Wedding tips for castles
CASTLE OR CHATEAU WEDDING? HOW TO START?
We get a couple of dozen times a year the same request, "We would love to get married at one of the castles or chateaux in or nearby Prague".
It is understandable, Prague and the Central Bohemia (close to Prague) have over 700 castles, chateaux, fortresses, towers and many more historical monuments.
However, to be honest it is one of the biggest challenges we can face. Why ?
Many of these castles and chateaux have hundreds of tourist visitors each weekend, so to bring your wedding party there can be quite an unnecessary challenge if you are not well guided.
Almost anything is possible but the question is affordability - what's worth it and what's not?
We have prepared for our Top 10 best castles and chateaux near Prague of venues. You may contact these venues directly, some even have an in-house wedding coordinator. However, just the title on a business card does not make a good wedding planner although they are the in castle or chateaux specialist.
What can we do for you to make your castle and chateaux wedding a reality?
- Help you to make a shortlist of 5-6 which you can visit with or without us
- Help you to see the differences and suitability
- Present you different options and our independent, professional opinions
- Plan your wedding with you, and be your wedding planner to this dream wedding comes true
We usually have clients who wanted a castle wedding, and they are surprised how many things need to be considered, and how difficult it can be to choose. Just a few things to consider:
- Some castles just do wedding ceremonies, or strict restrictions
- Some castles provide cater for weddings, but the setup can be difficult or expensive in case of rain
- Some castles do not have electricity, heating or even bathroom, which can represent an extra cost if you decide to rent all the equipment that is missing
- Some chateaux are so popular that they can cost 10 000 EUR+ just for the rental fee
Make sure to have your questions ready before contacting the venues, and do not hesitate to ask a wedding planner to help you with the communication. As we have years of experience in castle and chateau weddings, we are always happy to guide you, and to share with you the questions you may not forget to ask.
On the other hand it can be a great fun for those who really want to go for the very special experience from Medieval, 17th,18th century to very lavish castles and chateaux with a great deal of privacy and exclusivity.
We will be happy to help, please, do not hesitate to contact us for more details.
