A Castle Farms Wedding | Lydia + Andrew

Who would’ve thought that from their love of Northern Michigan, Lydia and Andrew’s journey would lead them to a beautiful wedding at Castle Farms? The couple had always been drawn to Northern Michigan, especially the beauty of Torch Lake, a place that holds a special spot in their hearts. Lydia had long admired Castle Farms, and when it came time to choose their venue, she knew this was the perfect place to gather their loved ones for such a significant occasion. The majestic setting of Castle Farms, combined with the tranquil Northern Michigan atmosphere, made it an ideal location for their wedding.

The morning of the wedding unfolded in a mix of emotions and activities. Andrew spent the morning golfing with his groomsmen, followed by a relaxing time at the lake, keeping things easy and calm. Lydia, on the other hand, experienced a morning that seemed to move slowly until the pace suddenly quickened, with everyone rushing around to get ready. Despite the busyness, seeing Andrew throughout the morning brought her a sense of peace, knowing that they would soon be married at the beautiful Castle Farms.

As the day progressed, certain moments stood out to both Lydia and Andrew. For Andrew, the first look in the yard at the lake was a highlight, as was the bus ride to Castle Farms with their bridal party. Walking down the aisle with his mom, only to meet his dad at the end who served as their officiant, was another unforgettable moment. Lydia fondly remembers their private vows exchanged on the dock at Torch Lake and the special first dance where they invited their parents and grandparents to join in, honoring their long-lasting marriages. The ceremony at Castle Farms was particularly special for Lydia, as standing beside Andrew, ready to embark on their life together, felt almost surreal.

After the ceremony at Castle Farms, the couple had a brief moment alone as they walked out of the garden, feeling a mix of relief and excitement. This quiet time together was a favorite memory for Andrew, capturing the joy of finally being married. For Lydia, standing at the altar with Andrew, filled with excitement and love, was a moment she will never forget.

In reflecting on their day, Lydia and Andrew recall the advice that helped guide them. Andrew wisely noted the importance of remembering to eat, while Lydia emphasized the value of sticking close to your spouse throughout the day. Their own advice to future couples planning a wedding is equally insightful. Lydia strongly recommends hiring a wedding planner to help ease the stress of planning, while Andrew suggests taking the week before the wedding off to fully enjoy the days leading up to the big event.

Lydia and Andrew’s wedding at Castle Farms in Michigan was more than just a celebration; it was a day filled with heartfelt moments, surrounded by the people they love in a place that means so much to them. The stunning Castle Farms venue, combined with the natural beauty of Northern Michigan, created the perfect backdrop for a wedding day that was truly unforgettable.
