The Sterling Castle was a wonderful venue for our wedding! The staff were so friendly and responsive throughout the planning process, making communication a breeze. Their facilities are absolutely beautiful too - the ballroom with its chandeliers and grand windows was the perfect backdrop for our reception. Considering the quality of the venue and service, The Sterling Castle offers exceptional value at a reasonable cost. They really aim to make wedding planning as stress-free as possible for couples by taking care of so many details themselves. We just had to provide our vision in terms of colors, menu, and guest count - they handled all the logistics seamlessly. Our guests were so impressed and we couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our special day. I would happily recommend The Sterling Castle to any couple planning a wedding!

If you are looking for a beautiful outside venue yet still sophisticated Windwood is for you!

Awarded Best of Zola
This venue was everything I could have ever wanted and more! Sandy and her family were an absolute treasure! She was so inviting every time we were on the property. They made sure everything was set up to our liking including how I wanted the tables and chairs set up down to items being brought down to the ceremony. Their willingness to have the ceremony inside if the weather did not permit our dream outside wedding took so much stress off of me knowing I had a second option in moments notice. The venue is gorgeous and well cared for, you can truly tell they love what they do!

I had a fabulous experience working with Nika and her team for our wedding at the Historic Drish House. The Drish House is a beautiful venue with lots of options for neat photos. We had about 115 guests; our ceremony was inside and our reception was in the tent! The inside ballroom has beautiful chandeliers and wood floors, the upstairs was the perfect place to get ready and hang out pre-wedding, and the tent provided a fun spot to have dinner and dance on the black and white checkered dance floor. 10/10 recommend!
