About

       The first step towards a dream wedding starts with a ride up a sweeping tree-lined driveway leading to Le Chateau.  Housed in a stone and brick Tudor mansions built in 1907 by financier J.P. Morgan.  Le Chateau sits majestically on 32 acres, high on a hill with breathtaking views of the Hudson River Valley.
        Old world elegance is still alive at this country estate.  Traditional French fare will impress your guests as well as their palates.  Romance fills the air in the chestnut and cherry paneled rooms.  The moods of the several lovely dining rooms all with sunset views, range from cozy and intimate to commanding.
         Lavish entry way bouquets in elegant vases, soft lighting and polished attentive service are only some of the ingredients that contribute to the perfect wedding experience.  Add to this the lovely stone terrace and gardens for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, outdoor ceremonies and picture taking and you have a magnificent setting for your "dream" wedding.  Other amenities are a bridal preparation room plus recomendations of florist, music, or photographer, by our house event planners.  Le Chateau is also ideal for hosting rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, anniversary parties as well as Bar/Bat- Mitzvahs, corporate events and other special occasions.

It is always a pleasure to play at this beautiful location. The harp feels right at home in the elegant surroundings, the staff is wonderful, the food is delicious, everything is top shelf.
As a photographer who works at many different venues, certain places stand out for their beauty and great photo backdrops, others for their great service and customer friendly feeling as well as their ability to make the bride and groom feel really special on their wedding day, and others for their simply incredible food. Le Chateau truly fits the bill in all of these areas. A gorgeous old mansion, inside and out, beautiful gardens for a ceremony, cocktail hour and family portraits as well as the most fabulous food served by the most professional and friendly staff of people. Always a pleasure for me to be included in a Le Chateau wedding and one of those locations that I always love recommending.
If you want a fairly tale wedding this is the place. I am from in Ridgefiled, Ct and had many special occasions there .. the view, food and place is outstanding!!!
