Your fairy tale wedding is within reach
At some point in your wedding planning process, you have probably entertained the idea of having a destination Castle wedding – after all, who doesn’t get excited at the prospect of going somewhere gorgeous and unique to exchange vows?
Here are 10 fantastic reasons why you should take your big day out in the countryside – at Tafaria Castle
SAY “I DO” SOMEWHERE DIFFERENT!
For a day or two, Tafaria Castle will belong to you and your guests – so you can plan and enjoy your special day with total privacy and freedom (just like home) and with all the countryside tranquility – away from hassle…
NOT YOUR USUAL SPOT
Stand out. Lots of us marry every year but how many of us really do a Castle wedding? Look at it this way: Wed here, and you won’t have to choose from the same old hometown spots all your friends have booked… own the Tafaria Castle for a day and be different – it is enchanting.
IT'S EASIER
Organizing a wedding can be a nightmare. Tafaria Castle makes it easier for you – a destination that is naturally beautiful, that will give you full catering and accommodation. We further support you by giving you free use of the chariot (either the royalty choice Landau or the Cinderella type) with our two adorable horses & the Lord’s Room. It’s easier than you thought…
SAVE ON DECOR
With Tafaria Castle and our stunning setting (the Castle in the countryside next to the Aberdare ranges, facing Mt Kenya and Laikipia plains), you’ll be more than covered with a few simple florals and other modest accents either at our Dream Garden or open air roman- type amphitheater – the backdrops are right and no hassle with furniture… But the moment to behold is rolling down the Castle’s Spill with your bridal party to the waiting guests at the reception on our Dream Garden sandaled between two backdrops: the Castle and the Scenic Aberdare Landscape – you cant replicate this anywhere else!
ENJOY QUALITY TIME WITH LOVED ONES
If you wish you can make your wedding at Tafaria Castle a couple of nights – it means, now that you will have gotten your nearest & dearest together, you can actually spend quality time with them! Hooray!
A PHOTO-SHOOT FOR THE CHOSEN FEW
Come to Tafaria for your big “I Do” and other than a fairy tale Castle wedding complete with a horse drawn chariot – you have a rare and a unique opportunity for an amazing photo shoot at the Aberdare park next door. How many can brag of a wedding photo session next to the Satima peak?
GIVE YOUR GUESTS A PERFECT REASON TO GET AWAY
Rarely do we slow down and get away unless of course it’s the usual public holidays when most destinations are expensive and crowded. Take advantage of low rates at the Castle: downtime – to kick back, connect and celebrate without thinking of rushing back home with friend and family. And what’s more fun than that? Keep it simple and have lots of fun affordably…
PEACE OF MIND
To work your budget right! You’ll be at Tafaria Castle for a few days which gives you time to work with your vendors to see how you can trim costs without losing the fun. Wed any day of the week: wed on a Friday, a Sunday or even a Tuesday – what does the day of the week matter in the countryside… plan peacefully and focus your budgets on what you will enjoy the most…
START YOUR HONEYMOON EARLY
Just arriving at Tafaria Castle is sure to put you in a relaxed mood as the pre-wedding festivities begin. We shall offer automatic upgrades and on your wedding night, free use of the Lord’s Room or the Chamber to kickoff your honeymoon & further extend a discount to a minimoon at a reduced rate after the guests have gone home! Imagine that…
Possible Set-up Option
Take your vows on our dream garden with the Castle as the backdrop.
Arrive at the venue on a Cinderella type chariot. If hot, marquee/tent will be setup on both sides of the aisle. After the wedding, depart the venue on a royalty choice Landau type chariot as the venue transforms to your dream reception. As guests entertain, transfer to the Aberdare park for a photo session. On return, make a grand entry into the reception via the Castle’s Grand Spill: as your bridal party rolls down, emerge from the balcony (Royalty style) to acknowledge your guests before walking down the Spill.
Leisure activities for your guests around the Castle and cocktail by the poolside before the evening party in the Castle’s Ballroom. Hold evening party & screening ‘memories are made of this’ in the dungeon/Ballroom. Disco runs through the night with bonfire.
As Lord and Lady of The Castle, retire at leisure to The Lord’s Room.
Commence a happy hereafter
