I got married in 2001. I did ask about the cost of getting married in front of castle. I was told it was a minimum of $50,000 and I forget, but there is a guest number minimum ( I want to say 100 or more). Wedding planner also told me castle weddings are not held when park is open. I'm thinking some really odd hours. We had some wedding pictures taken in the park (castle, carousel, etc) but it had to be done when the park wasn't open. We were there by 5 a.m. with our photographer to do it. That's why when you see wedding pictures in the park, in front of the castle, etc. that it's dark outside. It's not that it's 9 p.m. at night, it's because the sun hasn't come up yet.
