Wow, just wow!

We came here on a family reunion of sorts in the off-peak season and we were so impressed we had to hug the owners. Not only did we have an amazing stay in the absolutely well-appointed historic house for our large group, we also enjoyed a high tea party-themed luncheon for an even larger group of friends and family. I could not believe the attention to detail that went into planning every square inch of this venue. The sparkly glam finishes are so unexpected in a barn, but boy do they really work! I can see how this space is just perfect for weddings, even though we used it for a different type of event.

Beautiful venue

SO WE WERE ABLE TO GET THIS VENUE AND IT WAS PERFECT FOR OUR DAY, THE KITCHEN WE MASSIVE, AND THEY SET UP THE RECEPTION AREA FOR US, BUT I DID MY DECORATIONS AND IT WAS OVERALL BEAUTIFUL. THEY STAYED IN TOUCH AND WORKED WITH US ON GETTING THINGS IN ORDER AND COMPLETING TASKS THAT MAY HAVE BEEN TOO MUCH FOR US. THE SCENERY ITSELF WAS CALMING AND RELAXING SO THAT WE WERE STILL UP UNTIL 2 AM ENJOYING THE CRISP ATMOSPHERE AND THE STARS VIEW WAS AMAZING FROM THE BACK PATIO. IF YOU READING THIS REVIEW, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE BOOK THIS VENUE YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. ANGELA IS A WONDERFUL PERSON AND SHE WAS AMAZING AND SO WAS JOHN, HE MADE SURE ANY ISSUES THAT HAD OCCURRED WAS TAKEN CARE OF AND HE MADE SURE WE HAD EVERYTHING WE NEEDED BEFORE OUR BIG DAY. HE CHECKED THE AUDIO, SOUND CHECKED THE MICS, AND MADE SURE BEFORE HE LEFT US DURING THE RECEPTION WE WERE GOOD AND HAD ALL WE NEEDED. SUCH WONDERFUL HOSTESS AND OWNERS.

This Venue is High End without the Price Tag

If you are searching for a venue that feels special and a little bit like a boutique, this is it! The service level from the staff is next level and the beauty, cleanliness and just everything about Chateau Amelia is just stunning! Most venues have only one building, but here you have something for everyone with the Victorian mini mansion, the event barn (which is modern and sparkly), the gardens in front with fountain plus the magic of the forest! No matter who it is, someone is going to fall in love with something. We fell in love with everything! Cannot recommend enough and would give more stars if we could, it's that amazing!!!

Amazing micro wedding!

My fiance (now husband) and I had planned a destination wedding to a state park near Columbia SC but when the weather forecast said heavy rains were expected we had to rethink our whole event and fast! That's when Angela and team at Chateau Amelia came to the rescue and literally saved my wedding. We were able to book a 3 night overnight stay in the most beautiful Victorian vacation rental and then we used the forested ceremony site behind the barn and it was so charming. Everyone kept commenting on how beautiful the place was! It was just perfect and I would highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
