton was one I will absolutely never forget. Planning a wedding while still in finishing up college could have very well been a nightmare, but Castleton made it an enjoyable breeze. They put me in contact with the very best vendors that fit the exact idea of what I wanted for our special day. From the time Patrick and I got engaged, until the time we left our reception, every detail Castleton touched was perfection. They took such great care of myself and my bridesmaids making the wedding day fun from beginning to end. I've dreamed of having a fairytale wedding from the time I was a little girl, and they truly made it a dream come true.

    After my first meeting with Darla back in May of last year, I knew that she was someone I could trust to make my wedding everything I dreamed of. Darla and the rest of the Castleton staff were there with me through the entire planning process. Since I travel throughout the spring and summer (I am gone for about 4 months straight), there is no way that I would have been able to do it without them. I loved that they spent the time to get to know me and my husband in order to give us the feel for our wedding that we wanted! It was truly a pleasure working with them and I would recommend a Castleton wedding to anyone and everyone!

    Choosing Castleton Farms for my wedding/reception venue was the absolute best decision I could have made! After spending months researching numerous venues in the area I quickly came to realize that nothing came close to this place. It may be in the middle of no where but don't let that fool you. The grounds and facilities are immaculate! What impressed me the most though was the Castleton Farms team. This group of professionals travels internationally to stay ahead of the game on the latest bridal trends. My wedding couldn't have been in more capable hands. Not only are they amazing, they also work with the BEST vendors in East Tennessee. There wasn't one vendor I had that I wasn't completely happy with. They all came together to make my wedding experience better than I could have ever imagined!

    Where do I even begin with my experience with Castleton? I chose Castleton as our wedding venue not because of the premier location in the East Tennessee valley or because of the glamorous gardens on property, but simply, because of Darla. I’ve worked with Darla over the past year, so I have seen her sometimes literally bend over backwards for her brides to ensure they get the day they’ve always dreamed of. With Darla and her team behind you, Castleton isn’t just a venue where you set up your DIY projects on the day of, stay for a few hours, and clean up when the party is over. Darla is 100% on top of things from day one and will end up being your #1 cheerleader throughout the planning process.

    When Corey and I first got engaged, I honestly didn’t think Castleton was going to be the venue for me. My style was more whimsical and bohemian than most Castleton weddings, so I figured I should look around at my other venue options. However, within about five minutes of this consideration, Darla caught onto my vision and helped me dream up my ideal wedding, all at Castleton. We would have a simple ceremony in the skeet field and reception in the Vineyard Gardens with bistro lights strung all about – both which have never been done before on such a scale. I didn’t even hesitate when deciding this was exactly the direction I wanted to go, and I had zero doubt in my mind Darla would bring my vision to life.

    Long story short, I would choose Castleton again and again. Excellence is the standard, and the experience is unmatched. Even when I tried to hide it, Darla could read the stress on my face and she continued to confidently reassure me, “I’ve got this!” And boy, did she have it. She made sure I knew, during the planning, that my style was not her style, but you could’ve fooled me when I saw what she came up with on the day-of. It all came together SO perfect, exactly how I had imagined. I owe it all to you, Darla. Thank you for the best experience of my life.

    I honestly cannot say enough good things about our experience at Castleton. The manicured grounds and the beauty of the venue speaks for itself. No matter where you walk, you encounter God's creation in its splendor. What a beautiful place to begin your life as husband and wife. Our experience with Darla was everything that we had hoped for. My daughter lives 6 hours away and we knew her schedule would permit very little opportunity to be in Knoxville to plan her wedding. The organization and structure that Darla has put in place allowed my daughter to feel she was informed and able to orchestrate the planning of her big day from 6 hours away. The Vendor Day experience knocked out so many decisions in one day and was instrumental in decreasing the stress associated with the planning process. The Wedding Day itself was so enjoyable because of Darla and her wonderful staff. They communicate with each other seamlessly. Her take-charge approach meant that we could enjoy each moment as it came, simply doing and being where we were instructed to be. Priceless!! - Linda

    Castleton Farms is an amazing place to get married. I can say that from personal experience. My wife and I live in Louisiana but wanted to have a beautiful Tennessee wedding. My wife wanted to have a fairytale wedding and that is exactly what she got. The grounds are exquisite and the service is impeccable. Planning a wedding from an entirely different state was terrifying but our wedding planner, Darla, made everything perfect. When the big day arrived, the staff at Castleton Farms made my wife and I feel like royalty! The whole event was amazing. I cant think of one thing that we would have done differently. I definitely recommend Castleton Farms.

