Weddings at Castle Gwynn, Triune, Tennessee
Is it possible to get married at Castle Gwynn in Triune, TN? --contributed by N.R.Captured in all its fairy tale beauty in Taylor Swift's video "Love Story," romantics have been fascinated ever since by this medieval-inspired masterpiece in Arrington-Triune, Tennessee. A private residence, weddings cannot be performed at the castle or on the immediate grounds.
However, wedding ceremonies can be conducted throughout the month of May on the grounds
across the street from the site as the area is transformed into Covington Glen for the annual Tennessee Renaissance Festival. A member of the festival's staff reports that the following three areas are available for weddings:
1-Winter's Fairy GardenThe winter's fairy garden is a flat treed area surrounded by stone walls that can accommodate 25-30 people.
2-Winter's Fairy Garden GazeboThe decorated gazebo is a perfect area for the clergy and the wedding party while the 10-15 guests surround the gazebo.
3-Our New Special Events AreaOur New Special Events Area is an ideal location for a larger number of guests. It is situated in our tree-covered forest and more private for you and your guests and close enough to enjoy the festivities of the festival.
A number of factors determine the final cost of a wedding held on festival grounds, including the size of the wedding party, number of guests and the amount of time allotted for the nuptials.

Groom's Attire for a Vegas Wedding?
We are getting married in Las Vegas in August. My girlfriend saw a guy in a wedding magazine wearing white pants, a white shirt and a black sport coat, with a tie of course. The wedding will be fairly casual being in Vegas, plus it will be in August. Does this sound acceptable? -- MB, MontanaDear MB,
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Las Vegas is a very casual city and you'll find all types of dress are appropriate, depending on the formality of your individual ceremony. We've seen very traditional wedding attire at some of the hotel ceremonies and very casual wedding dress at wedding chapels as well as hotel chapels.
If you are planning an outdoor wedding, realize that August will be VERY hot so the sports coat might be difficult unless it is a morning ceremony. If it's an indoor wedding, you'll be right in style and white pants, white shirt, and black sports coat sounds just right. Best wishes!

Lofty Wedding Sites in Austin
I am trying to find a place to get married---your web site has been very valuable. we were thinking of going to Mexico, because we wanted an elevation change where we could have the ceremony up high, overlooking the water. But, we live in Texas and family would have trouble getting there. Do you have any connections/ideas as to upscale places in Austin/Travis Lake/Texas Hill country that meet that criteria? Your help would be so much appreciated. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! One place that comes to mind is
Lakeway Resort and Spa; it's up over Lake Travis and have some great views plus excellent dining options for an upscale reception. Some of the boat companies also do charters for weddings and receptions right on the water; the Flagship Texas leaves from Lakeway Resort and Austin Party Cruises (
www.austinpartycruises.com) has charters on Lake Austin.
A good source of Austin wedding info is Austin Weddingpages (
www.austinweddingday.com); it's a print magazine available in most larger bookstores and they also have info online.
