Weddings at Henderson Castle
Wedding Testimonials
I am not sure where to even start we have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Cortnee and her team at Henderson Castle. Our day was absolutely perfect and all of our family and friends had so much fun celebrating with us! The venue was stunning and the staff, all so friendly! The food was amazing. The cake was beautiful!! I recommend staying at the castle with your closest friends and family when celebrating your special day. Cortnee remained calm and actively listened to us during the planning phase of the wedding and then used her beautiful creativity to make sure all of our dreams came true on the day of! It was almost as if we had known her for many years. We enjoyed every bit of planning with her. Cortnee, we cannot thank you enough for everything you and your team have done to create such a fairy-tail wedding. It was absolutely lovely!!

Cortnee and Mikayla were great to work with. They took care of everything and made sure that Jacob & Emily's wedding was perfect. The venue was very nice and accommodating. We had a great day! I can't thank them enough for their hard work ensuring that everything was just perfect! I would recommend the Henderson Castle package to anyone. All of the staff and recommended vendors were great, from the DJ to the photographer, to the chef and kitchen staff, and cake maker. They made sure all of the details were there and even added a few special additions for Jacob and Emily. We all had a great time at the castle.

Our wedding at the Henderson Castle this past weekend was absolutely phenomenal. I cannot tell you how accommodating and gracious the castle staff were to work with! Cortnee Lane, our wedding coordinator went above and beyond to make everything about our experience just perfect. She handled changing details all along the way until the day of the wedding and kept us all to a thoughtful timed schedule for both rehearsal and wedding. She even was able to recommend a bagpiper for our Scottish-inspired ceremony and help me surprise my husband with a traditional recessional! Mikaela Gustine was kind enough to also assist with planning details and helping us to plot and explore the grounds. Matt, our head bartender created his 'n hers cocktails (a blackberry Manhattan and blackberry mojito) tailored to us, tolerated us all beautifully during the open-bar reception and was kind enough to give us the cocktail recipe after! Definitely drop by to do a wine tasting with him sometime soon! I would love to mention everyone who worked with us, but we would run out of room. :) Included in the package we purchased, there were components I wouldn't have even thought of, but they were so brilliant! We had a one-stop-shop from cake to DJ, from an incredibly delicious meal to an hour-long couples massage, and to top it off, the castle and guesthouse rooms were reserved for our bridal party and parents so that they could fully enjoy the night without arranging for a commute. We all spent the night there and had a gorgeous breakfast (included) the next morning with everyone! (They also have a hot tub on the roof, which I highly recommend enjoying in the morning, so stunning in the sunrise!) If you want to feel like royalty on your special day and have a wedding that keeps everyone talking about how amazing it was, definitely book this fantastic, romantic venue!
