My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams, and Barn 1888 played a huge role in making that dream come true. We knew the moment we stepped foot on this beautiful property that it was the one. The owners, Danielle and Bryan, are incredibly kind and work tirelessly to make sure every question is answered and every want or need is met. From the endless magical photo spots to the stunning landscape, the cozy barn, and the warm rustic charm, Barn 1888 truly has it all. We received so many compliments from guests saying it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever attended. We would highly, highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for the perfect place to say “I do.”

We hosted our wedding at Bay Pointe Woods on April 25, 2026, and it truly meant the world to us. The staff was incredible from beginning to end. Spencer was so helpful and answered every question we had along the way, which made planning so much less stressful. On the day of the wedding, Gabe was awesome and helped everything go so smoothly. One of the things we loved most was having everyone stay on site. The Tennyson Cottage was also the perfect bridal suite area. We had perfect weather too!!

Our wedding at Meyer's Castle was nothing short of magical, and we owe so much of that to our incredible coordinator, Eva.

From day one, Eva was organized, thoughtful, and so genuinely caring. She made sure every detail was in place and that everything ran smoothly--not just behind the scenes, but for me personally as the bride. The day was beautiful, but hot, and Eva went above and beyond to make sure I stayed comfortable and calm. At one point when I was feeling overheated, she literally helped pin my hair up herself. That kind of kindness, grace, and hands-on support is something I'll never forget.

Meyer's Castle was the most stunning backdrop to our big day. The grounds are breathtaking, the atmosphere is so elegant, and our guests were completely blown away by the beauty of it all. Every part of the venue felt like it was straight out of a fairytale--from the ceremony setting to the castle charm that made the whole day feel surreal.

I truly can't imagine having done this without Eva by our side. She was a calm in the chaos, a true professional, and someone who genuinely cared about making our day perfect.

If you're thinking about booking Meyer's Castle--do it. And if you're lucky enough to have Eva as your coordinator, just know you're in the best hands. I'll be forever grateful for her and this dreamy venue that brought our love story to life.

Thank you, Eva & Meyer's Castle, for a day we'll cherish forever!

It’s honestly hard to put into words how much this venue, and the amazing team behind it, meant to us. My husband and I got married here just a couple of weeks ago, and it was the most perfect day we could have ever imagined. So much of that is thanks to this place and the people who made it all happen. From the very beginning, Jillissa was absolutely incredible. She was the kindest, most organized and responsive person - always quick to answer our (many) questions, and she sent us everything we could’ve possibly needed, from videos and photos to charts and layouts. She really took the time to get to know us and what we were envisioning, offering suggestions or possibilities/options along the way when we were left unsure. By the time our wedding day came around, it genuinely felt like we were working with a friend - someone who truly cared and had our backs every step of the way. When wedding planning became chaotic and stressful, Jillissa provided encouragement, support, an uplifting spirit at exactly the right times. Even in those inevitable last-minute moments where things came up, she jumped in without hesitation. She went above and beyond in ways we’ll genuinely never forget. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. The town of Marshall is sooo full of charm. It's walkable, historic, and full of kind, welcoming people. It felt like the perfect place to bring everyone we love together. And Schuler’s catering was unreal!! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food. The entire service staff was absolutely amazing - so warm, so professional, and completely on top of everything. Because of them, the whole day flowed effortlessly, and we got to just relax and be in the moment without a single worry or hiccup. I wish I could thank them more. What really blew us away, though, were the little touches. We had a private tasting with custom menus and a welcome sign at Schuler's, a sweet card waiting at our hotel (The Royal Hotel - perfectly located AT the venue), and even a handwritten note and gift from the venue (a gift that truly meant more to us than I can express online). Those are the kinds of things that don’t show up on a contract but come from people who truly care, and it showed in every single detail. Choosing this venue was easily one of the best decisions we made. We’ll always remember how beautiful it was (our first pull to the venue itself), but more than that, we’ll remember how it made us feel. So loved, so supported, and so genuinely celebrated. I’ll forever be grateful we got to start our marriage here. This venue will forever hold a special place in my heart and I hope the same for others.

