A Winter Wedding is Coming

When Erin Colombo and David Pifko first heard about Castle Farms in Charlevoix, they knew it was a perfect fit for their wedding day. The Detroit couple and self-described fantasy nerds didn’t even tour other venues after seeing the King’s Great Hall, where they held their ceremony and reception.

“We fell in love with the idea of a castle wedding largely because of Game of Thrones,” Erin says. “Our love for the show runs deep. Once we committed to the castle, the rest seemed to just fall into place.”

Even the surprise snowstorm.
