Alyrik's Castle

Alyrik's Castle planned a wedding for my brother, about 3 years ago. It was a small, intimate wedding, but for our budget, Alyrik's Castle went way beyond what we ever expected! We thought our space was too small for the wedding-wish list, but the team at Alyriks Castle rearranged the space and all of the wish list ides were brought to fruition. My sister in law wanted the night lights to resemble a, sort of, fairy garden and the decorations to give the ambiance of fresh organics and flowers. Dari and her team came through! Not only were there fresh flowers and vines, but arches covered in baby' breath, tiny cream colored rose buds and ivy; mood lighting throughout the seating areas, walking isle and bordering the venue. Dari highlighted the alter with an arch of lights and vines that resemble the something out of the Garden of Eden and romantic acoustics set the mood for a beautiful wedding. The hors d' oeuvres were well planned and the bar menu was perfectly paired with the entrée. Fresh salmon with a rice pilaf and arugula salad is what I had. There was steak too, but the salmon was TO-DIE-FOR!!! I didn't try the cake, but the photos of the cake look incredible and I saw our grandmother go back for a second helping. :)Anyhow, we were so pleased with the service provided by Alyrik's Castle, that we used them again, for our Grandparents 65th wedding anniversary. It certainly didn't need to be as elegant as a wedding, but once again, Dari and her team came full-force! We had no idea that the party should be adorned in the color of Blue Sapphire, but it was beautifully done! The food was better than expected, with a little of everything for everyone. The Mariachi Band was a nice touch, too! My Grandmother always wants to listen to Mariachi...I look forward to working with Dari and Alyrik's Castle for all of our upcoming parties. We couldn't do any of it without them!

This business did a wedding shower for my granddaughter. Dari, the owner, and her crew were the greatest people to work with. They were responsive, on time, and did everything as promised. Dari's attention to detail and professionalism was very evident. I strongly recommend d this business.

I really feel awful about this review but facts are facts. I really loved Dari and her husband. This wedding was supposed to be extremely formal, big beautiful wedding arch with my daughter colors that were not used. The arch was disappointing at best. The wedding was destroyed from the get go. Dari continued to reassure me all would be well she didn't take any crap and I trusted her. First late to rehearsal, no music but we had the wedding song down and was assured it would be so. The DJ botched the walk down the aisle she did nothing. Then she recommended photographers represented them as having done pictures at weddings before, again I trusted her. Not true first wedding and their website I won't go there. The pictures were horrible, cut off, black and white when not requested. Told them I wanted them changed to color That's what I paid for and the wedding was October 30 and I'm still waiting. One of the things that everybody noticed was that Dari hadn't changed and was running around in shorts and everybody kept asking us who the woman was running around in shorts. That was an embarrassing moment and then my daughter and her new husband and then I went out later and Dari was outside crying not some thing you expect from a wedding planner I was the one crying because my daughter's wedding that could never be repeated was botched by photographers then it was botched by allowing the DJ to continue on with disgusting music she didn't make them stick to the schedule it was just a free-for-all so everything she promised us and we paid for she basically didn't have the bite to go with her bark and I felt really cheated. Granted the venue had their issues as well and those are in a different yelp review under star dance event center but that is why I hired Dari and as I said she made it sound like she had all the bark and bite that we needed but when it came down to it she really didn't do anything I could've done it better I just didn't want to and by then it was too late. A wedding that was supposed to go until 1030 was over by 8:45 my daughter was horribly disappointed but her biggest disappointment was the pictures and when I saw that we had been duped when the people who took the pictures per what do you think of our first wedding I was extremely angry and she did not do anything to fix the situation by making them fix these pictures. The one thing that she did recommend that was absolutely excellent was the cake except because she didn't force them with her bark to go by the schedule I didn't get to see my daughter cut her cake in fact I didn't even know she cut her cake and nobody knew there was cake because it was never announced and then we had her running around in shorts all over the place at a formal wedding with doctors and dignitaries. So although she talks a good game when it comes down to actually making the game play you'll find her outside crying. And as I said I don't like to be lied to and telling me that you have worked with these photographers before and implying otherwise that they were professionals when they were just new guys trying to get a business started is not appropriate and if they wanted to play I should not have had to pay $2000. My intention was to file a lawsuit against both but it will not change my daughters wedding, the pictures or her tears. Like I said she talks a great game of protecting the family, etc again when push comes to shove no bite.

I wanted to throw my daughter a wonderful mardi gras themed graduation party but I was so busy I really didn't want to do anything but show up. Alyriks Castle made that possible! They were very professional and we had the best time. I would definitely use them again and appreciate all they did to make the day special for us!

This is THE BEST party planning in the game! They have been there for both my wedding and my oldest daughter's baby shower and professional and fun is the service they provide. Everything was beautiful and to our specifications. Their energy was upbeat and happy and it flowed out to the guests. They reserved, set up, helped host when needed, and cleaned up. AMAZING!! Highly recommend!!
