Meyer's Castle 

5.0

  • Up to 325 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Meyer’s Castle in Dyer, Indiana, offers a unique and historic venue for weddings. The castle-like architecture and beautiful gardens create a romantic and enchanting setting. Guests appreciate the attentive service and flexibility to customize the space to suit their wedding vision. The professional staff ensures a smooth and memorable event, from planning to execution. Meyer’s Castle provides a fairytale-like venue with historic charm and modern amenities.

We recently got married at Meyer's Castle, and it was an absolute dream come true. My husband, Jeff, and I fell in love with this venue at first sight. We love how private and intimate it is. The castle is completely gated and surrounded by dense trees. You would never know that such an oasis exists just outside of Chicago. When you enter the gate, you drive on a long driveway to the top where you see the castle sitting on the hill. It's quite impressive and reminds me of destination weddings in Europe. The best part is that you don't have to leave the country. We decided to opt for the outdoor reception, which is their most expensive option because it involves a plan B in case of bad weather. The plan B was to host a reception in one of their gorgeous ballrooms. We could choose between two. However, the outdoor reception was so worth it. We were lucky enough to have a perfect sunny day without it being too hot. The venue's booking manager told us that September is their most popular month for weddings, and now I understand why—the weather was absolutely perfect. The team at Meyer's Castle was very friendly, professional, and always responded to our questions in a timely manner. It was totally worth it to hire their Month-Off coordinator, Kate. She was amazing! They also have a list of preferred vendors who they don't force you to hire but recommend based on their experience with them. We hired a photographer and a cake vendor from Meyer's Castle's list, and we were extremely happy we did. The venue's newly renovated bridal suite is cute and elegant at the same time. It has beautiful baby blue peacock wallpaper and a grand gold mirror. They actually have real peacocks living on the property, so the wallpaper in the bridal suite really fits the theme of the venue. This place is awesome. You can have both the wedding ceremony and reception at the same location, which is very convenient and stress-free. I don't like ceremonies in the church, and I would choose over and over to exchange my vows with my husband in the beautiful, green, lush gardens with birds singing around us.

I LOVE shooting here. the venue is beautiful AND it's owner-operated so the person you talk to REALLY cares about your experience and overall quality of service. AND it's proximity to other locations downtown can't be beat for the logistical planning of an event or picture taking. A few blocks from both the old and new capitol on a quaint little side street. It's the whole package. Top notch ... everything.

Historic Edwards Place 

5.0

Springfield, IL
  • Up to 75 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

Edwards Place, built in 1833, was a social center of antebellum Springfield. In its gracious parlors Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Douglas, Ulysses S. Grant, and other Illinois luminaries gathered at elegant parties and balls. You, too, can have your special day in the same rooms where Abraham and Mary Lincoln were guests more than 150 years ago, now meticulously restored to the grandeur of their antebellum days. Edwards Place is available to rent for showers, weddings, and receptions – the perfect choice for a distinctive event in a historically significant setting. You can even include extra services for your event, such as the use of a piano often heard by Abraham Lincoln (and possibly played at his wedding!). Our rental space has three areas of possibility - the historic house museum, the grounds in front of Edwards Place, and the M.G. Nelson Gallery, a part of our parent organization, the Springfield Art Association, and directly attached by a doorway to historic Edwards Place.

The Edwards Place is a beautiful site! The staff were very helpful and flexible allowing us to visit the site multiple times, they were open regarding their seating arrangement, and due to the nature of the site it is fully decorated. The site was beautiful and the wedding was as well! The historic charm of the home added to the romantic feel of the day. I would recommend this site to anyone looking to get married as it is wonderful all around!

This venue is a fairytale come true!! Every detail from the house, to the decor, to the lovely prairie is mesmerizing! The first time we visited took my breath away! I love how personal we made it and the space allowed for endless possibilities. Our guests were beyond impressed with the venue, with our wedding coordinator (Sarah), and with the FOOD!!! A huge bear hug for Sarah! We had some scheduling issues and the way she still kept us on track was incredible. To make a COVID bride happy is nearly impossible, but I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome! My biggest tip if you have the ceremony at the venue is to get early access because you’ll want all the prep time you can get. This is a very unique way to celebrate your big day!!

It was amazing working with Dan and Dana! We have been going to the restaurant for many years and have always loved the atmosphere, quality of food and the service. The staff is always so polite. This was the first time we booked a major event with them. We were so impressed with their professionalism and expertise. Dana, the coordinator, assured me to not stress over details because that was her job and she totally delivered on that promise. Dan is the owner and he actually married us in a really beautiful ceremony. We were all so pleased with how things turned out that my mom even booked her 60th birthday there 6 weeks after our wedding. We cannot say enough good things about the Public Landing!
