Ownbey Elopement

No stress Elopement in a beautiful atmosphere! We spoke with Rick and Cindy for about 2 weeks on details via email. Had a smooth, perfect, stress-free ceremony on the beautiful deck at sundown. Rev Rick was amazing with the vows and the happily ever after tips! I couldn't have asked for a better afternoon. Even with the rain, couldn't rain on our parade. Recommend 10/10!

Perfect Experience!

Rick and Cyndi Durham assisted in the planning and execution of my daughter’s wedding. And it was absolutely perfect! The venue was above and beyond what we expected. Their assistance in so many areas was thoughtful, professional, and exactly what we needed. Could not have asked for a better experience!

Eloped on a Rainy day!

I was blown away with our experience at Cavender Castle! The place is beautiful, the castle is so unique with a vintage vibe, and you have multiple areas to pick for your ceremony. Rick is extremely kind, patient, flexible, and made the Castle feel like home. We had the ceremony outside, even though it was raining! He also knows a lot of stuff about town, and has some really good recommendations. After the ceremony I had forgotten my ring box at the castle , Rick went out of his way to bring it to the hotel me and husband were staying at, and even gave us a call to let us know while me and my husband were out...

Overall, the Castle and the property is beautiful with lots of gorgeous spots for pictures and Rick made the whole experience perfect by making the place feel like home. 10/10 experience, I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a small wedding or is going to elope!

I can not express just how much I loved the staff at Cavender Castle for our wedding. Rick, Cindy and Delaney were absolutely the best. They were very helpful in the wedding planning process, being that we were from out of state I could call or text about any concerns or changes that I had. They were a true blessing to us, especially on our wedding day when more people showed up then we planned for the staff made sure that everyone was accommodated even though I was not very happy about it.

We had originally planned to get married at the courthouse, not wanting to spend a lot of money on a ceremony that not many people would be coming to. I am so glad I found this place and we decided to have the ceremony here. Our wedding was beautiful. Thank you so much for making our new beginning so special!

Cyndi, Rick, and Delaney have been the best! I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for any occasion in the future. Mike and I loved the experience so much we are already planning to go back for a renewal of our vows (in a few years of course). I wholeheartedly recommend Cavender Castle for weddings and events big or small. There is no better value for the money and they will work with you to make sure you get exactly what you want.

We had the wedding of our dreams at The Cavender Castle Venue! Rick, Cyndi and Delaney were incredible to work with for our special day. We had specific needs for family members with health issues and they went above what was necessary to ensure our family members felt dignified and loved. Our beautiful photos were sent to us in an album less than 2 weeks after our wedding, hooray!! Communicating with Cyndi was always hassle-free, enjoyable and quick. Our guests even raved about the details and beauty of our wedding. We cannot thank the Durham's enough for a day we will happily remember forever!

I had the best experience with scheduling my whole small wedding basically through email and text messaging on pretty short notice!!. Rev. Rick made sure that even if it rained, the day would not be ruined and we were able to get married inside the beautiful Castle. He treated me and my family like he already knew us all! I can't say it enough, this was the best experience on top of being so happy we got married, it was in such a friendly stressfree environment!! Thank ya'll again for such a memorable experience!

I got married at Cavender Castle on April 11, 2017. Rick, Cyndi, and Delaney made sure that it was the most magical day of our lives. We barely had to lift a finger once the plans were in place. The outdoor gazebo is an absolutely beautiful place to get married, the indoor reception area is nice and cozy for eating, and the outdoor deck is wonderful for when everyone gets up to dance! The food that the staff made was delicious and fit our theme. These guys are willing I work with you and do everything in their power to make your wedding day special, memorable, and stress free.

I highly recommend planning your wedding with the Durham family! They made a very stress time frame possible to help us plan our big day.

Thank you so much for being do great and sharing the day with us!

Cavender Castle was a DREAM! Cyndi, Rick, and Delaney were so easy to work with. We did a quick, private elopement and they treated us like royalty throughout the process. Our photos were stunning, and we got them back in just a few days! Cyndi and Delaney did a great job helping us pose for photos and find the best lighting, and Rick performed the ceremony with all the wording that we liked - leaving out parts that we didn't want and including an extra reading (and a shout-out to our dog!). 5 stars!!

Rev Rick and his wife are perfect at what they do. He has a flexible wedding ceremony that meets the personal beliefs of each couple. His wife is a great photographer and is detail oriented. They are both pleasant and have a positive attitude. It was a wonderful experience for us.

As an event planner, it was our experience with Cindy that she is the top in her field. We were incredibly impressed by her ability to be professional and personable at the same time. Not one detail was left unturned. In the midst of a busy holiday season, it was a peaceful, joy filled experience! Rick was pleasant to work with but their photographer Delaney was a DELIGHT and extremely talented. Looking back, I made the perfect choice hiring them.

The level of service we received from Cavender Castle was so far above and beyond expectations I just can't say enough good things about this place. First of all, they agreed to host our wedding on Christmas Day. That alone should put the experience over the top. We had a very intimate ceremony but still felt like we had a full service wedding. The grounds are beautiful. From the huge amount of photos taken to the personal and lovely service Rick officiated, we could not have had a more perfect wedding. They took what could have been non descript and made it extraordinary. Best day of our lives and best Christmas gift ever!
