Canterbury Castle

tions. Everyone liked the food and the place was beautiful! We had our wedding during the holiday stroll and some of our guests walked around and got a taste of what Canterbury Village is all about!

nes fans) and the affordable price. We happened to be one of the many couples impacted by COVID, and had to postpone our wedding twice before having our big day on September 5, 2021. Angela, the event coordinator at Kings Court, was super supportive every step of the way. She never gave us trouble the multiple times we asked to move our date. Sometimes it would take a few days to get an email response back, but I attribute this to how busy the staff was navigating event planning during the pandemic. On the day of our wedding, our guests were absolutely raving about how great the venue was! We got so many compliments on the food (especially those rolls!) and how cool and unique the aesthetic of the venue was. The entire evening the staff was super present and friendly, and my Dad complimented the bar tenders on the generous pours they were giving out! At the end of the evening when we were cleaning up, Angela was there to help and even hugged and congratulated us on the big day. The entire venue provided the perfect backdrop for pictures, and we even ended the night with a late-night snack from the Yate’s Cider Mill Store at Canterbury Village, a Michigan Fall staple. If you are a couple looking for a unique and memorable wedding venue and quality service without going into serious debt, Kings Court Castle is the go-to in metro Detroit. Thank you to Angela and the entire staff at KCC for helping make mine and my husband’s wedding a dream come true!

d this location for all your needs and price was absolutely right.

ce was beautiful! Not to the mention the price was extremely affordable.

wide aisle runner as the carpet was kind of dirty looking. We also got a rug to cover the tile during the ceremony as the tile looked broken in spots and a little dirty as well. We made it look beautiful for our ceremony. At the first food tasting the good was so so but they were incredibly accommodating and helped us create a menu that our guests love. The reception was great and the hall is beautiful! The only other thing that was tough for me was that no one was allowed in to KCC before 10 am. This caused some stress as at 10 am I was getting ready. My mom and my aunt's had to go to and set up the hall but it all worked out. Overall I would highly reccommend KCC. Angela was very responsive and helpful and did all she could to make it the best day ever for us!!

ve leading up the the wedding. The wedding day went smoothly, the staff on site was professional and friendly and the food was amazing. They provided generous portions to my gluten free party members who couldn't stop gushing over how good the food was. Our only complaint was pretty mild from a little lack of communication: when we had booked the venue, there had been a piano in the chapel, but something happened to it and they're working to get a new one. We found this out the day before, during rehearsal. Bottom line: still highly recommended.

food and the bar was fully stocked and the bartenders were great! We did have a couple of snafus with some plans that we'd made, a staffing change right before our wedding and no staff present during our rehearsal ending up with us being locked out on a cold night. While I didn't feel like the staff was very apologetic, we were still able to have our perfect wedding day. The grounds and property are beautiful and were a beautiful backdrop for our photos. I would definitely recommend!

y and chapel were just beautiful, even in winter! I also want to add that my husband and I both suffer from food allergies and the staff/chef had no problem accommodating those needs, and made us a great meal that we could enjoy. Job well done!!

l. I highly recommend to anyone looking to get married in the area, in a beautiful place, with delicious food, friendly staff, and on a budget!

menu tasting, because we weren't going to book a venue before trying food as my husband is a chef. While they gave us a few price breaks for the mix ups it should have been a warning sign to us. Closer to the wedding date, there was a lot of scrambling to get our list turned in and the prices completed for payment. Then when my father called to bring the payment he is told the receptionist cannot accept it. All still pretty small things. We were told we could get in at 10 am the day of the wedding to set up and decorate the reception hall and chapel. While that was wonderful, when we pay a cleaning fee as did everyone else, it was a shock what my bridesmaids walked into. The reception hall was trashed, there were buckets to catch water dripping from the ceiling. Floor was dirty, trash was everywhere under tables, on window sills, on tables, etc. No skirting was even ready on the head table and some of the table cloths were dirty even. The chapel also needed to be vacuumed and cleaned. Thankfully I never heard a word of it until after the wedding because my bridesmaids didn't want me to worry. Once the day started, everything was going pretty well and I was just ecstatic to be marrying my best friend. That is when the other issues arose, which when I brought to the event planners attention after I was told there was nothing they could do and sorry for your luck basically. Now, at venues that have multiple halls wedding crashing is possible. Not only did we have wedding crashers but thieves. They came in and used the photo booth, stole the guys props, helped themselves to my open bar and walked off each time they left with cake. I put a stop to them myself and my bridal party went on the hunt for ANY staff members period. Now, when you are paying $80 a person plus some for a bar, food, etc it is very irritating that others can hop in and just help themselves because their wedding "wasn't as fun" as they told my husband. All in all it is a pretty good venue, but you get what you pay for. The customer service and accommodations just aren't really there in concerns to really paying attention to details and making sure its clean and ready for the next event. Communication is also poor between most people there so it is just a mess across the board for things like that. I was happy with my day but shocked with the lack of care and concern from the venue about holding up their end of matters. It felt kind of like "well we got your money already so tough".

