From the moment we drove up the hill for our tour, we knew Castle Unicorn was where we were going to get married. Not only is the venue STUNNING, but the service and amenities are even better! My fiance and I were pleased that the food, alcohol, DJ, wedding night suite, linens, tables and chairs, and even decor was covered in our costs at Castle Unicorn. That saved us so much time and resources, which helped make our wedding experience more enjoyable. Castle Unicorn even set up decor up and took it down at the end of the night. There were never drinks or plates sitting on tables because the staff was constantly walking around and picking up, making sure our space looked tidy and beautiful throughout the night. John and Ray went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure that we had a perfect day. They were excellent communicators, invited us out to the Castle for a food tasting months before our wedding, and were on top of everything throughout the process. We were never worried about anything and they truly helped us feel peace. I have heard from several of our 175 guests that we had the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. From the Castle, to the trees, stunning views from the hill, and water/fountains. It was truly a beautiful and perfect day and we cannot thank Castle Unicorn enough! The cost is scary at first, but we hustled and made large monthly payments so our wedding was paid off by the time the wedding month came along. The service and experience we received was worth the money and more. We had the best day! I cannot share enough positive words about our experience with Castle Unicorn.

  • Starts at $1,000

The former Elk’s building was built in the colonial-revival style of architecture. Wide porches, supported by large columns, extend along the entire front of the building, with the upper balcony extending over the entrance in artistic architectural detail. On October 21, 1900, the cornerstone was laid for Lodge No. 531, B.P.O.E. on the north side of Bayliss Park in the heart of Council Bluffs. The inside of the building is furnished in classic Victorian style with rich burgundy and green hues. The original cigar stand and bundle counter is located immediately to the right of the front entrance. The grand oak stairway curves to the right and to the left and draws you up to the second-floor reception area and a ballroom that features a hard maple floor and mahogany-paneled walls. The second floor balcony provides guests with a breathtaking view of Bayliss Park and its beautiful fountain.

Exceptional choice for our wedding venue. The visitor service and event staff were excellent to work with - their communication was transparent throughout the months leading up to our big day. We knew exactly what was provided and what services we needed to contract outside vendors for. The rental and event staff ensured everything went smoothly and all the details were accounted for. No matter the season, Lauritzen Gardens is a beautiful venue, the scenery and location created the perfect backdrop for our picture-perfect, core memory-making event. I would give Lauritzen Gardens a ten out of ten recommendation for any couple looking for a stunning wedding venue.
