I can’t say enough good things about the amazing Sterling Castle team and the venue, itself. Stunning property. Dreamy location for an elegant, romantic, and magical wedding day. The family that owns it are all incredibly kind, caring people who worked hard to make our day absolutely perfect. Every detail we wanted was tended to with utmost priority and every detail we didn’t even think about was handled beautifully. They went above and beyond for us in any way we needed. Extremely responsive, friendly, professional, and we felt like they truly cared about our wedding day as much as we did. Lots of bang for your buck, you won’t find a more one of a kind team and venue like this. I highly recommend the Sterling Castle for any wedding or event. Alabama’s best kept secret! -

Our wedding was absolutely beautiful. The attention to detail was amazing and Misty truly outdid herself. I nearly cried when I walked into the reception hall the first time because it was so beautiful. Misty was flexible in adding special touches that I wanted. The whole family is very sweet and know what they are doing. I didn't have to lift a finger - I didn't even have to unload my car! I had several guests tell me that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. Even my Dad (who hates weddings) said he was blown away. -

If I could give The Sterling Castle more than five stars, I would! This venue is truly magical. Misty and her staff are beyond incredible. They went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect and that we felt completely stress-free throughout the entire day. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made all the difference. They truly care about their couples, and it shows in every little thing they do.
The venue itself is stunning, from the beautiful outdoor ceremony space to the elegant reception hall. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how gorgeous everything was.
Thank you to The Sterling Castle team for making Stephanie and Wezley’s wedding day everything they dreamed it would be and more. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a flawless experience and unforgettable memories!

We could not have been more pleased with our magical night at The Sterling Castle. From our first visit to the castle to the end of our wedding night, Misty, Victor and the crew were absolutely amazing. Misty was able to take my vision of jewel-toned sophistication and create elegance I could not have imagined. Every member of their team (Brennan, Kelsie, Ashley, Misty, and Victor) and vendors including Emily the Baker, The chef, The DJ, the bartender...they all did their part to ensure our day was seamless and perfect! Our guests raved about everything! You will not regret choosing The Sterling Castle. It was worth every dime we spent! -

There are not enough words to describe how amazing my wedding turned out. Sterling castles is literally a dream. Misty a.k.a. fairly godmother is heaven sent. She paid attention to so many details that I would’ve never thought of. I want to give Ashley a special thank you. She literally made sure I had a smile on my face from the time I arrived until the time I left. Our family said that our wedding was hands-down, the wedding of the century. Pictures can’t even begin to capture how amazing everything turned out. This team is hands-down the best team I could have asked for. They made everything so stress-free all while executing my vision and exceeding my expectations. Not only were they professional throughout this entire process they were caring and supportive. I now literally look at them like family ( and they like to party just as much as we do so they fit right in). I literally didn’t want this day to end. If you are looking for an all inclusive wedding of your dreams, this is where you go! -

When we told Brennan about our Halloween themed wedding he and his family seemed genuinely excited about it. They were all outstanding and communicated very well with us about the planning process for the wedding. We did the Micro Wedding package because it fit all of what we needed. I cannot recommend the Sterling Castle highly enough. Brennan and his wife Kelsie did an amazing job on everything for our wedding They really did a phenomenal job wit it. -

We cannot say enough good things about Sterling Castle and the process of creating our perfect wedding. Brennan was outstanding. His wife Kelsie and mother Misty were just the same. The planning process was easy, communication was excellent, and any doubts we had were put to ease before the big day. We chose the elopement package for our big day as we didn't want anything too big and we were looking for a more intimate ceremony of sorts. They hit it out of the park! Decor, food, service and everything! If we ever do renew our vows in the future we will be returning. -

My husband and I were blessed to have secured Sterling Castle as our wedding venue for our wedding earlier this year. Everything from the gorgeous venue itself to the loving support we got from Misty and the rest of the team surpassed my expectations and ultimately provided for a fairytale wedding day and reception evening. The venue has various areas and spaces to plan separate events which was perfect in our case since we had two ceremonies, a cocktail hour, and a reception all at the venue. Misty took all of my preferences and wishes and decorated all of the different spaces perfectly for each event. We and our guests had a magical day and would highly recommend booking at Sterling Castle! The photos captured here look out of the world. -

First of all the castle is beautiful and gorgeously decorated. Misty was able to bring my dream wedding to life! I wanted the masquerade theme from the a scene in a movie. She took my idea and just brought it to life! The decorations were perfect she truly made my wedding! The food was divine! The cake was delicious and the music was on point!! Her family and staff are amazing! They made it all flow so easily. I have never felt so taken care of by someone who isn’t my husband! They are the best people!

