We ordered Sprite and coke for are beverages and only received coke and water on all 8 tables that I paid for. On the candy table, she placed a oversized basket with coffee items in them, that I didn't order!!!! During the event, I had to tell the waitress to remove the coffee basket off the candy that was decorated. I will never rent her venue again, and if someone rents her venue, it will surely be a roll of the dice!!!!

First I had to ask the staff to provide water to all of my guest. Some of my guest asked for extra bread and they were told that they ran out of it. The food was horrible. Half of my guest received raw chicken, the beef was tough, the mashed potatoes were very dry there was no gravy for them and when I asked the staff for a knife for the meat they said they didn't have any. When I mentioned to the owner that I hope my guest didn't get sick because of the raw chicken all he said was that he hoped that they didn't get sick either. I wouldn't recommend this anyone. This was an awful overall experience!

We had a sticky situation with our wedding last May that required us to switch venues at the last minute. Sandra was incredibly understanding. We were still able to use the house and have friends from overseas and out of state save money on their accommodations. The house and grounds are spacious and full of wonderful history. If you are looking for a unique place to have a reception or event, please do consider this space.

Due to the location, there is plenty of parking and the venue allows parties to bring their own food. $1000 to reserve the space for I think 12 hours. You can also rent the venue for a whole day, which sounds great for a wedding.

I always passes here and thought that it probably was really old fashioned. Well I was wrong, the place is bright yellow and the dance floor is a pretty big dance floor considering that the place is not showing its true size from the outside - impressive Polonia. I was impressed also with the fact that they decorated the heck out of this place and it was really tastefully done. The colors were bright and the place was magic for the party that was about to begin. I also must admit that the family style dinner that they serve is really good quality. Of course for being a hall, the food was really good. Since most of the time the foods served are bland. But I must admit that the pasta dish was in fact over salted. What can you do right? The rest of the dinner as well as the night was pretty nice. Parking is pretty ample, except I did notice that the girls who were serving the meal made sure as soon as you were done, the plate would be removed. Not cook, but hey they are trying to get home so I can totally appreciate the effort. Till they get a fork in their hand, than they understand.

This review is for Meyers Castle event venue:…read more My mother, and now husband, hosted their wedding here the end of May. The ceremony was outside at the gazebo and the reception inside in the Oak Room. It does not even need much decor, the space itself is so pretty. We utilized the downstairs bridal suite. So beautiful. It was a small wedding, maybe 70 people or less. The staff did a wonderful job; they served appetizers and plated dinner. Very attentive to guest's. Excellent bartender. My mom utilized a partnered dj, limo driver service and shuttle service. Then, their event coordinator, Eva. The coordinator, Eva, deserves her own review- but if you are in need of a coordinator, she went above and beyond for my mother. She could not be happier with her service and compassion provided along the way and day-of event. Thank you, Meyer's Castle for an event we all will be talking about for years to come.

There are so many unique, beautiful spots across the grounds for photos. The weather and vibrant flowers were flawless for our July wedding. The entire reception went seamlessly and flowed so wonderfully. The service was top-tier. Food arrived warm and delicious, and the bar kept drinks flowing quickly all night. The biggest blessing was our onsite coordinator, Eva. She made the entire day run like clockwork, ensuring every single detail was on time and executed exactly the way we wanted. She constantly checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed. It was truly a PERFECT day. I cannot recommend Meyer's Castle enough for your ceremony, reception, or both!
