WEDDING CEREMONY

Campion Davis Wedding

Jen Campion and Gavin Davis

01/09/01

Photographer: Unknown

Every year numerous ceremonies are performed and countless photos have been taken within the heart of The Mudcastle and its surrounding gardens and lawns.

 

Depending on the time of year and the style of the wedding, a variety of ceremony settings and guest viewing sites can be selected. With several fantastic ceremony sites both indoors and out, (and all with power available), memorable weddings at The Mudcastle do not depend on the weather on the big day. Here is a selection of some of our wedding ceremony or wedding photography sites and there's a link at the bottom of the page to even more photo ideas:
