Many soon-to-be married couples have found the secret destination wedding location in Michigan weddings located in Charlevoix, Michigan where there is a beautiful old castle that lends itself to unique and exclusive weddings for those who want something a little different for the most important day of their lives.

When people hear the words ‘destination weddings’, they typically think of a tropical getaway in which the couple marries at sunset on the beach or high above the seashore on a cliff with a beautiful view; however things are changing in these recessionary times and more and more couples are deciding to stay closer to home yet they are not giving up on a destination that will make their wedding day a spectacular success and something to remember.

A castle wedding in Charlevoix, Michigan boasts the Michigan Garden railway with different types of flower and topiary gardens among the courtyard surrounding the castle which lends itself to countless exclusive photo opportunities.  There is also a beautiful indoor chapel that can accommodate small to very large wedding parties in addition to other places within the castle a bride and groom might choose as a special place to exchange their wedding vows.

Castle weddings are becoming more popular as a destination wedding not only because it is in the United States and easier to travel to, but many people are not affiliated with any type of church or perhaps they have lived together for many years and have finally decided to tie the knot and would rather have a unique, yet simple ceremony that includes all their friends and family but not the traditional church.

If the couple to be wed does not live in Michigan, they should send the invitations at least two to three months in advance of the wedding date in order to give everyone an opportunity to make arrangements for travel and hotel accommodations.  Additionally, a couple should not get their hopes up that everyone will be able to attend a destination wedding far from their home because many people cannot take off work or have the financial means to cover travel expenses with the economy the way it is.
