Kristin and George have been together for 18 years. One day, not long ago, George suggested that they get married. They chose the date that is exactly between the birthdays of their two beautiful boys. This day threatened hail and tornadoes as the morning arrived. But somehow, after the morning rains, the skies cleared and gave them a glorious, warm, dry, and even a little peeking sunlight for the afternnon, just in time to walk down the aisle.
Suzi & Ian, accompanied by their children and close family, shared an intimate wedding ceremony at Castle Farms in Charlevoix this past Saturday in Queens Courtyard and hosted a reception in Queens Tavern.

Dean and Becky were married at Frog Pond Village on what turned out to be a cool, rainy, spring day. We made the most of what we had and their love showed through it all. These two had some fancy footwork for their first dance that put “Dancing With the Stars” to shame!
The weather changed it’s attitude the following day, so they put themselves back together, I did my best attempt at styling bridal hair, and we went out to play in the sun.
Kimberly & Derek were married at the Sequanota Club in Charlevoix, MI on a lovely, sunny May day, surrounded by their closest friends and family. They designed their own custom wedding bands, had hand-made paper flowers, and a beautiful vista that perfectly matched their style. This simple and easy event was officiated by Derek’s father and Kim’s hair and make-up was done by one of her bridesmaids.
Jodi, Todd, and their daughters were the willing participants in the Castle Farms Not So Real Wedding event. Jodi and Todd are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary this month and after hearing the stories about their real wedding years ago, they deserved this fantastic event! They were so great to work with and be around! Days like this with lovely people like these, affirm my faith in long-lasting unions and make me proud to do my job.
This event was a bridal show alternative that showcased some of the best Preferred Service Providers from Castle Farms’ PSP list. It showcased a vow renewal ceremony, delicious dinner, and dance party reception. Guests were able to have a full-sensory Castle Farms wedding experience; seeing, tasting, and hearing the wedding vendors in action!