    Castleton Farms is hands-down the most beautiful venue that could ever be selected for a wedding. The landscaping is immaculate and flawless. The facilities are stunning and breathtaking. For memories that will last a lifetime, this is the venue to use. It is impossible to walk on the grounds and not be impressed or fall in love. When we initially started "wedding shopping" for my daughter's upcoming nuptials, after we visited Castleton Farms, all other venues paled in comparison. All little girls dream about their "fairy tale wedding" and this is exactly how the event came off --- flawless and perfect. The day of the ceremony and the ceremony itself were well planned and orchestrated. The Castleton staff is very experienced and they work together seamlessly and harmoniously to conduct all the details of the day (the preparation, the pre-wedding photos, keeping things on schedule, etc.) as well as the ceremony and reception. The Castleton staff exhibits the precision and execution of a detailed military exercise with the goal of making it a stress-free event to be enjoyed. The day of the event my daughter felt like royalty --- which is exactly what we wanted for her. The perfect day. The perfect memory. The perfect way to begin a marriage.

    Castleton Farms is an absolutely spectacular venue. The staff is always more than willing to help and work with their couples. Darla and April truly helped make my wedding day special and stress-free. I task you to find more beautiful and picturesque scenery at another venue. Organization and planning, friendly faces, a beautiful location, and so much much more is what you will receive if you choose to become a Castleton couple.

    Darla and her staff are AMAZING!! They took all the stress out of planning the most perfect wedding for my daughter and son-in-law. They go above and beyond to make sure that the Castleton experience is TOP NOTCH! The "day of" experience was phenomenal! There was not a question that was not answered immediately! I have heard so many stories about mishaps on people's wedding day, but I honestly could not find anything to complain about even if I tried really hard! Thank you Darla, April, Castleton vendors, and Castleton Farms for the most PERFECT wedding!

    Castleton Farms was the venue for my niece's wedding and it was truly her dream wedding. Everything about our experience with Darla Walker and staff was exceptional. I have the honor of working with these great folks on a regular basis though because I work for All Occasions Party Rentals. Let me say that we were treated like the most special people in the world that day, and every detail was handled with ease, professionalism and care. I personally know that all of Castleton's brides are treated the same. This is a beautiful property with a top-rate staff. From both my personal and professional experiences, I would highly recommend them.

    Castleton Farms is the most beautiful venue I have ever seen! I had the most perfect day. I was able to get ready in the beautiful house and do first glance pictures in the garden. We were married off sight in our church and came back for the reception in the Carriage House. I was able to have my dream wedding thanks to Castleton Farms and Darla. I just got my pictures back and they are beautiful!!

    As the owner of Cheryl McMillan Cake Design I have had the opportunity to work with Darla at Castleton Farms for several years. It has been my pleasure to be associated with such a top-notch venue. Darla and the staff at Castleton Farms go out of their way to give every wedding that special touch.

    As the mother of the bride this past August I was even more pleased with the professional care we received while planning my daughter’s wedding. Castleton Farms is a beautiful venue with excellent staff and I couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience.

    My wedding at Castleton Farms was an absolute fairy tale. With Darla as my wedding planner, I didn't have to worry about anything; everything was promptly taken care of. I STILL get tons of compliments on how stunning my wedding was. Wouldn't change a thing!

    It was a joy to watch Nikki work with you. Darla, you were able to see Nikki's vision and still guide her to remain somewhat reasonable. Nikki felt she was still in control when it mattered yet you were there to take over so she could sit back and enjoy herself. That was obvious when I saw that unrehearsed smile that I love! You were stern when it was needed and gave everyone the feeling that everything was taken care of. No one needed to worry because Darla thought of everything. Thank you Darla for taking such good care of my little girl and help to make beautiful memories for all of us. Can't wait to see the pictures!

