Castles Weddings For A Memorable Wedding
Castles weddings can be a great option for a fantastic wedding. A castle wedding is a grandiose reception and if you are looking for a glamorous and extravagant wedding then holding your wedding at a castle is the perfect choice. Castles can be found in Europe, the US as well as the United Kingdom.
There are several castles in the US that are excellent wedding venues. Newport, Rhode Island has its own castle, Belcourt castle. This castle was built in 1891 and has 60 rooms.
The Biltmore estate is quite extensive with over 250 rooms. This castle was designed like a French chateaux but you will find all modern facilities inside with a gym, bowling alley and indoor pool. The grounds are extensive with mountains and forests nearby.
A combination of a destination and castle wedding can be found at Iolani Palace in Hawaii. This palace is based off of Florentine design and is the only true castle in the US. A more convenient location, particularly if you live in New York is OHEKA Castle Hotel. This castle was built in 1919 and is located under an hour from Manhattan. If you want to have a fun filled weekend then have your ceremony and reception as well as accommodation at the castle hotel.
There are also many castles in Europe that can hold a wedding. England, Wales and Scotland have many castles and you can have a reception, non-religious wedding, and civil partnerships. Some popular British castles include Augill Castle, Bovey Castle, Carr Hall Castle, Coombe Abbey, Eastnor Castle, Hazlewood castle and Langley Castle to name but a few.
Having your wedding at a French chateaux is the ultimate in romance. A French chateaux will provide you the opportunity to use one large room for your reception, a section of the chateau or you can book the entire chateaux depending on the size of your party. Some French chateaux’s that offer wedding services include Chateau de Mercues, Chateau de la Barre, Chateau de Jallanges, Chateau de Codignat, Chateau de Bagnols, and Chateau d’Audrieu.
