Had my wedding here and it could not have been more perfect! The venue is stunning, the staff are extremely professional and efficient, and the entire event felt like fairy tale come to life. I have nothing but the best things to say about all the staff that helped throughout the process from the visiting tour to check out the morning after. Alyssa is incredible and has the answers to everything wedding related, Steve is wonderful and set up the room block and morning-after breakfast for us, Kathy our banquet manager made sure the day went off without a hitch, Sam managed all the final details for the big day and took into account all the accommodations we required, Serena and Vinny did their utmost to make sure we didn't lift a finger on our special day and managed everything for us. Throughout all the planning there was always someone there to help answer any questions I had and everyone was very easy to get in contact with whether by phone or email. It never took longer than a day to hear back. If anything needed to be scheduled, whether a tour, tasting, cake design it was always done efficiently. All the staff were also incredibly kind and friendly. I never heard a bad word from them or felt any attitude or judgement. Instead they were super accommodating and truly tried their best to make our special day perfect. They even took into consideration all of our covid requests and precautions and made rescheduling our wedding from the year before a breeze. All our guests were stunned with the castle itself, the service throughout the event, the delicious dinner, gorgeous wedding cake and incredible dessert cafe. If you want to have your wedding in a truly magical venue, this is the place for you! -

Neesha K. Sent on 10/27/2020Thank you Thank you
We had our wedding ceremony and lunch at Oheka Castle and it was beautiful. The day was more than we could have asked for. Kathy and Kelly were a pleasure to plan, ensured everything went flawlessly, and I really appreciate how flexible they were. The staff was friendly and very responsive as well! Thank you to Chef Daniel who made a delicious custom cake! -

We had an amazing experience at Oheka. We planned the entire wedding outside and it was a beautiful setting. All the staff were wonderful to work with. We’re very fortunate to have been able to celebrate our marriage at such a unique place. -

Lindsay Sent on 08/15/2018I am a Wedding Planner for MODE Events based in Chicago, and I had a couple who got married at Oheka Castle a few weeks ago. The day-of staff was very helpful. I really appreciated that they had someone from their team designated as a Groom's Attendant/Butler and Bridal Attendant/Lady in Waiting. This really helped me and my team focus on managing all of the vendors and focus on the details of the big day. Everyone was very quick to jump in and help.
I would love to have many more Weddings here. The property is stunning, and I should mention that the food is fantastic, as well. Thank you for everything!!

Melanie Sent on 05/23/2018Oheka was everything I ever could have hoped and dreamed for! First, they were the ONLY venue that we visited that would allow us to guarantee a 125 person minimum, and we visited at least 10 venues and contacted more! We didn't want a huge wedding and Oheka was totally receptive to that. Every other venue we looked at had a 175-200 minimum AT THE SAME PRICE per person and refused to budge! They were always responsive to my emails and calls during the planning process. Starting from the night before the wedding, I was treated like a princess. Our wedding was on a Friday and no one was staying in the Olmsted Suite the night before, so they offered to let me stay in the room the night before the wedding for free! I ran around the huge suite like a maniac I was so excited! The day of the wedding, I was greeted with breakfast and pitchers of iced coffee! The bridal attendant, Patty, was super helpful in running interference with vendors while I was getting ready, talking to my husband for me, and keeping guests away while we were doing our first look. We took pictures on the grounds during cocktail hour and when we were done we were taken to a room and there were plates with some of everything from cocktail hour for us so we didn't miss the food! I was completely taken care of throughout the whole night so I could enjoy myself. My husband and I were also allowed to have all three entrees for dinner! Daniel Andreotti, the pastry chef, is so talented and the dessert cafe and cake were a HUGE hit! We had a brunch the next day with omelet & waffle stations, and the woman who had brought my breakfast the day before remembered how I liked my iced coffee and brought me another pitcher! It's a small gesture, but just proved how much they care for their brides even the day after the wedding! Thank you to Rick, Samantha, Patty, Kathy, JJ, Steve and everyone else who helped me have the greatest, most beautiful and special day of my life!

