When translated from French, Chateau Nouvelle means ‘The New Castle.’ This stunning estate, formerly known as Chateau Cocomar, captured the attention of the owners of Sandlewood Manor as a possibility to take the exceptional service and options available at Sandlewood and branch into a new setting. Thus was born, Chateau Nouvelle! Our dream is to take the beautiful space that was already here and reimagine it with all the amazing possibilities!

Discover Chateau Nouvelle and make your dream wedding a reality!

Fantastic Wedding!

I had my wedding in April here and it was the most magical night of my life. Although my wedding was one of their first large events, everything went so smoothly and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for me and the 180+ guests. There wasn't a single hiccup in the day. The communication/planning with the venue coordinators was incredibly easy and seamless. The venue itself is absolutely stunning with endless photo opportunities. I cannot recommend this venue enough! My guests were commenting on how wonderful the evening was and the gorgeous venue for weeks after the wedding. You will be in great hands between all the staff and the wonderful owners of the venue who will ensure you have a perfect event.

Amazing Photoshoot Experience for our Marketing Campaign!

I recently had a fantastic photo shoot at Chateau Nouvelle and I cannot RAVE about this establishment ENOUGH. The new owners have completely turned this place around and for the better.

Since the new ownership was established this past fall, the owners have painted the entire building, revamped the landscaping and have added some AMAZING new fixtures and upgrades to this venue (to say the least)!!!

If I was getting married and did not run away to the beach, I would absolutely choose Chateau Nouvelle. I actually hosted my daughter's 5th birthday party here and this venue holds a special place in my heart. I would be doing a disservice by not sharing a positive, honest, heartfelt review.

The new team is also AMAZING and the owners are hitting the ground running with this place. It's so exciting to see God blessing Chateau Nouvelle with such wonderful people, positive vibes and great energy.

I believe that any client that books this venue will have nothing short of a SPECTACULAR wedding day.

Thank you so much Chateau Nouvelle for your amazing hospitality during our marketing campaign photoshoot, ya'll are truly wonderful, keep up the great work!

Yours Truly,

I had my wedding reception at Chateau Cocomar and it was everything I ever dreamed of thanks to my coordinator, Jenika! It was a Pakistani wedding so I had a lot of special requests due to the culture, but Jenika was very catering towards each request and very helpful. Chateau Cocomar is a perfect wedding venue for any bride looking to have a fairytale wedding with no stress! Jenika did everything throughout the planning process to make sure it was stress-free for me. On the day of, I had Jenika and Joanne as my coordinators- they worked great together! My wedding reception went so smoothly that all of my bridesmaids and guests were commenting on how great the event was and that without Jenika and Joanne, they wouldn't have been able to fully enjoy it! All of my vendors also commented on how sweet and kind Jenika was to work with. Jenika truly takes care of her brides with great sincerity. Chateau Cocomar's team treats each bride with great respect and care and they make sure that you are happy every step of the way. The beauty of the venue speaks for itself, but the coordinators are what make the venue worthwhile :)

We had just provided DJ/MC & lighting services for a wedding there on July 28, 2017 and it DID live up to the hype that people had told me about it. When people tell you this place is GORGEOUS, they are not lying one bit. From the artwork details to the marble floors, it is AMAZING! When we added in our uplighting, I was honestly a little worried that it might take away from the beauty of the venue, but it did not one bit. It just further helped the beauty out, in my opinion. The coordinator, Jenika Gonzales and her team, were on point all night long to ensure the wedding went off without a hitch. It was so great working with all of the vendors that we did that night. If you are still searching for the venue that will separate you from all of your friends with all of the rustic venues in the Houston area, just choose Chateau Cocomar and you will NOT regret it one bit! We look forward to more weddings here in the future!
