What is the pricing like for a castle wedding venue?

The average couple spends about $10,500 on their wedding venue, but there are certainly spaces that are above and below that number. Some of these venues feature all-inclusive catering and other amenities, which may mean more affordability. And as you've probably guessed, the more guests you host, the more you'll pay. While many castle venues can host larger weddings, there are several on this list that offer more intimate spaces.
