“Working with Northern Lights for our wedding was the best choice we made during the wedding planning process! Communication was prompt and helpful throughout the whole process, and the included planning meetings also helped us a ton with all the decisions we had to make and organizing all the information. The venue provides so much that we didn't have to rent hardly anything, and our guests and vendors remarked about how beautiful the space was all day. I am so glad we found this space and I would recommend them to anyone still searching for a venue!”

“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.”
