Can't see if this is case but make sure it's a dirt plane at bottom. The green colour looks a bit unnatural - maybe make it less green and add a bit more blue? Also, adding more blue could create an orange/blue contrast though a very weak, faint one which is always good.

Increase the floor tile, add carpets, add dirt floor decals, perhaps try knocking a few chairs over...
OK, I increased the floor tile and added carpets. However this is supposed to be a flashback to a wedding so dirt on the floor and knocked over chairs won't fit (I'm assuming you were operating under the impression it was your typical Amnesia abandoned church type thing

Make the boxlight darker (so the ceiling area isn't as well lit as the ground where all the lights are shining), use a plentiful amount of dark pointlights to help blend it a little...
Made the boxlight a bit darker, but I dunno what you mean about pointlights. Do I just put really low (like .05,.05,.05) point lights just all over the place? If so how big should each be?

Consider using planks of wood to cover some of the windows and using the different styles of curtains to add variety...
I added curtains (there's only one style, just different sizes and open/closed versions) but see my statement above as to why boards on windows won't fit

Perhaps add other sources of lighting e.g. torches, candlesticks...
Done.

fix the tiling on the ceiling (the texture seems very small), add some support structures like wooden beams
Done. Funfact: First time I loaded the level I had forgot to set all those wood beams as Static so they all came falling down and scared the shit out of me.

and also, one thing very few people seem to do, ADD PILLARS/WELDERS BETWEEN EACH CASTLEBASEWALL. There is a seam in the texture - it doesn't add up quite right if you look closely.
I usually keep an eye out for seams and put in welders when needed, but this flashback will be a linear computer-controlled one so the player won't have a chance to get close and see the seems.

Your lighting has improved a ton! Have you tried connecting the billboards to a light source?

If not, under the "Billboard" tab in the level editor second from the bottom, there's a blank labelled "connected light source" and a button that says "connect". Click the button and then click the light you want to connect the billboard to. The billboard (or billboards) will now be the same colour as that light; if you adjust the light colour, you can adjust the billboard colour. I would suggest making a small pointlight off to the side with a radius of 0.25 outside the map and naming it something like "billboard_light".

Also, make sure you change the colour of your particles. You can do this under the "Particle System" tab (to the right of "General") when you have a particle system selected. Under the Particle system label, there's a box labelled "color"; click on the box and move the sliders (same way you change a light's colour). Keep the alpha above 0 but below 0.9 (anything above 0.9 is way to opaque).

BeeKayK, your overgrown area looks delightful! Maybe try turning the grass decal green (or whatever colour the plants are) and spamming it along the walls/planes if you haven't already.
