Here are a few ideas from Cyndi Durham on how brides can save money at virtually all Wedding Venues, including The Castle:
BOOK YOUR WEDDING ON A DAY OTHER THAN SATURDAYS:
Saturdays are by far the most popular day for Weddings. Many wedding venues book up far in advance. Because they are in demand, available Saturdays can be hard to find, and expensive.
However, brides who are flexible with their booking date can save a bundle of money by getting married on a day other than Saturdays.
At The Castle, we offer big disounts for booking your Wedding during weekdays and on Fridays or Sundays! To see how much you can save, please take a moment to visit our ONLINE CALENDAR. Please enter your desired wedding date and tell us a little about your dream wedding. Be sure to mention that you are open to saving money on a Friday or Sunday! We promise to email you all the appropriate packages within 24 hours.
In North Georgia, 75% of all weddings take place between April 1st and November 30th. Available dates (especially Saturdays) are in high demand and bargains are rare. So why not get married during the off season when wedding venues are more eager to do business?
At Cavender Castle we offer steep disounts for winter weddings held between December and March. To see how much you can save, please take a moment to visit our ONLINE CALENDAR. Please enter your desired wedding date and tell us a little about your dream wedding. Be sure to mention that you are open to saving money on a Friday or Sunday! We promise to email you all the appropriate packages within 24 hours.
ALCOHOL: This is another area of huge savings! First, offering only beer and wine for your guests will always be less expensive than offering mixed drinks. Second, look for venues (like The Castle) that permit you to bring in your own alcoholic beverages! B.Y.O.B. arrangements allow brides to better control their costs and avoid surprises. Brides and grooms using a BYOB venue also have the option of offering premium spirits and imported beers and wines that might not be available at all venues. No matter how you cut it, smart brides and grooms can save $10 to $20 per adult by being smart with their Alcohol decisons.

Some Wedding Venues have been known to offer a low "come-on" fee to get your date booked. Then, when you start to plan the details they hit you with a growing list of add-on charges such as Cake Cutting Fees, Corkage Fees, Wedding Chair Rentals, Linen Rentals, Decoration Fees, Set-Up Fees, Cleaning Fees...... the list can go on, and on, and on. Beware!
Look for venues (like The Castle) that offer All-Inclusive Wedding Packages and services. At The Castle we make all of our decorations, services, and supplies available at one easy to understand fee. Look for venues who do the same!
