"Absolutely magical", "fairy tale like", "enchanting" and "gorgeous" were all words we and our guests used to describe our unforgettable evening at the Sterling Castle. Misty and Victor and all the staff were amazing, ensuring everything was done to perfection, even beyond what we had asked... I loved all the little details of lights, music, bubbles on the dance floor and excellent food. The sword to cut the cake was a great touch. If you want a gorgeous wedding done right by professionals, look no further. ​

Every bit of my Wedding Day was absolute perfection!!! 
Every detail of decoration, floral design, layout, catering etc. was breathe taking! Let me tell you Pinterest ain't got nothing on Misty! All our guests are still raving over how gorgeous our wedding was! My husband and I opted for the "sterling package" for our wedding in March and it was the best decision we made. You won’t be able to duplicate this anywhere else especially for the price. Plus, I never had to feel an ounce of stress because they handle everything, that alone is priceless!

My wedding day was truly a dream come true, thanks to the amazing team at The Sterling Castle! Misty, Victor, Brennan, and Kelsi all made it such a wonderful and personal experience for us. They were professional and passionate about making our wedding perfect. They took care of every detail, comfortably navigating my fiancé and I through the process so we were completely at ease to enjoy our day to the fullest! I cannot emphasize how highly I recommend this amazing family and incredibly beautiful venue!!

​We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding. All the details were taken care of and the only thing I had to worry about was not tripping down the aisle! Misty puts so much thought into everything she does. The flower arrangement she made were beautiful as well as all the decorations. Victor has so much talent too and made us a gorgeous cross that he carved himself. You will not find another venue that will put so much personalization into your special day. It was a magical experience that we will never forget! I could not have asked for a better place to get married and I would recommend The Sterling Castle to anyone.

Truly a fairytale wedding! My husband and I looked at this venue and instantly fell in love. We stopped searching for a wedding venue and immediately booked! There are so many options for creating your wedding day. They really worked with us on our budget and made us feel like we were still getting a million dollar dream wedding. For 10 months, from day one to the day of, everyone at the Sterling Castle kept in contact with us to make sure our wedding day was everything we wanted ...
I can’t speak highly enough about the Sterling Castle and everyone there. It was an absolute dream and if I had to do it all again, there’s not one thing I’d want to happen differently! It was truly a fairytale!

Sterling Castle's entire staff is simply amazing. From day one, the son explained his parent's love story, how and why they built the castle and when they decided to share their home with engaged couples such as I! I will always remember the 1st conversation because after that 1st call, I only had to call one other time! Everything we discussed then came to fruition; My wedding day was perfect! The venue was lovely, food and cake excellent and the atmosphere far exceeded my expectations. ​
