i took my GF to the gem mining they have, and one of the ladies took us through a tour of the whole place. i wanna say it used to be a gold mine or something. the guy who bought it always wanted a castle, or loved them so he turned it into the castle

White Castle?

2/7/2008 9:25:30 AM

I suggest you go in advance and scout the place out for locations

consider what time you'll be there and what your lighting requirements will be

i went to a wedding there last november in the 'crystal garden'.

the drive there was nothing to get excited about, as it looks like typical rural greensboro, but once we got there, it was actually pretty amazing. the parking area had bluish-white xmas lights on a ton of trees, making it kind of a grand entrance area.

the garden itself was a very peaceful place. the only downfall was that they turned off the heat because they were afraid the candles would get blown out. you could see your breath inside the ceremony area!

2/8/2008 11:00:09 AM

It's so fun. High tension and responsibility, but if you can handle it and enjoy it, it is one of the best jobs in the world.

2/8/2008 9:59:04 PM

no i mean overcharging for everything would be a blast

2/8/2008 10:02:11 PM

Well, there's reasons why I don't charge much, and believe it or not it's mostly to protect myself until I'm ready to charge those prices. lol. Sounds stupid now that I spell it out but in practice it's hard for me to judge.

strike a nerve? you're out of your mind. either that or you flip burgers. people with skills get paid for thier skills. or you can pay 100 bucks for a wedding photographer and get what you pay for.

anyway that castle thing did some christmas lights thing a few months ago, its right down the street, in like jamestown
