Castle Ridge - Wedding & Event Venue - Centralia, Illinois

Just wanted to thank you guys again for making my wedding so beautiful and perfect. Would have been better if the 5K runners had left my side alone but thankfully they only disrupted my photos...and had their kids running around the wedding room. But that's not your guy's fault, they knew better. You guys seriously made our wedding perfect and I just can't thank you enough.

If you haven't been to Castle Ridge you need to. It is amazing and the food and drinks are top notch. An actual large castle on a lake with beautiful grounds that surround the castle for a wonderful view and grand experience. If your child is in to baseball they also have a sports unit separate from the castle for training and actual pro players from time to time. If you want to impress your date the castle will make them feel most special.

The castle has plenty of room for events, family gatherings and what a wonderful setting for her dream wedding. You really must check it out you'll be glad you did.

I figured i would give castle ridge restaurant stonewater another chance.
I didn't have good food experiences in the past but it been a year so I figured let's try.
Waitress was super professional and friendly but the atomplshere was off. A few tables no crowd at all. I was hoping the food would come through. One thing I enjoyed in the past was their spinach and articoke dip. Unfortunately I didn't taste nor see the artichoke and it was runny and the top was burnt. When I asked they said that's the way we do it.
Also the shrimp scampi was highly recommended but they need to to rename it to shrimp scampi olive oil soup. All you could taste was the olive oil and it was 2 inches thick at the bottom.
So, unfortunately there's a reason why the restaurant doesn't have a bigger crowd. The food isn't up to the view.

From walking up to the castle to having our desert was amazing! Beautiful atmosphere, Jamie Lee our waitress did awsome , we had fresh stuffed mushrooms for appetizers that were delicious. My husband had the prime rib pasta, I had spinich artichoke chicken both were amazing. For desert we had an amazing brownie alamode and cheesecake. They have such a wide variety on there menu to chose from as well as many desserts and drinks too chose.
Definitely worth the trip!!

This afternoon we had the opportunity in attending one of their soft openings for the main floor restaurant. I say main floor, because they will be offering/opening up 2 additional restaurants, one for fine dining (2nd floor) and also the rooftop restaurant - all within the same fabulous castle resort style venue that they have so fantastically created for our town of Centralia. It is refreshing to be here, the service is out of this world, and you feel very well taken care of. ALL of the staff is so very accommodating and gracious with their services. The food is excellent. We had both the grilled oysters as well as the half-shell oysters, steaks, baked macaroni, baked potatoes, and wine. Everything was deliciously perfect. This place is definitely needed to be visited when in our area. You will not be disappointed. We learned a lot throughout a guided tour about all the luxuries they are offering. From rooftop dining, a venue for musical guests and artists, kayaking courses, future amphitheater; to the events on their veranda and their grounds - they do/will have it all. We learned about cottages and a hotel - as well as about the sport academy that they have. This is such a great place 5+ stars. We can't wait to return!

Lily Greer is a phenomenal event coordinator/planner!! I worked with her a couple weekends ago when I did a live wedding painting and she was so helpful and accommodating. She truly went above and beyond what any other coordinator has done! Highly recommend her service and this venue!
