About
Cavender Castle is a pioneer in North Georgia Weddings. We specialize in all-inclusive elopements, cheap elopements, and affordable DIY facility rentals. As are proud to be one of the small wedding venues in Georgia. And we are an upscale alternative to wedding chapels in North Georgia.
Currently, North Georgia is one of the most popular locations for weddings in the USA.
However, way back when we started in 2003, there were just a handful of weddings held in the area. Since there has been tremendous growth with wineries and barn weddings throughout the mountains of North Georgia.
Plus, our local Dahlonega Chamber of Commerce has made growing the wedding business a major priority in our community.
As a result, the wedding business has boomed! So, today, you will find many great choices for both large and small wedding venues in Georgia. For us, It has been a privilege being part of this growth. We take pride in having had a positive impact on our local economy. We’ve had a blast being a pioneer in North Georgia Weddings!

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 in town for dinner. 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!

The best wedding venue in North Georgia! Affordable packages for 25 to 100 guests
We recently created a wedding video for this venue and it is absolutely beautiful. We definitely look forward to more weddings here in the future!
Great location for couples looking for intimate ceremonies and receptions for up to 75 people. Every couple works directly with the Durhams who own the business. The owners are very hands on and responsive!
