Canterbury Castle

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!

ordable.

lso 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!!

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.

t! 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!

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!!

ea, in a beautiful place, with delicious food, friendly staff, and on a budget!

rying 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".

st 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!!

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!

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

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!

g 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.

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.

ests! 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!

photos of this place however - they made a white trash venue look pretty good.

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.

ntive 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!
