Cavender Castle did a great job with our wedding! We wanted low stress, simple, and affordable. We got everything we wanted as well as a beautiful ceremony. They also made great recommendations for a hair stylist, flowers, and a location for the reception. Pictures were great. Would highly recommend.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Jun 2021

Excellent kind people! We married last week at the gazebo with a family of 10. Loved that we had the place to ourselves and multiple options setup if we needed to move indoors. Bridal & groom suites were comfortable.

★★★★★ — Dreenie, Feb 2022

I got married at Cavender Castle yesterday & everything went wonderfully! It is a beautiful piece of property & Rick & his family were a pleasure to work with. Anytime I had questions or concerns as an anxious bride, Rick would reassure me that everything was going to be fine & it was!

Getting married at Cavender Castle

A castle wedding is the once-in-a-lifetime, storybook kind — the grand staircase, the ballroom, the gardens and turrets your photos will live on forever. Castle weddings commonly run $10,000–$40,000+ depending on the date, guest count, and how much is included, so ask for a written quote for your season — Cavender Castle doesn’t publish a set price, and tiers move fast. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you’d actually get married — a ballroom that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you’ll want to walk the path your guests take from the gates to the ceremony to the reception. Second, bring your real questions: what’s included with the venue fee (tables, chairs, setup, teardown), the catering and bar policy, whether you can stay overnight on-site, the rain plan for a garden ceremony, and the music curfew. Fairytale dates at castle venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what’s open in your season before you leave.