User2928163 Sent on 12/28/2016My husband and I are both in the military so we had a limited to to put this wedding together. Oheka Castle moved some things around and gave me a date and put everything together for us. I felt like a princess with her prince in this castle. My wedding could not have turned out any more perfect. The staff was by my sid every step of the way making sure it was a flawless day. -
User2271351 Sent on 08/15/2015Absolutely the most amazing place to get married, worth every penny and such an outstanding and kind staff. -
User2184523 Sent on 06/17/2015The staff at Oheka are some of the nicest, most professional people I have met in the wedding planning process. Daniel, the hotel manager, was very responsible and dependable. John and Kelly in sales were extremely nice, straight forward, honest and helpful during the entire process. Although not cheap at all, I felt this was the best money I ever spent to have such a perfect wedding at such a perfect venue. -
User2080372 Sent on 03/28/2015AMAZING! I could not have picked a better place! From the staff, food, rooms available for guests, location and everything in between, they made this process of getting married effortless! Like most brides I had many questions and with the help from Kelly, Christie, Kathy, Steven and Carol they answered all of them regardless of how silly the question was or if they had been asked the same question a million times. Not once did I feel like a burden or they were uninterested and if they were not able to answer the phone they always called or emailed me with the answer to my question. The chef has to be one of the nicest, most genuine people I have come in contact with. One of the best things about getting married at this location is the fact for that day the castle is all yours to enjoy with family and friends (you're not one of 6 wedding happening that day or bumping into other guests that are staying on the property watching your ceremony because a wedding isn't a spectacle it's a private, memorable, and precious moment that is to be cherished). And I can not wait for my wedding day in April!

User2121392 Sent on 05/06/2015I can't express how perfect and beautiful everything my wedding was at Oheka Castle. We have been getting nothing but compliments from our guests about the outstanding food, drinks and service provided. Our guests were so excited to be attending a wedding at Oheka Castle and it definitely exceeded everyone's expectations. Kathy, Patty, John and Charles went above and beyond to ensure that we, along with our parents, had everything we needed that day, allowing us to have a completely stress free time. We spent a year planning our wedding and was reluctant to leave the day of set up in anyone's else's hands but Kathy's team did an amazing job making our wedding vision come to life. Since it is hard for the bride and groom to eat at the wedding, they made sure we had a little bit of everything from cocktail hour before we were introduced to the reception. When the party was over and we went to our bridal suite they had a sample of all of the entres, along with dessert. It was so nice to enjoy our meals together and reflect on the wonderful time we had. I highly recommend Oheka Castle, it was worth every penny! -

User1641969 Sent on 06/02/2014Oheka Castle was our dream location! From start to finish it was a fairytale. Someone from Oheka was always in touch leading up to the wedding, making sure all the details were set. The service day of was incredible, someone always ready and eager to help. The food was delicious and the cake they made was outrageous! I wish I could do it all again. Our friends and family say it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever been to - nothing comes close to Oheka!

User1984625 Sent on 12/26/2014Great for an indoor winter wedding, even though you can't use the grounds (because of all the snow). Very luxurious and photos came out gorgeous. Wedding coordinator and staff you deal with to book are great. I wasn't too happy with my butler service the day off the wedding. My shoes and clutch were taken to our suite (you get the bridal suite with your wedding) and no one told me. So first I thought my purse was taken (mini heart attack, I had lots of cash in there for tips) then I had to walk barefoot all the way back to my room. But, beautiful memories in a great place. The food was amazing. We customized cocktail hour and our cake made on site and was stunning.

User1512349 Sent on 01/19/2014I can't say enough of goods things about Oheka Castle and the staff that works there. From day one when we booked with Rick the staff truly treats you like family! We had our wedding on a Friday and the entire Castle was booked with our family and friends. Daryl in charge of room reservation was great making sure our guests were able to get a room. When you have a wedding at Oheka it is not just a hotel/wedding reception it is a family home and you are treated that way when you are there! The food was amazing and my guest after the cocktail hour could not believe that there was actually going to be more food! Oheka even added a special requests of ours to have mac and cheese and lobster at the cocktail hour, which was what my husband and I had on one of our first dates which made it personnel..thank you Kathy for making sure that happened. The wedding cake and the desserts are amazing as well! Daniel the pastrey Chef is a VERY talented man. He sits down with you about a 2 months before the wedding and designs your cake! And if you can believe it the cake looks gorgeous and tastes even better!! We can't say thank you enough to the sister's Kathy and Patty who were our handlers during the wedding. Anything that we needed they did for us! They made sure everything ran smoothly and everything was absolutely perfect. The owner Gary Melius is a true gentleman who you may see walking his dog around the grounds (his home). We can't say thank you enough to the Oheka Staff making our wedding a true fairy tale! We got married on October 11, 2013 , and our guest are still talking about what amazing experience they all had at Oheka Castle!
