Fairytale Come True

Misty and her team turned our dream into reality! Their passion and creativity brought our vision to life and no detail was overlooked. They took such great care of us, and despite the crazy weather, they made sure that everyone had an excellent time. Choosing to have our wedding here was the best decision we made! The decor was stunning, the food was amazing, and our guests continue to rave about how beautiful everything was and what a great time they had. We can’t thank Misty and her family enough for everything they did!

The Perfect Venue

Absolutely AMAZING! The venue itself is gorgeous with several unique locations to chose from for holding the ceremony. Misty and the rest of the crew are total rockstars! They were all super fun to work with and made my wedding day perfect! Even when you don't have a clear vision of your wedding, Misty CAN and WILL pull it out of your brain and work wonders! Oh, and Victor MADE the chandelier you'll see in the pictures!

Victor and Misti make it their personal mission to ensure that your wedding day is nothing short of flawless! Any idea or theme you may have is well within their capable hands to create. You should see the Iron Throne from the Game of Thrones series they made by themselves! And that was just for one wedding. Seriously everything these guys do at the Sterling Castle is a labor of love and it shows. Plus I love shooting weddings there :)
