I had my wedding at the Louisiana Castle on October 13,2017. It was the most amazing experience we could have asked for! We had read the reviews on the knot and we had done some other research trying to make sure this was the venue for us and... it most definitely was. The reviews about this place can sound really scary, but if you know what you want and you communicate properly and ask questions then everything will work out famously. The venue itself is so unique and beautiful, the grounds are gorgeous and the castle is just breathtaking. The wedding cake and grooms cake came out beautiful, just like the picture I sent to Mrs Julie, and tasted absolutely delicious. We hired Rock-it productions to be the DJ for the ceremony and reception. Mary, the coordinator was fantastic, she took charge and led us were we needed to go, kept us informed, reminded us of the little things, and got us anything we needed. The food was delicious. The Juliet suite was clean, beautiful and comfortable (my girls and I got our hair and makeup done before we got to the castle since we only had an hour before the ceremony) so we used the Juliet suite for pictures and to get dressed. We decided to stay at the Castle for the night, and at the end of the night, after the reception, they had a few big boxes of left over food for us in the refrigerator that is in the Juliet suite and they let us have access to the soft drinks down stairs. The hot tub looked amazing but we never got a chance to use it. All in all, I had my doubts, I read the reviews and heard the stories but it was the most amazing experience I could have ever wanted or asked for. I feel like the only way it could go wrong is if you don't read the contract through and through, or ask questions. As long as you communicate with Dolly, Mary, and Julie, it will be the best experience!!
