My daughter was married here last month. Such a lovely location, truly gives a magical setting. We hosted a large group (300) and they worked with us to make it perfect for all guests.
While we were concerned with lack of communication with staff before the event, the actual day went off without a hitch because we hired EVA as our coordinator. She truly made every part of the experience so much better and less stressful. Eva is a genuinely lovely person who has a take charge attitude - perfect combination for an event coordinator. She ensured every detail went off without a hitch and any issues resolved without my knowledge. I would 100%, without hesitation, hire Eva again! The castle staff during the event were also fantastic and worked hard to make the evening perfect. All of our guests were very complimentary of the entire evening.

Absolutely magical wedding venue and extraordinary service.
My husband and I were married here on 11/1/2024 and it was every bit as perfect as I had hoped. Kate was our coordinator and she made sure everything went smoothly, she was moral support, and truly made a world of difference. We were married at the gazebo with our family, friends, and the peacocks as witness. My bridesmaids and I got ready in the East Canopy Bridal Suite which is newly renovated along with their restrooms. Everything looks so elegant and dreamy! We had the speakeasy for cocktail hour which was one of my favorite aspects of the night! We had the Filet Mignon and Chicken Provencal options which were both phenomenal. Drinks were great too, everyone definitely enjoyed them! At the end we had leftover party favors, blankets and flip flops, which Kate graciously offered to donate to local charities. Again, can’t say enough about how wonderful Kate was- she worked through the floor plan with me, helped with setting up decor, and answered probably about 200 questions I asked over the past year of planning. If you’re looking for a stunning wedding venue and an attentive team who will make your dreams come true- this is your place!

My husband and I had our dream wedding at this beautiful castle. Everything was perfect and went smoothly. All of that wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing coordinator Eva. I can’t say enough good things about her. She was so attentive to our needs and made sure everything was in order so that we could have the perfect day. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Eva for all you’ve done for us.

I just got married on 9/20/24 at Meyer's Castle. From the beginning of our planning process, my husband and I knew this was THE PLACE. Not only are the garden grounds beautiful, but every room they have to offer, including the newly renovated bathrooms, were beautiful from every angle. The Speakeasy Lounge was the perfect, classic place to host cocktail hour that has a beautiful wooden carved bar accessible from both sides as it sits in the center of the room. We then had our reception in the West Canopy (larger of the two ballrooms). Beautiful chandeliers and florals hang from the tented ceilings with a massive dance floor. The day of the wedding was hot for late September (temps around 85° and humid as it rained in the morning) but the venue was able to bring in large fans to cool down the room. The West Canopy also has a large deck attached to the room which allowed guests to take photos and enjoy the cool breeze after the sun went down. The food was one of the best banquet meals I have ever had and all of my guests raved about the food and the quick bar service. We were fortunate to have multiple bartenders so there was never a line at the bar. The Castle also recommended our wonderful coordinator, Eva, who was an angel and went above and beyond her required duties. Eva helped the servers pass meals (we had 180 guests) so dinner was quick to be served. She also not only attended to myself and my husband, but also continued to check in with my family all night asking if she could assist with anything.
Throughout the whole process, the office workers were phenomenal at responding promptly. The owner is very personable and remembered us each time we'd visit and would always make time for us, even if we'd stop in last minute to ask a quick question.
My husband and I wouldn't have chosen any other place to have our wedding and thanks to the staff, our wedding was more perfect that we ever imagined. I wouldn't change a thing about our beautiful night! It was truly a fairytale day.

If you want your wedding to feel magical like you have stepped back in time this is place for you. It’s a short ride outside of Chicago in Dyer Indiana. They had the most beautiful gardens, statues and a gorgeous peacock on the estates. Perfect for an outdoor spring, summer or fall wedding. Due to the nature of the grounds the parking was interesting but they solved it with a shuttle bus but I would see if valet company would be possible. I feel this is a hidden Gem that will be the perfect place for a memorable wedding.

We had our wedding here 8-24-24. It was absolutely amazing. The food was great. The castle itself is stunning. Eva, my coordinator, went above & beyond to make sure we were all taken care of. She was part of the family by the end of the night! Overall communication with everyone was easy & fun.

Beyond imagination and the dreamiest place I have ever seen locally. Highly recommend for anyone looking to book their wedding venues. So beautiful and exquisite. The chandeliers are my favorite along with the speakeasy room.

My wonderful friends just got hitched this weekend and they honestly picked the perfect place to do so. The whole venue was gorgeous, from the outside ceremony arrangements to the bridal suite, everything was stunning. Their coordinator Katie was fun and accommodating! The peacocks were lively and entertaining the whole reception. They even showed up during the bridal party entrance. All in all, if you're looking for a venue that matches your fairytale esthetic, Meyers Castle should be top of your list! Make sure to ask for Katie the coordinator!!
