Amazing Wedding at Chateau

My husband and I celebrated our wedding at Chateau La Mer, and I definitely reccomend them. In the days leading up to the event, the staff was responsive, professional, and incredibly helpful. On the day of our wedding, our maître d’, Nina, handled everything flawlessly, and my bridal attendant, Daphne, was by my side all night, making the entire experience effortless for me.

The venue itself was stunning and brought our vision to life. We chose to do the special boat entrance, which felt both intimate and unforgettable—it made for beautiful photos and a moment we’ll always cherish. Our guests had an incredible time, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

Great planning process

Chateau La Mer made the planning of our wedding seamless with the numerous packages that they offer. Taylor was patient with is and explained everything in detail. They were able to help us pick our photographer and catering based on the packages that were offered. We had our own DJ, so they were also able to issue us a credit towards our final price as well. The grounds and the grand ballroom are classic and modern.

Beautiful Venue for a Wedding Reception

We toured Chateau La Mer back in 12/2022. My fiance and I at that time fell in love with the venue and the gorgeous scenery and environment that it provided. We knew right away that this is where we wanted to host our wedding reception. We toured with Taylor, who made the touring process so simple and easy. And when it came down to the packages that they offered, we were amazed at the affordability! Great prices, great food, great views, great venue overall. They worked with us to make our vision happen and we had no hiccups in the process. Super smooth planning for my now wife and I. We had our reception there on Sunday, 7/30/23. The weather was perfect and the boat arrival and looking at our guests as we arrived was truly spectacular. Nina was our Maitre D' for the event. She was super friendly and easy to work with. She managed our guests and our itinerary very well the day of. And Dinorah our bridal attendant was a huge help to my wife and bridal party. She went out of her way to provide comfortable slippers to wear throughout the event, helped with EVERYTHING my wife needed, most importantly, holding her dress when walking. The whole team at Chateau was truly amazing. The venue was clean, my guests raved about the food, especially the Memphis BBQ station (highly recommend). Thank you Chateau for a beautiful and stressless event. It was a pleasure working with Chateau La Mer for our wedding reception event and we are very glad we chose Chateau as our venue. Our guests truly enjoyed the view and atmosphere at the venue. Thank you guys again.

Top Notch Service throughout

My fiancé and I are planning a wedding for July 2024. We had a few options in mind but our hearts wanted Chateau La Mer. Throughout the entire process of just selecting our venue, Taylor was super awesome! She gave us the most detailed tour of the venue, answered all of our questions, and even took the time to form a connection with us, sharing our jokes and experiences. Taylor was not only helpful during the initial meeting, but beyond. We must’ve called Chateau about 5 times within a month with additional questions for Taylor. The receptionist was diligent and made sure Taylor received those messages. Taylor contacted me within a short period of time each time, sometimes within that same day if she was in the office. She worked our ideas and budget and our new budget too! Super patient because I cannot tell you how many times we changed our mind or wanted something else. Taylor even gave me her honest opinion about having my ceremony on site which was very much appreciated. There aren’t many venues where you can say their sales rep isn’t just trying to make a deal and that they actually care…well Taylor isn’t just trying to make the sale and she is truly there to help make your day the way you have envisioned it with the best pricing options. She’s honestly the best and the venue is awesome! Beautiful scenery, spacious rooms, all inclusive options, and an aesthetically pleasing lobby. Can’t wait to continue this process with Taylor! This is going to be an exciting ride!

Wedding Reception

Just had my wedding Reception here a couple days go. I have to say the place is beautiful. My favorite of course is the outdoor waterfront area. The pier, boardwalk and gazebo all make it very nice. Not only that but the view of Chateau La Mer during sunset was sight to see.
For our entrance we choose the boat option, which lets the bride and groom arrive to the pier on a boat. We choose the perfect timing (sunset) to be on the boat and it was a very relaxing ride. Photographer and bridal attendant also joins you so you get your perfect sunset shots.
We worked with the manager Sam who I thought was very helpful throughout the planning, I was always able to reach him even on non working days. Any issues or concerns I was able to discuss with him right away. During the event he was up and about making sure all he guests are in the right places, the food is being served and everything is going according to itinerary. Food was delicious and served on a timely matter.

The vendors they worked with were great such as dj Salim, Eventscapture, White star limo. Although Francesco's bakery could use an improvement in their service and management.
Overall I thought everything went smoothly and I would definitely recommend.

Amazing Wedding - Great Service!

The personnel at Chateau La Mer were helpful and responsive from day one. Our point of contact was Bill and he was there to answer any questions we had and ensured that everything ran smoothly. He went over every detail with us ahead of time so there were no surprises the day of. On the wedding day, the entire staff made sure that everything ran on time and according to schedule. The bridal attendant and bridal assistant were there with us the entire time, making sure that we had everything we needed. Golda was extremely helpful, from holding up my dress and helping me walk down the stairs to handing me drinks on the dance floor! The staff made sure that I saw the reception room setup when I arrived to ensure that the decorations were set up correctly. Every detail was perfect. The food was very good. The only thing I would say is for the sit-down meal, to make sure you tell the waiters specifically if anyone has food allergies, even if you write it ahead of time. The bartender was fast and accommodating. We had special bride and groom drinks that we came up with and he sought me out to make sure that he got it just right and adjusted it to be perfect. We had a Saturday morning to afternoon wedding and the pricing was very reasonable. The place itself is absolutely gorgeous and makes for beautiful wedding photos. Overall, I highly recommend this venue! Weddings can be very stressful to plan and having a good venue that is responsive, accommodating, and detail-oriented (and timely!) is just one less thing to worry about!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
