The Durhams at Cavender Castle were wonderful beyond belief! Everything...and I mean EVERYTHING was taken care of for our daughter's wedding, and we could not be more pleased. They are wonderful people as well, and are so very professional in what they do! They made it such a memorable and beautiful event for everyone, especially our daughter and our now son-in-love. I did not even mention the area for the wedding ceremony- it was STUNNING! A perfect wedding!

The Cavender Castle is one of the best places to have any event. I had my son's rehearsal dinner there and it turned out to be an even better event than I expected. Everyone was pleased. The food was delicious and the decor was absolutely beautiful. Special thanks to Rick, Cyndi and the staff.

I am writing this review from the perspective of the Mother-of-the-Bride—which in December of 2012 I was (at Cavender Castle in Dahlonega, GA). My daughter chose the venue and it began as an “Elopement” Ceremony Package that morphed into the “Perfect” Ceremony/Reception Package—and then some. Besides the Bride and Groom, we had about 32 guests. I initially communicated with Cyndi and Rick Durham, but that was all that was necessary. My daughter knew what she wanted and Cyndi and Rick worked out the details with her and her fiancé in a thoughtful and super helpful manner.
The wedding and reception were both exceptionally executed through Cyndi and Rick’s guidance. All I had to do was show up and enjoy the moment—and that’s exactly what I did. The atmosphere was very festive and fun— very down to earth. I felt stress free and relaxed because Cyndi and Rick had everything under control. One expects weddings to be a little stuffy and semi-boring—but that was not the Cavender Castle experience at all. It was truly fun-filled and positive from beginning to end
One final but important element of my Cavender Castle experience—that impressed me very much—was how all the information that I received during my initial contacts with Cyndi and Rick was actually followed up on and fully completed by them. What they presented to me during our first communications—that they could and would provide for the wedding (at the fees quoted) was 110% completed. They were honest and upfront from the start.
I greatly appreciate all the hard work that Cyndi and Rick and the Cavender Castle staff did to ensure a picture perfect wedding day for my daughter. It was truly a “Royal” Wedding—without the royal pain!
Sincerely,
Deborah (Mother-of-the-Bride)

We are Florida grandparents who were looking for the perfect No. Georgia
Venue for our granddaughter's wedding. She lives in Dahlonega and wanted something with a touch of elegance, but still a lot of fun. We were getting very discouraged with our search when we found Rick and Cyndi Durham and the Castle. They were so easy to work with, and knowing we were planning long distance they made sure they were available to us whenever we were in Georgia. The food was delicious, the decorations beautiful, and the photography stunning. Thank You to Rick and Cyndi for enabling us to provide our granddaughter with her dream wedding.

I submitted a previous review regarding our wedding @ Cavender Castle on June 17th, but there were categories would not allow a rating of 5 stars, which is what we wanted to rate. Everything about having our wedding there was beyond all expectations and many of our guests have commented how nice everything was and how well Rick, Cyndi, Delaney, and all the staff accommodated everyone. We want to be sure they get the rating they so well deserved. We are so glad we chose to have our wedding ceremony and reception here and were very pleased with how everything turned out. Rick, Cyndi, and Delaney are such wonderful people.

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.

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.

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!

Without a doubt Cavender Castle was the perfect choice for our wedding. We looked at numerous venues, but within five minutes of talking to Rick and Cyndi we knew that we found the perfect one.

They made us feel so welcome and at home. They were very forward with pricing and what was included. They also went out of their way to make sure that we picked the perfect package for our day.

Cyndi was also our photographer. Her photos were FANTASTIC! There were so many people taking pictures at our wedding. Like a great photographer, she did not appear in a single one! She was such a joy during our photo session.

The venue it self is stunning. It has an old world feel and on the most beautiful grounds we saw while looking for a venue. The venue was over two hours from us and most of our guests but we all agreed it was worth the drive!

Our guests all raved about Cyndi's hospitality and Rick's service! Many people thought they knew us personally. I even had a few tell me "They wish they had Rick at their wedding".

We could not have asked for a better day! Thank you Rick and Cyndi!

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.