ften took a while, and there was absolutely no one there to assist with day of concerns. The ladies’ bathroom flooded the day of and they put a sign out however it was like pulling teeth to get in touch with someone. The one of the two bartenders were extremely rude to guests, my parents, and myself. The look of the venue was enough for us to overlook this and we still have people telling us how much. They loved the rolls!!

od, our beef was cold and we told them right away and they fixed it for the rest of the guest. They were so accommodating and helped set out or doughnuts for the doughnut bar. We were in the King Richard room and it was so cozy and decorated for Christmas helping with the winter rustic feel of our wedding. The grounds are beautiful and we got amazing pictures. Our day was perfect and Kylie was so helpful with making sure everything ran smoothly. Definitely would recommend to people who are on a wedding budget but still want somewhere classy and delicious!

the point of intoxication. We were charged 50.00 per pizza for late night snack. They only made 10 pizzas. No dessert plates brought out - they cleared food before everyone ate. They said the food was ready for bridal party - it was not - THE BANQUET MANAGER ATE OUR FOOD. Food was not kept warm while on the buffet line. Emily the evening employee was rude, and offensive as well as the office manager Kylie. I would never recommend this place. THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED OUR CALL IN OVER 3 WEEKS

the King Richard room with 205 guests, we were able to bring in our own style because it’s all beautiful woodwork and goes with just about anything. We also used the chapel for our ceremony. It was the perfect mix of rustic and antique. Kylie was amazing to work with; very personable and quick to respond to my questions. The day of coordinator, Crystal is fantastic!! She was so attentive and helpful. The staff was easy going and allowed us to have a great time. The only thing I was bummed about is that I wasn’t told it was kids trick or treating the same day at Canterbury Village. It was so crowded we didn’t get to take some of the pictures we wanted too. Overall it was a great time, great venue and our wedding was perfect!

make false overly exaggerated comments is unnecessary. My wedding was not cheap, & the venue was no where close to being a “dirty dump”. My ceremony was in the chapel not a shack, our wedding pictures behind the stained glass were beautiful. The staff was more then helpful, professional & lovely to work with. There was no issue with the restrooms what so ever the day of my event, in fact it looked like they were cleaned right before our arrival! Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to food. You will never please all your guests considering everyone has different tastes. I received several compliments from my wedding guest on how beautiful/unique & different my wedding was. They were impressed with the grounds, venue, & the convince of having the village with a verity of things to do! I personally feel bad for the bride who had this person stand up in the wedding. The bride liked the chapel & venue enough to book their wedding & was basically told the happiest day of her life was something she should be embarrassed by.

married in a shack of a "chapel", with a "Tiffany"stained glass window - which makes absolute ZERO sense in the location, you might be on to something...or, on something, for that matter. The staff must have all partied hard together the night before, because they were all basically clueless AND useless. The bathrooms were filthy. Come on, seriously?? The food was mediocre, at best. "Canterbury Village" - is nothing more that a tacky Christmas shop with a grimy dollar store feel. Come on whoever owns this - Frankenmuth is barely up the highway. Why bother with this? As a wedding party member, I was (and still am) a little pissed. This place sucks.

pel were both stunning and perfectly accommodating to her 150 guests! Her guests were blown away by the details of the woodwork and how unique this venue was compared to others she had previously looked at. The food was so tasty and the staff was nothing but helpful and attentive the entire night! The wedding was everything I could have wanted for my sister!

