Where can I have a Harry Potter Wedding?
CHOOSING A HARRY POTTER WEDDING VENUE

So, first thing is first, you gotta choose a venue! Pick a wedding venue that gives the vibes of a Harry Potter experience. Think great halls, castles, mansions, Hargird’s Hut perhaps, or even the Forbidden Forest.
Think outside the box when it comes to venues too. This could be a private school, a college campus or even a greenhouse or botanical garden that recreates the scenes from Herbology class. These places are less likely to host weddings offen which plays into your favor. They could be cheaper and available for more dates!
CAN YOU GET MARRIED IN THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER?
Yes! If you are interested in this you can contact the park here
If that is out of the budget, think about having an engagement photo session here! What better way to announce your wedding theme than with photos of you and your babe dressed in your house robes and wands at the ready? You could visit the Three Broomsticks and Ollivander’s, take photos in Diagon Alley, enjoy some pumpkin juice or butter beer. The photo opportunities are endless.

HARRY POTTER WEDDING VENUES IN ARKANSAS
The Castle Tree House in Eureka Springs, Arkansas would be an excellent choice for the backdrop to an elopement style exchanging of vows. Better yet, stay the night!
When you arrive you will be intrigued with the exterior designed to look like a 1600 century castle. Upon entering you will be transported to a romance filled fairytale with a hidden passage that takes you to a very Romantic Jacuzzi Tower.

Castle Rogue’s Manor
Website for Castle Rogue's Manor
Smith Treuer designed and built the castle in a span of over 20 years. His love for world travel, art, fantasy and the renaissance inspired his creation. The manor sits on 20 acres of Ozark Forest upon the limestone cliffs that tower above the White River in Eureka Springs. The views are fantasy inspiring for a unique wedding event that everyone will be talking about for years to come.
It reminds me of the Weasley’s house with its many rooms, decorations, and magical vibes. It has a dining area complete with candelabras and large chairs fit for a feast like in the great hall.