    Castleton Farms is where fairytale weddings happen, I know this because that's how our wedding turned out. Every single inch of that property is picture perfect and no matter what areas you use on the property, your wedding is going to be a true fairytale. We did the weekend experience so I was able to sleep in the manor with all my girls and my mom and it was the best! We had such a blast and it made for a perfect wedding morning. Every single detail is taken care of by the wonderful coordinator, Darla! I can't express how amazing this wedding venue actually is, you need to just see it for yourself because like me, when I finally went out to see it in person I fell completely in love and I knew I had to be a Castleton bride. They take such good care of their couples, you'd be crazy not to get married there. Castleton Farms is perfection and my husband and I are so blessed and thankful that we got to celebrate the biggest day of our lives on that property. It was AMAZING!

    Darla Walker and the entire Castleton team were fantastic throughout the entire process. Every step of the process from the vendor day (which was a huge relief and made the "planning" process so much easier), to the design and decoration of the venue and most importantly, to the attention to detail and covering all options. A perfect example was how quickly the Castleton team was able to set up a back-up location when bad weather threatened. I cannot say enough about the professionalism of the Castleton team, and the beauty of the location. We both hope one of our friends gets married there so that we can have an excuse to go back!

    When I first visited Castleton Farms, I was of course, blown away by it's beauty. I knew I wanted to get married there. I'm so glad I did - it was a perfect day. The vendors were beyond what I could have ever asked for, the venue was perfect (in spite of the 85% humidity!) and Mrs. Darla Walker was my angel! I can't emphasize this enough, although I knew Darla would be a big part of my day, I didn't realize just how much. She helped me relax, because I knew everything was being handled. In fact, every time I asked Darla to handle something, she replied, "Already taken care of." That's the kind of person you want beside you on your wedding day!

    The venue speaks for itself, it's perfect in every way. My only complaint? It had to end. Thank you to Castleton Farms and Darla for the perfect weekend.

    It is easy to see how beautiful the venue is, but the passion showed by the staff and all of the vendors .....their desire to provide superb service was very evident and much appreciated. Darla, in particular, was good to all involved. She really does care!
    Thank you, Castleton Farms, for a first class wedding and rehearsal dinner. Everything was simply "outdangstanding".

    Our experience with Castleton Farms for our daughter's wedding was wonderful. We were concerned with the amount and quality of service while looking for a venue since our situation dictated long distance preparations. We could not be happier with the entire process. The property is absolutely beautiful and offers something for everyone. Darla Walker was phenomenal!! She made sure that everything was just as we hoped for... and in many cases exceeded our expectations. Her timely response to every question or concern kept our minds at ease during the entire process. The personal care given to every detail made our daughter's wedding day wonderful and relaxed for all of us. We were able to enjoy each other and the joy of the entire weekend. I would say "Choose Castleton Farms and Darla Walker!" If you are looking for perfect you will find it a Castleton Farms!

    Castleton Farms is fabulous as well as every one of their staff members. My daughter's wedding was a fairy tale wedding. Planning our wedding was simplified by the wonderful wedding planners Darla & Christy. They made sure every detail of my daughters wedding was perfect. They were always available if we had a question, and were always quick to respond to our needs. We live in Missouri and my son-inlaws family is in South Carolina, so we picked Castleton Farms because they were in the middle. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The day of the wedding went perfect. There were no problems or complications, the staff was always there and ready to answer any need we had. I would choose Castleton Farms again if I had the opportunity. We loved working with Darla and Christy, they are amazing wedding planners.

    Castleton Farms will create the wedding of your dreams. I got married June 14, 2014 in the Southern Gardens of Castleton Farms. Darla, the wedding planner, and her staff made the wedding day a breeze for me. They set every thing up, brought hair and make up into the manor so we didn't have to go anywhere, and coordinated all the vendors. They made my bridal party and I feel so calm. I have no regrets, and if I did my whole wedding over... I would go back to Darla. Castleton Farms is amazing!

    Castleton Farms's reply:

    Thanks Chelsea ~ you were an amazing bride to work with. Have a blessed year!

    When thinking back to our special day, how do you even begin to thank the team at Castleton Farms? We were married on June 7, 2014 and would give anything to relive our Castleton Farms wedding over and over.

    From the moment we met Darla Walker about a year before our wedding, we instantly felt confident in her abilities to lead us in the direction we wanted to go with our wedding. What we did not expect was the relationships that would build with Darla, her family, and her incredible staff. If I could just put into words the thankfulness our families have for the work that Darla, Christy, and the other Castleton Farms staff members did to create a night of sheer perfection, you would be reading for quite some time.

