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.
Sometimes booking at the last minute can work to your advantage. Most weddings are booked six months to a year in advance. You will find that most wedding venues will give you a steep discount if you book an open date within the next sixty days. The logic is that they would rather book you at a discount rather than have that date go unused
To see how much you can save, with a Short Term Engagement please take a moment to visit our ONLINE CALENDAR. Please enter your desired wedding date(s) and tell us a little about your dream wedding. Be sure to mention that you want to save money with a Short Term Engagement. We promise to email you all the appropriate packages within 24 hours.
So, don't go to Vegas! Bring your family and friends to The Castle, save money, and do it right!
With this difficult economy couples are looking to stretch their wedding budget and use the savings for their honeymoon, or for putting a down payment on their first home. We have built our "Perfect Package" with those couples in mind. This package includes all the basic items needed for a memorable ceremony followed by a simple cake and punch reception. If you are trying to stretch your budget you need to check out this packge:
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!
