  • One of the most beautiful places on Earth!

    Raquel & R.Mar 29, 2024

    Unbelievably tranquil and beautiful garden venue with exquisite food and top-notch service. We toured many wedding venues in Chicago and the suburbs, but none of them felt like a destination getaway, with the exception of Meyer’s Castle. By far, our singular favorite place among those we have seen. It's worth every penny to get married here. The service, ambiance, and food are all exceptional!

  • Gorgeous property

    Meyer’s Castle was a place I have wanted to get married at since my childhood, and it totally lived up to everything I wanted it to be! From the service, food, scenery, activities, and everything in between, it was all a phenomenal experience. As a food lover, I learned so much and enjoyed every minute of our wedding. It is pricey but in our minds, worth it. Also, I recommend the photographer from their preferred vendor list.

  • Wonderful time!

    We recently hosted our wedding ceremony and reception at Meyer's Castle, and consolidating everything in one space proved to be a very smart decision. We chose this venue specifically for its stunning on-site ceremony space, distinctive layout, and spectacular gardens. Throughout the planning process, communication was excellent, with prompt responses to all our questions. The pricing was transparent, and there were no surprises.

    Upscale hideaway near Chicago: quiet and secluded, it's a great place to slow down and be pampered during your wedding. It's pricier compared to other venues in the area, but this place truly offers a "get what you pay for" experience.