    As we began our Castleton experience, we were greeted by some of the most creative, wildly and phenomenally talented vendors. Kelly Webster with All Occasion Catering, Gina Changas with All Occasion Party Rental, Corky with True Grip Lighting, Ty and Sarah Pattison with The Happy Envelope, Cheryl McMillian with The Perfect Ending, Chip Fuller with Special Notes Entertainment ~ DJ, and Jamie Walker and Wendy Thorne with Bangs and Blush were just the foreword for the dreams that would come to life. This incredible team of exclusive vendors became family to us! Pinterest became an obsolete need after meeting this team!

    Two days before our wedding there was a 50% chance of rain. While that is every bride's worst fear when her wedding is planned for outside and her heart and every dream she had was outside, we made the decision to move to the rain plan. 100 percent, rain or shine, I wish we had planned it this way from the beginning! We literally had to do NOTHING to prepare/change/implement for the rain plan. Darla and her incredible staff did EVERYTHING!!!!! It was more beautiful than anything I ever chose myself! I am so thankful and proud to be a Castleton bride and to have an extended family in East TN!

    Castleton Farms's reply:

    Lauren ~

    What can I say....you have been such a joy to work with! You will go down as one of "my favorite Castleton Brides". Your JOY is infectious and you will be missed!

    Our experience with Castleton Farms was beyond excellent. I was planning the wedding long distance from Los Angeles, which could have been a nightmare, but the Castleton staff, specifically Darla and Christy, were there for me at all hours any day of the week, providing the ultimate support in whatever capacity I needed it.

    The venue itself is magnificent, straight out of Southern Living. I looked at venues in LA, New York, Nashville and in East Tennessee; Castleton was my top choice because of its physical presentation, the excellent reputation of its planning and production services, and its geographic nearness to my elderly family members. It was the total package with multiple gorgeous venues on property (we had the whole property for the weekend, but there are various packages and a good price range), built in wedding planning, superb day-of production, as little or as much hand holding as you want, and a selection of established, quality vendors who already have relationships and extensive experience with the property. I was looking for a venue similar to South Carolina's Boone Hall Plantation; Castleton Farms blows the Boone Hall Plantation out of the water.

    Darla, the Executive Director, is the heart and soul of this venue and is the genius mastermind behind the magic that is Castleton. There was no issue too big or too small for her; she earned my full confidence months before the wedding and solved every problem I had before I even knew I had it.

    I could not recommend this venue more highly, and I can also heartily recommend the following of the vendors they use: All Occasions Catering (Kelly blew it out of the water, was the best vendor contact we had), All Occasions Rentals, Waldorf Photographic Art (Shawn was awesome). If you are looking for great music, I can also highly recommend the harp trio we used for the ceremony, Farr Horizons, and the bluegrass/country band we used for the reception, WestWend.

    I can't say enough about Castleton Farms and the event coordinator, Darla Walker. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and I would highly recommend booking your next event at Castleton! They go above and beyond to make sure your special day is everything you want it to be. The property is gorgeous! Our guests keep going on and on about how our wedding was by far one of the best weddings they have ever attended. I am beyond happy with my decision to get married at Castleton Farms. Thank you to everyone who helped make our wedding day so memorable!

    Castleton Farms is an exceptional venue! Everything from the many venues on property to choose to have your wedding to the staff and vendors, but most of all Darla and her team made every moment and detail so special for us! We cannot thank you enough for this amazing night! From the first meeting to answering so fast with any questions to the outstanding planning and then of course making the night completely flawless for us. Darla makes you feel part of the family and wants to make every moment exceptional! Cannot say enough wonderful things about Castleton Farms! So proud to be a Castleton Bride!

    I can't express how happy I am that I chose to have my wedding at Castleton Farms. The property is breathtaking and is the perfect wedding venue! The wedding coordinator, Darla Walker, is absolutely wonderful to work with. All of the employees at Castleton worked very hard to make sure everything went as planned. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception at Castleton. I would highly recommend getting the weekend exclusive package so you can enjoy the whole property the entire weekend! I can't thank Castleton Farms enough for everything they did to help make our wedding picture perfect!!

