everything there is to know when planning your wedding at white swan castle
it’s no secret
Northern California holds some of the most enchanting wedding venues you ever did see. One of them being a castle! When talking to my couples a lot of them are in between White Swan and Grand Island Mansion. Both venues are beautiful picks and I can see the anticipation when choosing one or the other. As a hopeless romantic this venue gives the vibes!
from getting ready to the last dance
White Swan Castle in Granite Bay has exactly what you need: an enchanting getting ready area to a unique open dance floor in front of the grand stair case.
All day the team and I were in AWE. Every corner had something special. It is so hard to miss amazing photo ops. The whole time Eri and Benji heard ‘omg this is so cute im going to throw upppp!!’ I’ve heard me being myself lessens the nerves of a wedding day, haha.

If you’re obsessed with all things whimsical - this venue is for you and I am your gal.
For a blank slate at the venue you can expect the price to be $10,000.00-20,000.00. This price is depending on when you get married and how many hours is desired. Here’s what you can look forward to:
weddings all year round - date isn’t an issue

the ceremony
When I say Eri and Benji thought of it all, I mean it. From the live music to the seating arrangements and so much more. Where else would you have your dream ceremony besides in front of this gorgeous castle? Eri and Benji’s family were extremely in tune with the couple and adored every minute of what the wedding had to offer.
hospitality
We adore this venue! Where would our guests stay?
I am glad you asked there are many options -
Although the hotels are gorgeous and convenient, I always recommend an Airbnb. Especially if you’re squeezing in some extra family members!
