Abigail and her bridesmaids loved relaxing in our Bridal Suite while they put on the final touches to their wedding day ensemble!
With plenty of space for lounging and its natural charm, the room offers the perfect backdrop for priceless pictures.
Ryan and his groomsmen were dressed and ready fairly early, so they enjoyed exploring the castle and all of its secluded rooms.
The ceremony under our grand Oaks had plenty of room for this larger bridal party to proudly stand with their friends in support of Ryan and Abigail.
As Abigail and her father walked down the aisle, guests couldn’t help be feel all of the love these two families shared.
The happy couple chose to include a special side ceremony during their vows.
Putting their vows, love letters, and a bottle of wine into a customized wooden chest, they swore to open it again together on a special anniversary in the future.
It was finally time for the vows to be sealed with the Big Kiss!
The crowd went wild, cheering on the newlyweds and ramping up the excitement for their bright future together as husband and wife.
Just look at that “I Do” Glow! These smiles fill our hearts with joy!
Guests were encouraged to go upstairs to the Upper Lawn for cocktails and fresh appetizers from Personal Touch Dining while mingling with other guests.
We always offer our clients the lawn games we have readily available here at the Castle.
Giant Jenga, Corn Hole, and Giant Connect Four are great for guests of any age!
Finally, it was time for the lovebirds’ Grand Entrance back into the party!
We love our Castle as a backdrop to any photo. It has such a unique charm that turns every occasion into something marvelous.
Toasts from the Best Man and Maid of Honor were just the right balance of hilarious and heartwarming.
It was the perfect way to get everyone’s appetites ready for dinner!
Personal Touch Dining served an exceptional classic Italian-inspired buffet of Ryan and Abigail’s favorite dishes off their extensive menu.
Before moving inside for family dances and desserts, the newlyweds were tested on their knowledge of each other.
The Wedding Shoe Game is a classic and loved by many cultures for its humor and good nature between the happy couple and their guests.
Personal Touch Dining offered plenty of sweet treats on their dessert station for guests to enjoy while they danced inside the castle’s Main Hall.
Brownies, cookies, Rice Krispy Treats, and more were delicately displayed on trays for guests to graze for the rest of the night!
Secret Booth set up their photo booth for guests to enjoy in one of our many side lounge rooms.
They come fully equipped with props, a booth attendant, and a self-service camera!
Our team of Event Coordinators lined guests up on the front steps for the Grand Exit.
They passed out bubbles and guests cheered as Abigail and Ryan ran beneath the arch of rainbow bubbles.
We’re so honored to be a part of this wonderful couple’s love story!
Abigail and Ryan were so sweet and their love was magical.
Thanks to the fantastic team of vendors who helped us keeps everything running so smoothly!