of a renaissance festival. I highly recommend whoever took the photos of this place however - they made a white trash venue look pretty good.

ts were able to show up for my ceremony in the Wedding Chapel & walk over to our reception. They were able to walk around Canterbury Village while we took our wedding pictures. We used flowers of the forest for our beautiful wedding arrangements. The best part is they are also located on site. For a late night snack Yates brought over cider and donuts, making it super easy for us considering they are apart of the village. You can’t beat the prices this truly unique wedding venue has to offer. Looking at other venues we got discouraged by pricing. With Kings Court Castle we were able to afford our dream wedding, with out loosing out on the quality of the food and great service. Thank you again Kings Court staff!!! If your looking for a wedding venue that has it all, makes everything stress free, and is affordable I highly recommend you give them a call.

round, we were treated like family! The staff was extremely attentive with all of our wants and needs. The communication and ideas the staff provided was beyond exceptional! The chapel, landscape and all of the natural beauty in the castle make for such breathtaking photos we couldn't have asked for anything more. I got married in December but any time of year this venue would make for such a romantic ambiance, one that every bride should experience on her wedding day! Around the Holidays the inside of the Castle is decorated with just the right amount of holiday décor, while the grounds have a beautiful glow from the Christmas lights throughout the village. The food was great and the King Richard room was a wonderful place with access to the outdoor patio for a nice breath of fresh air after dancing the night away. Our guests got to enjoy the C-Pub and the Village shops while waiting for cocktail hour. I have received nothing but compliments from my guests on how impressed they were! I can't recommend this place enough! A true five star all around!

es from the night before were left on the ground, Vomit was left on the floor, tables were not set up, puddles of who-knows-what were all over the floor. The chapel's heat was not turned on, and the girl was vacuuming the carpet only hours before the wedding. My daughter, the bride, asked if the stage could be cleaned as there were dead bugs all over it, they gave her a broom, and she cleaned it herself. After the wedding, we were then informed we had to clean up the flower petals, so we had to clean the room before and after, what was the fee that we paid used for? At the reception the food was not ready when we were suppose to start, and they ran out of food. About a third of our guests did not get any chicken or beef. Do not even consider this venue for your wedding, this place is horrible!

ption. The entire venue from the banquet rooms to the outdoor grounds, and the chapel are beautiful. My questions were answered promptly and fully. The room was set up exactly as we had requested, the food was delicious, the appetizers were amazing, and we were able to accomplish it all while working within my budget. I was extremely happy with how professionally Canterbury handled the planning and execution of my wedding, and I would use them again. Also, we used the Canterbury Yates location for the favors (caramel apples) and the midnight snack (cider & donuts). Arranging both was so easy and enjoyable. I can’t thank the staff enough for making everything so easy for us, and for their excellent customer service. Over all my guests were impressed with Kings Court Castle, and I would highly recommend them for a wedding or an event!!!!

dding, everything went perfectly. The staff made sure that every little detail was taken care of. Our reception ball room was beautiful, giving us the romantic style we were going for. Kings Court Castle has a beautiful antique feel; with the hardwood floors, and breath taking chandeliers, there was no need for extra decorating. . The food was delicious, I was IMPRESSED that many of my guests said it was the best wedding food they've ever had!! Canterbury village was the perfect location for us to take our wedding pictures. Every inch of the property provides a breath taking photo worthy backdrop. The wedding coordinator Kylie was so helping in accommodating us with any and all requests from special meals to special drinks for our guests! !!! Everything we asked for we got and they even offered things we never thought to ask for. ABOVE and BEYOND my expectations. Highly Recommended.

nt of the terrible service). Let me just say this: It was trashed when we got there for setup, all of the tablecloths were extremely wrinkled and stained (also the napkins) THERE WAS A PLATE holding up a side of one of the guest tables (yes, a dinner plate) AND ON THE BRIDAL TABLE as well. Vomit had been sitting in the bathroom the entire night/day. Absolutely a circus show asking for help- the manager continuously told me "this is how it is, and always has been." Completely unprofessional people there. It was a terrible experience, save yourself the trouble and do not book here- I have never felt the urge to leave a bad review until I experienced this. Check out my full review under Melissa Pellone if you want the whole story on google forums.

