Chateau Elan Winery & Resort

My husband and I were supposed to be married on May 2, 2020, but then the coronavirus started spreading. We decided to postpone to July 4, 2020. Ruth and Sherry were fantastic to work with in the date change and making sure everything ran smoothly. The day of the wedding they blocked off the ceremony to make sure the other hotel guests not apart of the wedding weren’t passing through. It was such a big help! The venue was so awesome and the renovations are stunning it was so complicated to pick place for pictures. For the coronavirus they had arrows directing people which way to go into and out of the lobby. The doors that had pull open option had hand sanitizer at the bottom. They had a self- temperature taking machine at the entrance and they required all employees to have masks on.

I am an out of town bride and fell in love with Chateau Elan during a visit a year before our wedding. I knew I HAD to get married there after seeing a wedding take place on the Matisse Lawn (where I got married). The venue is not only beautiful (the woods, vineyard, rose garden, etc.) but the staff is ABSOLUTELY amazing. Shakila Marshall, Associate Director of Catering, was in charge of our wedding and she was FANTASTIC! Not only is she efficient, detailed, and willing to go the extra mile to make her bride and groom have the wedding of their dreams, but she is kind and helped me throughout the wedding process. She walked me to the aisle! Something I will always cherish. The food was amazing! Steak and lobster all the way! Definitely add a late night snack! So yummy and your guests will love! Also, the entire staff is fantastic. They help so much with the room blocks (thanks Angelic Herndon and Kevin at the front desk) and also I held my Rehearsal Welcome Reception at Sarazen's Bar and Grille (thanks Shannon Holizna and Chef Ron!!). I loved our welcome reception so much! We had amazing food and had our favorite pictures and music going at the Grille. It was so memorable! Our guests from FL, CA, and LA cannot wait to go back to Chateau Elan! Look forward to seeing the whole staff again soon! Thanks always from the bottom of our hearts!

This was the first place I went and it was amazing. The atrium was where the ceremony was held and the elan ballroom was where the reception took place. The decor was just what I wanted the food tasted great and I felt it was just what I wanted.
