this place is a literal CASTLE on 3,400 acres in Douglas County run by a foundation, and it shows in the reviews. it apparently does almost 500 events a year but the 5 i read were all tea and tour visits rather than weddings, still, docents Serena, Michelle and John all get praised for great tours and everyone raves about the petrified wood arches on the grounds (a nearby petrified forest was only discovered in 2010, wild). their weddings page does post couples' thank-you notes praising coordinator Donna for handling every detail, and between the guide pricing and the general vibe i'd call this a special-occasion splurge rather than a budget pick, and you need your own insured planner lined up before they'll even talk venue rental. There's no overnight lodging on site, and catering must come from their approved vendor list.
