From the reviews

Holy cow! (Never seen a holy cow. Maybe the ones from pharaohs dream are holy? Or maybe the one that got shot by a cowboy... Definitely needs some clarity but not now...) What a beautiful hall! I must say, if my guys would allow me, that this is the nicest wedding hall I've been to in Lakewood.

I had an absolutely incredible experience at Cedar Palace! The venue itself is stunning, but what truly makes the event unforgettable is the exceptional service from manager Aaron. From start to finish, he goes above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect.

Getting married at Cedar Palace

A castle wedding is the once-in-a-lifetime, storybook kind — the grand staircase, the ballroom, the gardens and turrets your photos will live on forever. Castle weddings commonly run $10,000–$40,000+ depending on the date, guest count, and how much is included, so ask for a written quote for your season — Cedar Palace doesn’t publish a set price, and tiers move fast. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you’d actually get married — a ballroom that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you’ll want to walk the path your guests take from the gates to the ceremony to the reception. Second, bring your real questions: what’s included with the venue fee (tables, chairs, setup, teardown), the catering and bar policy, whether you can stay overnight on-site, the rain plan for a garden ceremony, and the music curfew. Fairytale dates at castle venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what’s open in your season before you leave.
