Directions
Include directions to your ceremony at Avalon Castle, and include maps of the local area for guests who are not familiar with the area. Ensure that older guests are given specific instructions and have a family member ensure that they have arrived safely before the ceremony gets underway. It only takes a moment to have a quick glance around prior to the ceremony.Limousines are also a bit of fun but be sure to ask the company if they are familiar with our roads.
