Your Fairytale Begins Here: Weddings & Unforgettable Celebrations at Metamora Castle
Is this conversation helpful so far?
An unforgettable setting. A celebration that’s entirely your own. A historic-feeling Indiana landmark ready for its next chapter.
Some places are meant to be experienced. Others are meant to become part of your story.
High above the Whitewater Valley in Metamora, Indiana, a one-of-a-kind stone castle is beginning an exciting new chapter. After nearly a year of restoration, improvements, and a whole lot of determination, Metamora Castle is officially welcoming inquiries and reservations for weddings, elopements, and private celebrations.
Following a ribbon-cutting celebration surrounded by friends, family, and members of the community, owners Brandon and Alicia are ready to share this remarkable property with couples and hosts looking for something beyond the ordinary.
And if you’ve ever dreamed of getting married at a castle, you might be surprised to discover one right here in Southeast Indiana.
A Wedding Venue Unlike Anywhere Else in Indiana
Forget the predictable banquet hall. Forget trying to squeeze your personality into a venue that looks like every other wedding you’ve attended.
Imagine exchanging vows surrounded by stone architecture, celebrating with your favorite people, and watching the sun settle over the rolling hills of the Whitewater Valley.
Metamora Castle offers a setting that’s romantic, dramatic, intimate, and just a little unexpected.
Situated on approximately 39 acres of scenic hillside property, the castle offers panoramic views, distinctive architecture, and an atmosphere that feels worlds away from everyday life.
Whether your vision is a romantic candlelit ceremony, a gothic-inspired wedding, a whimsical fairytale celebration, or an elegant gathering with your closest friends and family, this is a place where your creativity can take center stage.
Your wedding doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Your venue shouldn’t either.
Intimate Castle Weddings, Elopements & Celebrations for Up to 50 Guests
Not every unforgettable wedding needs a guest list of 200 people.
In fact, some of the most meaningful celebrations are the ones where you actually get to spend time with everyone you’ve invited.
Metamora Castle is initially welcoming weddings and private events with 50 guests or fewer, creating opportunities for more personal, intentional celebrations.
The property is especially suited for:
- Intimate weddings and micro weddings
- Elopements and vow renewals
- Gothic, alternative, and fairytale-inspired weddings
- Anniversary celebrations and milestone birthdays
- Engagement parties and bridal celebrations
- Family reunions and private gatherings
- Creative corporate retreats and team celebrations
- Photography sessions and special occasions
From traditional elegance to something wonderfully unconventional, we believe the best celebrations reflect the people behind them.
More Than a Wedding Day: Make an Entire Weekend of It
One of the most exciting things about celebrating at Metamora Castle is that your experience doesn’t have to begin and end in a few hours.
Our wedding and event reservations include a two-night stay, giving you time to settle in, prepare, celebrate, and enjoy the property without the pressure of rushing through your special day.
Weekend Weddings — $4,000
Arrive Friday afternoon, celebrate your wedding on Saturday, and depart Sunday morning.
It’s an opportunity to enjoy the anticipation before the ceremony, spend meaningful time with your favorite people, and wake up the next morning knowing you don’t have to rush out immediately after the reception.
Weekday Weddings — $2,500
Looking for something a little different or more budget-friendly?
Our weekday wedding package includes a Tuesday arrival, Wednesday celebration, and Thursday departure.
You receive the same extraordinary setting with a more accessible price point.
Both wedding packages include the two-night reservation, with overnight accommodations for up to eight guests.
And because we believe your celebration should be yours, you’re welcome to arrange your own food, catering, decorations, and event professionals, subject to our venue guidelines.
No mandatory catering package. No cookie-cutter wedding formula. Just the freedom to bring your vision to life.
A Private Event Venue Worth Celebrating At
Weddings may be one of the most romantic reasons to visit a castle, but they’re certainly not the only reason.
Metamora Castle is also welcoming inquiries for private parties, milestone celebrations, and special gatherings.
Imagine a 40th birthday surrounded by friends in a castle. A memorable anniversary celebration overlooking the valley. A themed Halloween gathering that actually has the atmosphere to match. Or a company celebration that people will still be talking about months later.
Our setting lends itself to events that deserve more than an ordinary rental room.
Private events for up to 50 guests are welcome, with event pricing beginning at $2,500 for qualifying weekday reservations and $4,000 for weekend celebrations.
Whether you’re planning something elegant, unconventional, romantic, or simply unforgettable, we’d love to hear what you have in mind.
A Castle With a Story — And a Future Worth Celebrating
Metamora Castle has long been one of Franklin County’s most recognizable and intriguing properties.
When Brandon and Alicia purchased the castle in 2025, they knew restoring it would be no small undertaking.
From roofing and masonry repairs to major property improvements, the past year has been dedicated to bringing new life to the castle while preserving the character that makes it special.
The work has involved plenty of surprises, long days, and lessons neither owner expected to learn.
But the vision has remained the same: to transform this remarkable landmark into a place where people can create memories of their own.
The recent ribbon cutting marked an important milestone in that journey, and the restoration story is still being written.
By choosing Metamora Castle for your celebration, you’re becoming part of that next chapter.
