I'm so lost

Amber, on October 19, 2019 at 6:36 AM Posted in Planning 0 6

So, our dream wedding next year is to be a Halloween Eve Masquerade in Winston Salem, NC. I found a beautiful and surprisingly affordable venue in Jamestown, Castle McCulloch. Sadly, Halloween Eve is booked. All they have is 11am Halloween morning and the 16th. Neither of which would work for a masquerade ball in my opinion. Not to mention, if we booked the 16th, all they'd have is the Grand Hall. It's a literal hallway. It's nice, however, they would have to send us all outside in the cold for 30-45 minutes to reset the furniture for the Banquet, which then seats 30 people less and there would be NO room for dancing. Hubby wants to just book it for the ceremony and drive somewhere else for the banquet, but that feels like a lot of hassle for us and the guests. Granted we'll only have less than 100. I love the castle, but I have my heart set on the 30th and in Winston Salem. I'm so torn about it. Does anyone live around or near Winston and have any suggestions?

    Hi Amber!

    Congrats on your engagement! I totally understand how it feels when you have a vision and you get held back. I'm sure no matter what venue you choose, it will be perfect! I don't live in NC but if the castle feel is what you're going for, I would probably suggest The Graylyn Estate if you haven't already. I'm not sure of their capacity but it would be worth a try. Maybe also look into Bella Collina Mansion? I hope you find what you're looking for! Good luck and happy planning Smiley catface

    The Graylyn Estate and the Bella Collina Mansion are both beautiful! I live in Winston and we are going with Kress Terrace in Greensboro they are very affordable. We are also using their catering company Visions Catering as well.

    I have Graylyn saved already Smiley smile Just have to wait until Monday when the planner gets there for availability and price. We don't have a lot to spend. I will definitely look those up!

    Winston Salem twins! Did you book the Castle? My mom LOVED that venue, but FH is a country boy and died for a barn.
