    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!

    Stern Wedding | December 2023

    This was the most amazing experience I could have asked for.

    The quality and attentiveness to detail is truthfully remarkable. The caterers, DJ, food, and pictures were absolutely wonderful.

    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!

    An absolutely magical experience with magical people

    I was first drawn to The Sterling Castle by its beauty and nearly everything being streamlined into one, but we ended up fully going through with it after meeting Misty and Victor for the first time. They’re so helpful and so inspiring with how beautiful they are together. You’re always told that you can see who is in business for the money and who is in it because they truly enjoy it and you can see that everyone at The Sterling Castle are in it because they absolutely love it. A I am someone who cracks easily under pressure and cannot handle the stress, but I didn’t have to when we booked with The Sterling Castle. I kept saying throughout the day at the ceremony that it was so much more than I was expecting and it truly was. I had a Pinterest board saved with everything I ever dreamed of, but it was so much better than whatever Pinterest or my dreams could ever imagine. From the planning to the tastings and the final details, everything was perfectly easy and magical. I’ll forever treasure my wedding day and the amazing people who made that day possible. Thank y’all so much. I wouldn’t have dreamed beginning my forever anywhere else or with anyone different.

    Wedding dream comes true

    We (parents of the groom) along with our son and daughter-in-law chose the Sterling Castle as wedding venue for our son’s wedding. From the beginning, Misty from Sterling Castle was very helpful in every decision making. Our daughter-in-law loves Halloween and wedding was in October - Misty did an amazing fall inspired leaves, dark roses and glittery spider etc. decoration that is simply spectacular. Misty’s husband Victor made an autumn moon decoration under which wedding cake was placed. Kelsi provided catering that was perfect with two different kinds of cuisines. Music was superb. The spectacular fireworks display over the castle was the end of a very beautiful wedding celebration. I highly recommend The Sterling Castle as a wedding venue - they make special effort to make it a truly special event for the couple.

    Misty and her family make the entire experience very personal. They take great care in building a relationship with their clients.

    Misty handled a delicate balance of more traditional parents with my wife’s wish for a Halloween wedding. My guests were absolutely blown away by how stunning the venue was. We got numerous compliments on how stunning the decorations were that Misty and her team out together. It was pretty much like walking into a magical fall wonderland.

    Enchanted Evening

    My son was married last night and my phone has not stopped ringing! All my family and friends have been calling and texting that it was to most beautiful and wonderful wedding they have ever attended! The entire Binkard family and Ashley (Misty’s assistant) are so wonderful! The definitely go over and beyond! The decorations were like something out of a movie…. Gorgeous is an understatement. The food was excellent as well. If I could give 10 stars, I would. I definitely suggest running to The Sterling Castle and booking your wedding as soon as possible!

    Wedding 4/29/23 P&D

    My husband and I were blessed to have secured Sterling Castle as our wedding venue for our wedding earlier this year. Everything from the gorgeous venue itself to the loving support we got from Misty and the rest of the team surpassed my expectations and ultimately provided for a fairytale wedding day and reception evening. The venue has various areas and spaces to plan separate events which was perfect in our case since we had two ceremonies, a cocktail hour, and a reception all at the venue. Misty took all of my preferences and wishes and decorated all of the different spaces perfectly for each event. We and our guests had a magical day and would highly recommend booking at Sterling Castle! The photos captured here look out of the world.

    Absolutely Beautiful

    Every detail of our wedding was beautiful, from getting ready, to the ceremony, to the gorgeous reception hall! My husband and I both have very busy jobs not to mention recently having out first child, so we didn't have a lot of time to plan an entire wedding. Misty and her family worked very closely with us to understand exactly what we wanted, even making custom pieces to fit out theme. The food was delicious, the cakes were amazing, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. They truly are incredible at what they do! I wouldn't change a single thing about that day. We will likely be back in the future for vow renewal!

    More than we dreamed it could be.

    Misty, Brennan, and Kelsey were absolutely wonderful. From the first meeting to the planning and execution their goal was to make the day special for us. They went above and beyond in every phase and made our special day more than we even dreamed. We cannot thank them enough for all they did for us. You won’t find a better group of wonderful people to work with to make your day more than you even dreamed it could be.

    The best day ever!

    Picking The Sterling Castle was the best decision we made for our wedding. Misty is a dream to work with and will make your wildest dreams come true for your wedding. Her entire team handled everything and it was absolutely fantastic. I also loved how transparent they are with their pricing. The food was delicious, the florals were gorgeous and it was just the perfect day!

    Wonderful and Amazing

    Misty and her family were amazing throughout our whole wedding planning. When the day of our wedding came we were amazed at how our wedding was more than we could ever imagined. There were a few hiccups towards the end of the night but the staff handled it amazingly. As the saying goes its not a wedding unless there is some family drama. Lol. But in all my husband and I are incredibly happy with our experience at The Sterling Castle.

    Best experience Ever!

    First of all the castle is beautiful and gorgeously decorated. Misty was able to bring my dream wedding to life! I wanted the masquerade theme from the a scene in a movie. She took my idea and just brought it to life! The decorations were perfect she truly made my wedding! The food was divine! The cake was delicious and the music was on point!! Her family and staff are amazing! They made it all flow so easily. I have never felt so taken care of by someone who isn’t my husband! They are the best people! You have to go to Sterling Castle it is worth the trip!

    Dream come true

    1000% recommend The Sterling Castle. Misty made my dreams come true. They made everything as easy as creating a Pinterest board. You basically just show up with your dress. It was absolutely beautiful and I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Thank you Misty for giving me my dream wedding.

    Above and beyond our expectations!

    Every girl at some point in their life wants one day where they want to feel and look beautiful from head to toe and I am so blessed to have that dream come true. For one day I truly felt like I was living the life a princess. I married my prince in a castle surrounded by nothing but love and that’s exactly what I wanted. Misty Binkerd and her team were amazing! I gave her my vision of an enchanted forest and she killed it!!! I cried when we were able to get our sneak peek and she wasn’t even finished at that point. Her husband built a custom made heart for us and boxes for the ceremony area, I mean they went above and beyond our expectations. Her son Brennan was amazing! He made sure all questions were answered and all my list were followed, oh he’s low key a comedian. Her daughter Chelsea made sure the food was on point and it was. Her assistant was great!! I had her running from the time we got there and she did it all with a smile. They constantly catered to our every need throughout the entire planning process. This family/team are all so sweet, soft spoken, they listen to you, and give great advice and suggestions. Thank you all so much for making our dream a reality.

    Top venue of birmingham!

    I know this rating go to 5 stars but if I could give 1,000 I would. The entire process was smooth and if any questions came about, Misty was able to answer them or get the answer for us. Everyone was so hands on and made sure all needs were met. I could go on & on about how great our experience and wedding was.
    The Sterling Castle team is awesome and Misty is truly a " Fairy Wedding Godmother"!

    THE venue in Alabama

    I recommend EVERYONE to use this place. Misty is a genius and plans everything. The catering was 5 stars, the cake?? Never had a cake taste so amazing. Misty’s decorating skills are out of this world and I felt like I had stepped into another world. The venue was a dream come true, and all of my guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. 10/10 recommend.