    Our wedding at Castleton Farms was absolutely perfect! The venue is one of the most beautiful places I have been to, and I cannot begin to describe the amount of comments I received saying "this was the most beautiful wedding and venue I have ever been to." On the day of the wedding, Darla made sure that I did not have to worry about a thing! At the last minute, we had to plan for rain and Darla and her staff made sure that everything was taken care of despite the weather forecast. Of course, as a bride, there are little details that you forget about and Darla was there to solve every problem along the way! She made sure that our wedding was exactly what we wanted and my husband and I will both say it was the best day of our lives! I definitely recommend all brides to look at Castleton Farms! It was an unforgettable experience and one that I will never forget! I couldn't imagine my wedding be at any other place than Castleton!

    Choosing Castleton farms was the best decision we ever made! Darla allowed our family to relax and truly enjoy our daughter's wedding day, while she took care of every detail! The weather changed our entire venue and Darla and her team along with our vendors, reorchestrated our wedding venue with such professionalism and expertise that our guests thought we'd planned it that way all along. The carriage house was turned in to a quaint, Spirit-filled sanctuary! We were all blessed by our experience!
    Darla is a professional. She expects & requires much from her vendors; yet she delivers the same level of expectation from herself and her team. She is no nonsense when it comes to your event, but trust me, it pays off!! Castleton weddings are at a whole new level! Absolutely no regrets!

    Castleton Farms, Darla Walker and all the vendors that we chose through Castleton were amazing. Darla took care of every detail and made sure everything went as planned. My daughters wedding was everything that she dreamed of. It was a magical day and we have Darla and Castleton Farms to thank for making her dream wedding come to life. If I had another daughter we would definitely have another Castleton wedding.

    I had waited my whole life to get married and had a vision of what I wanted. When it came time to find the venue my husband and I went to many different venues but, none of them seemed to fit what we were looking for. When we came across Castleton Farms I prayed that it looked like all the pictures they had on their website but, it didn't IT LOOKED EVEN BETTER!!! when we did our tour I knew this was the place I wanted to marry the man of my dreams at, but it gets better! They have a wedding coordinator Mrs. Darla Walker who is there with you every step of the way. She listens to every detail even if you feel it is small detail and makes sure that you get what you want on your special day. Without her we could not of had our dream wedding! Also all the vendors are amazing!!! Bangs and blush is a must!!!! Jamie and her team will make you look absolutely amazing on your big day and will also make your bridesmaid look absolutely beautiful! Sam franklin is a must brides for flowers! He made every floral design more than I could ever ask for! They are a must for your big day! All occasions party rentals is absolutely amazing also!!! Would definitely recommend them to any upcoming bride! For your video Bill Waldorf and his team will make sure that every moment of your wedding is captured so you will always have the best day of your life on video and I highly recommend them to any upcoming bride. All occasions catering you can not go wrong they are absolutely amazing and could not of been happier with the food. Most of all I know being a previous bride you want to make sure that your special day is everything you and your husband to be ever dreamed of and you can not go wrong with Castleton farms!! Words can not express how happy Daniel and I were to be a Castleton Farms couple and thank you for making all our dreams come true!!!!!!

    Everything about our wedding was perfect. Although we had change to a rain plan Darla are her crew did an outstanding job getting everything ready. Darla made the weekend so relaxing and fun. We could not have had a better experience for our wedding. Darla is very professional and knows exactly how to run a crew and get a wedding planned and follow through with everything she promised. Darla is awesome!

    Castleton Farms was absolutely perfect! The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. On the day of the wedding the bridal party got to relax and everything was done for us. Darla made planning the wedding stress free and she made sure everything on the big day was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day and will definitely be suggesting this venue to others!

    I would highly recommend having a wedding at Castleton. The property is beautiful, the staff is very professional and on top of things, and its very easy to have a weather back up plan. I utilized Bangs and Blush for bridal party hair and makeup; my only complaint with them was that there was no written pricing (along with some of the other vendors) and my invoice changed when I was unable to do a bride trial run of hair and makeup. I didn't know up front that the price to do the bride's hair and makeup on the day of would increase if I didn't do a trial run, which I didn't have the time to go do.

    I would highly recommend Julie Roberts as your photographer. She is easy to work with and super flexible. She has a great personality and makes the photos fun.

    All Occasion Catering was very easy to work with. The food was delicious.