This place was GORGEOUS! It has beautiful outdoor ceremony sites, an amazing indoor reception spot that could have easily doubled as a ceremony site in the event of bad weather, his and hers silos, bathrooms, AND you can choose your own caterer (or do it yourself). They were so wonderfully accommodating and helpful…to the point where they were weed whacking the night of the rehearsal dinner to help us prepare the photo spots we needed. It was such a joy to have our wedding here!

Their responsiveness and genuine care showed in every detail, from organizing our donated drinks to directing guests and carrying our things throughout the day. What really stood out was how they anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask. They seemed to know exactly when to step in and help. They also made sure we actually had time to sit down and enjoy the food and each other, which meant everything.

Also there’s an airbnb on property that me, my girls, and my mom stayed the night before (it can sleep 15 people). I could go on about my love for the venue and the caring people I’ve met that maintain the character and charm. If you want barn but also elegant…this is the venue for you!

We loved using the loft during our wedding week. We booked it out for the Bachelor party, and it was absolutely the perfect. The location is ideal as we could walk to everything downtown, but honestly a lot of the night was spent inside the loft itself. It's such a cool atmosphere and everything was well stocked with anything we'd need and more. 10/10, we would highly recommend this to anyone needing cool and versatile event space.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding and reception at Black Creek Ridge Flower Farm. Everything turned out great. The owners are very personable and easy to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. They have connections with the local vendors. That put our mind at ease knowing that they’ve worked together before and everything would run smoothly. The carriage house, on site, made it convenient and easy for me and my girls to get ready in before the ceremony. The property is beautiful. I had about 80 guests and it felt like any more than that would have been too crowded. We so are glad we chose the flower farm!!

We chose the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum for our wedding and couldn't have made a better decision. Alishia was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, and texting made communication quick and easy whenever we had questions. The showroom is absolutely beautiful with plenty of space and parking for all our guests, and the whole package offered great value for what we got. Having a day-of coordinator on site made everything run smoothly and took so much stress off our shoulders. The unique vintage car setting gave our wedding a special vibe that our guests are still talking about. We'd recommend this venue to any couple looking for a one-of-a-kind space without breaking the bank.

Hannah and her team were absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the moment we booked our wedding, through the entire planning process, and all the way to the execution on our wedding day, they exceeded every expectation. Hannah was always there to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide reassurance whenever we needed it. Wedding planning can feel overwhelming at times, but she made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. Her communication, organization, and attention to detail were outstanding, and it was clear every step of the way that she genuinely cared about making our day special. When our wedding day finally arrived, everything came together perfectly. Hannah and her team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure every detail was handled, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment. The day felt effortless because of the incredible work they put in. I truly do not think our wedding day would have been as magical if we had chosen a different venue. Hannah helped bring our vision to life and created an experience that we, along with our family and friends, will never forget. We are so grateful for her expertise, dedication, and kindness throughout this journey. If you’re considering this venue, book it, you will be in the best hands possible. And have a day you will never forget!

The staff was so organized, kept us on time, made sure everyone knew where they should be, etc! All the guests were extremely impressed with the food, bar service, and the beauty of the venue! The stylists loved the setup for hair and makeup. It was the perfect day, and we have Kruse to thank for that!!!

For starters, everything my husband and I imagined for our wedding came true because of Kruse Plaza. Both Annaliese and Lexi were phenomenal. My husband and I let them know what we wanted and they made all that come true. They were patient and were amazing to have throughout this experience. The day of the wedding Patrick and Lexi made sure we were good and treated us like royalty. Lexi went over everything with us to make sure we were ok with the flow. Anytime we had a question or needed some assistance, she was right there for us. She was the best! We couldn't have experienced anything better than this. When I first looked at the website, I fell in love. When we walked around with Patrick and did the tour, I fell in love even more. I knew this was the place I wanted to get married and if we were to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing. If I was able to, Kruse Plaza would have more than 5 stars.
