The setting
“As soon as we hired Palace Events for our wedding day, the herculean task of planning a wedding in Bloomington from the east coast went to the wayside.”
Inside the castle
What couples say again and again
“We ended up renting drapery, a photo booth, a chandelier, and a beautiful lighted wall behind our sweetheart table—and everything turned out stunning!”
“They know exactly how to transform a space and are able to walk you through the entire process, give ideas, and provide above and beyond support throughout.”
“The setup and teardown crews were efficient and respectful of our space, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free.”
“They were easy to work with, adjusted when we needed something a little different day of, and were so so kind when we needed a different pickup time (very last minute).”
“The tables, chairs, drapes, photo backdrop & lights was everything we dreamed of plus more.”
From the reviews
We had a great experience working with Palace Events for our wedding! I worked with Mia during the planning process, and she was so helpful every step of the way. As we figured out what we needed, Mia was patient, responsive, and guided me through all the options until we found the perfect setup for our big day.
As soon as we hired Palace Events for our wedding day, the herculean task of planning a wedding in Bloomington from the east coast went to the wayside. Palace didn't just cover our planning, they also covered all our rentals, hooked us up with a Deejay, and were present to support ALL of our wedding whims.
A huge Thank you to Palace Events! We hired Mike and his team at Palace Events to provide a clear span tent, tables, chairs, linens, chargers, lights, dance floor, stage, Boxwood backdrop for band, and wedding planning plus "day of" coordinating service. Everything was absolutely beautiful!!
I want to start by saying THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE PALACE EVENTS TEAM FOR EVERYTHING! You all have been nothing but great to work with. I highly recommend Palace Events for all your rental needs for ANY event. My dream wedding came true.
Getting married at Palace Events
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 — Palace Events 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.