ve the ceremony and reception in one location but two separate spaces/buildings. There was tons for our guests to do between the ceremony and reception which definitely helped with planning and everyone's excitement. We ended up working with 3 different event managers which made things complicated. Each person we worked with had their own ideas - had I not been an event manager by trade it may have been more frustrating. The first manager we worked with discussed specific things with us that would be done and when the final manager began working with us she said they weren't possible. Fast forward to the night of and Crystal was AMAZING! We had some hiccups with the table setups from what I had originally sent in and Crystal made sure everything was perfect throughout the whole night. The staff carrying out the day is what saved our experience. GREAT JOB!

to describe just how beautiful the chapel and reception hall truly were and they made our pictures pop! The only frustrating thing was during the time I booked the venue and up until the wedding day they had 3 different coordinators. It did get confusing who I was trying to contact at times and the lack of communication between each coordinator became frustrating. Overall, I'm still highly satisfied with the outcome and each person I dealt with was polite and helpful. Minor mistakes did take place the night of our wedding but the gentleman assigned to us was on top of everything and made sure he brought things to our attention or the bridal parties attention so we weren't left in the dark. That was something I greatly appreciated! Hands down this was the most gorgeous venue we found and I recommend it to everyone!

dding day. The current coordinator is Kylie and she's the best one we worked with in our opinion! The banquet manager, Crystal, is also amazing! We loved Crystal and she worked very hard to make everything perfect for us! That place is absolutely gorgeous outside and inside. Our fall wedding was stunning. Another plus is we had Yates Cider Mill (on site) cater the dessert! It was fantastic as well. Highly recommend this venue!!!!

y also have a carousel open for pictures too. They do more than just weddings and I would defiantly book them for another event.

The grounds are beautiful and allow you to do everything in one place! The staff was very helpful and responsive to all communication!

d really made our experience one to remember. The banquet staff and manager were both helpful and extremely professional. Our vendors even complimented the staff on their professionalism. Overall we were really impressed with our experience and have recommended the space to many of our now engaged friends.

have their event at this wonderful venue!

nowledgeable as she has answered every crazy question we threw her way! Searching for venues was the hardest part for us, and Kings Court made it so easy. Everything you need is in one location!! Can’t wait for our big day!

was unfriendly and unwelcoming from the get go but ignoring better judgement I booked the venue anyway. We were on a short timeline as we got engaged 12/31/15 and wanted a fall wedding. We booked with King's Court in February and were so excited to have a ceremony and reception location! Emphasis on "were so excited". We went to our food tasting and the FOOD WAS AWFUL. Please ask me for photos, I have them. The filet looked like ground hamburger, the chicken was dry, poor quality and saturated in sauce. I am not a picky eater by any means but it was TERRIBLE. My fiances salad at the tasting had a dead fruit fly on it. We expressed our concerns to Brittany and she suggested an additional tasting, we agreed but also inquired (in a polite way) about a possibility of outside catering. I kid you not, this was the email I received after ASKING about the possibility of outside catering: Hi Sarah, I just had a response back from my General Manager, and it has been decided it would be in both parties best interest that we return your deposit and void the contract that you have with us. From all of us here at King’s Court Castle we wish you and Ben the best of luck in your future! Sincerely, They cancelled on us, less than 6 months before our wedding. I, of course, asked to speak with Brittany after receiving this email and she was conveniently "busy" and I asked to speak with management SEVERAL times and never got a response back. I would NOT suggest King's Court to ANYONE unless the management, Brittany and the Food ARE GONE. It was a terrible, stressful experience and I am appalled at how UNPROFESSIONAL that entire establishment was. Please save yourself the stress and find a beautiful new venue with quality food your guests deserve and a wedding coordinator who is excited to help

very helpful. It is a beautiful location and our day was magical.

nique space and it looked so cute!

rything we may possibly need.

, and the staff was all willing to help make any little last minute changes that we had. I was beyond impressed with the venue and its staff.

manager, Becky made sure our reception was perfect. This venue is also very affordable! I highly recommend this place for your wedding.

ehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception all in one place. It was very comforting having everything at one venue. Kings Court staff was wonderful to work with when planning food and making any changes to accommodate us. I am so happy we chose to use Kings Court Castle for our big day!
