From the reviews
Having our wedding at Sand Castle was the best decision we could have made. From the beginning, Loula and Jamie were there every step of the way to help answer questions as we started planning. We never went more than a few hours before hearing back from them, which was refreshing!
First of, THANK YOU for making our day feel absolutely AMAZING! You guys did a terrific job in setting up, guiding us, making sure we are drinking/eating, and helping us get through our nerves. Every single guests and children were raving about our wedding. Everyone from all ages LOVED it.
I had the pleasure of working a wedding at Sand Castle as the day-of coordinator, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Working alongside Martin and his team was truly a pleasure — everyone was incredibly attentive, professional, and responsive throughout the day.
What more can I say but that this venue made my wife’s and I dream come true. Hands down, this was by far the best experience having our wedding day hosted by Sand Castle. From beginning to end, we were met with professionalism, no-hassle conversations, and support.
Getting married at Sand 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 — Sand 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.