    Samuel Franklin (florist) was very knowledgeable and creative with the flower arrangements.

    All in all we had a wonderful experience.

    Our experience with Castleton Farms was excellent! Darla Walker, her staff, and the preferred vendors go above and beyond to make your wedding day as personalized and as special as possible. We enjoyed every aspect of the experience from beginning to end. We are so blessed that our daughter was able to be a "Castleton Bride" and have the wedding of her dreams!

    Castleton Farms's reply:

    Janice - Thank you so much for your kind words. Lauren's wedding was absolutely breathtaking. She and Chris are such a perfect match for one another!

    My daughter's wedding at Castleton Farms was absolutely beautiful. Darla was awesome!!! All aspects of the wedding far exceeded my expectations. It really was a fairy tale. I cannot thank Darla, the rest of the Castleton staff and the vendors for making my daughter's day one that she will never forget.

    Castleton Farms's reply:

    Charlotte - you are more than welcome! Brittany was an absolutely gorgeous bride and such a jewel to work with.

    Castleton Farms made our wedding a wonderful experience! They were extremely accommodating and helpful with our needs. The planning process was very thorough and the wedding day went extremely smooth. Everything was taken care of and, as the bride, I did not have to worry about anything that day. Not only was the venue extravagant but the relationships my husband and I made from having our wedding at Castleton were another thing we found ourselves incredibly thankful for. I knew that the staff cared about our wedding and wanted, just as much as we did, to make our special day unforgettable. Sense our wedding day, we have continued to be very thankful that we chose Castleton for our wedding experience.

    My husband and I had our wedding at Castelton Farms on September 22, 2012. We used the property all weekend with our package and had a once in a lifetime experience. Darla Walker, and her staff took care of every last detail and really made our entire wedding weekend including our rehersal, rehersal dinner, bridal brunch, ceremony, reception, and wedding brunch exceptional. I would not have changed one thing about my experience at Castelton Farms and I would recommend not only the venue but almost all of the vendors recommened and provided by Castelton Farms. Just to highlight a few of the best vendors: Bangs and Blush provided makeup and hair for me and more than ten people on my big day and did a fabulous job on everyone, All Occassions Catering created a perfect menu for our rehersal dinner and our reception, and everyone loved it, Jason from All Occassions Party rentals is hands down the best and did the best possible job on every detail of our decor to ensure my vision was perfect, and The Happy Envelope created last minute invites and gift tags for us that were classy, chic, and most importantly origina, and lastly Waldorf Photographyl, even though we are still awaiting our pictures they were wonderful the day of our wedding and I am positive our pictures and videos will be amazing.

    Castleton Farms's reply:

    What a joy you were to work with. Future brides are still referring back to your beautiful event - thank you so much for allowing Castleton Farms to be apart of your day.

    Darla Walker and her team are phenomenal at what they do and very professional. And Castleton Farms is a magical place. From the beginning of the process with selecting vendors, to the last minute curveballs, Darla and her team planned and executed a great event that our guests are still complimenting us on. The golf cart drivers were especially appreciated the day of our wedding and really made guests feel welcomed and catered to. I would recommend this venue to any bride for a truly exceptional experience.

    Castleton Farms's reply:

    Mona...what a joy it was to be able to work with you and your family during the planning process. I will always remember your event with a "smile on my face". Many blessings to you and Shamir.

    It only took one visit to Castleton Farms and I knew it was the perfect place for Blake and I. I absolutely loved the venue and once I saw the Carriage House I knew I found the place that fit my vision for our big day perfectly. From being to end my wedding experience was completely taken care of far beyond my expectations. Darla Walker, the Castleton staff, and vendors took care of everything with excellence which made our wedding truly enjoyable and stress free in every way. I will never be able to express how incredible my wedding was and how thankful we are. They took what I had in my head and brought it to life far better then I had ever dreamed. Everything was amazing and I truly feel blessed to be able to call my self a Castleton Bride!

    Castleton Farms's reply:

    Pamela, thank you for the gracious comments. Although your wedding was the first to experience "rain" at Castleton, everything turned out perfect, didn't it? You were a beautiful bride and one we're delighted to rank among our Castleton Brides. It was especially an honor for us to have Blake, who serves in our country's military, as one of Castleton's Grooms. We thank Blake for his service to our country and thank you for working with us as one of Castleton's interns.