Misty is literally a fairy godmother! Her and her family were so easy to work with and a joy! I would tell any bride this place is the best choice by far! Everything is done in house. My family was blown away and everyone was saying how awesome the food was. I just showed her my Pinterest page and she got me everything I wanted and who doesn’t want fireworks!! My cousins loved the photo booth Brennan puts on and he tailored the pictures to look like our huggers! Couldn’t of asked for a better day! Thank you!!! -

From start to finish, The Sterling Castle was amazing to work with for our May 22, 2021 wedding. My husband and I are so grateful for your team and making everything run so smoothly. We originally had our wedding planned back in 2019, before COVID-19 hit. Brennan and Misty were so accommodating during this crazy time of uncertainty. However, my husband and I were certain that our wedding was going to take place no matter what. We loved working with each and every one of your staff, as you brought our dream day to life. Brennan, Misty, and Kelsi will truly make your wedding a one-of-a-kind experience and go beyond your expectations! Also, we, our family, and friends thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful setting, décor, delicious food, DJ, and the great service that you and your team provided. We sincerely appreciate everything that you have done to create unforgettable memories for us that will last a lifetime.
Love,
Jennifer & Michael Burgett -

We had a wonderful time. I gave Misty very little to work with as I’m not a decorative person. She took my color scheme and a few pictures I gave her and transformed our wedding into a spectacular event. They did everything for us. All we had to do was show up. -

I originally was planned to get married 4/18/2020 but with COVID things quickly changed. Misty and her team were very flexible in letting me change my date not once but twice. Everything was taken care of and I had very little to worry about. Knowing several brides who were going through the same thing, nothing compared to how easy replanning and rearranging things were. Misty took care of all the vendors and kept in touch to make sure my mind hadn't changed throughout the next year. When the day finally areived everything was provided and set up. I was able to get a preview of the reception hall and ceremony site and it was straight off of my pinterest board. This all inclusive venue offered more than just excellent service. They offered a stress free wedding planning that allowed me to have the wedding of my dreams including special made marquee letters and ending in fireworks. I could not have had a more perfect day after the most imperfect year. Thank you Misty for helping to make my dreams come true. -

Searching for venues We stumbled on Sterling Castle. Instantly this princess fell in love. Never thought I would be able to pull off a fairytale wedding. We looked at tons of venues that weekend. Sterling Castle was our first one. It set an extremely high standard no other place could even dream of competing with! We feel like most brides do. We have this once in a lifetime love. We can’t wait to share our story with friends and family. Meeting the Binkerd family sealed the deal. They have a true passion for love, romance and weddings. Touring the venue they showed us how much love and thought was put into each and every aspect of their place. I’m such an intentional person and everything they did was for the intent to display a love story. Then they repeated that with my family. They had a huge variety of options on the food, ceremony places. It was also going to rain on our day and the last minute we were able to move to our original spot. Tons of adorable picture options. If I had a wish they did everything in their power to grant it happily. The day of the wedding was no different. They even took time to show my family around to show them the hidden gems of this place. Made them feel very special. Every detail exceed my expectations. As if the venue itself wasn’t a wow factor. Misty design for all the flowers and decorations was beyond belief. She has a unique gift. We left there feeling like family. Comparing to the other venues we looked at we were happy to feel the love and romance from Sterling. Someone to join us in our day. Not just provide a space for us. It will forever be a special place in our hearts. We are already trying to find a reason to celebrate at the Castle! -

Breathtaking from start to finish, Misty made our wedding dreams come true. Misty and her team are absolutely amazing at what they do. They are prompt, knowledgeable and beyond helpful. We got married in the open air Chapel and had our reception in the ballroom area.The venue is breathtaking. The service is spectacular. My guests said it was the best wedding food they have every had. The night started and ended perfectly, I am beyond happy with my experience. If you are looking for a fairy tale wedding venue in the Alabama area, this is it. No need to look further. You won’t regret it!!!! -

Words cannot describe how magical this experience was for me and my family. A week later and it is still all anyone is talking about. Words like magical,breathtaking, once in a lifetime, true love is how our wedding has been described, Misty and Victor are so wonderful and so obviously in love. They really bring together the whole once in a lifetime fairly tale experience. Brennan and Kelci are also so great. The whole family is personable, warm, and understanding they truly are down for anything nothing is too big or two small. We are die hard nerds in our family. They tied all the elements and essence of our relationship into one big jaw dropping amazing ceremony. Every single person employed by the sterling castle are shinning stars the caterers, the cake designer our officiants etc. Who Work so tirelessly for your day. You will never find a more open minded and just genuinely wonderful team of people. If you are like me the idea of planning a wedding is overwhelming and I dont even know were to begin. You can be as hands on or hands off as you want to be and I so enjoyed that. I have been told by everyone in attendance that this was the best wedding anyone including my photographers have ever seen. It wasn't just a wedding it was an epic adventure from the first visit to the big day! Nothing short of magic. -

I cannot even express how amazing everything that Misty, Victor, Kelsi, Brennan, and everyone at the Sterling Castle did for us. From day one they were so accommodating, patient, and, loving towards us and our families. They made every dream we've had for our wedding come true and far exceeded every expectation. They made everything seamless and absolutely beautiful for us. Our theme was Lord of the Rings, and they took that and made everything we dreamed of a reality and then took it even further. We could never be more grateful and appreciative for how much they did for us. We are happy to consider them part of our family, and we will always remember our wedding day because of the hard work and dedication they put forth to make sure we had an absolute fairy tale wedding. Thank you for being LGBTQ Friendly and accepting us into your family and making everything about our wedding day absolutely beautiful and perfect. -
