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!

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,

When I got engaged, I knew that I wanted to be married at Chateau Cocomar! My fiance, family and I were blown away by the beauty of the venue after our first tour and we knew there was nowhere else we would rather have our wedding and reception!! The venue is absolutely stunning and the staff is amazing! We worked with Jenika and she was just AWESOME!! Jenika is incredibly organized, detail orientated, patient and caring. She made sure every detail was covered while maintaining a calm, collected and sweet disposition. This was very important to me because I have encountered wedding planners (in the past) that have caused my chaos that calm in my opinion.

Our guests were simply floored by the beauty of Chateau Cocomar!! It has been three weeks since our wedding and people can't stop talking about how much fun they had and how beautiful the venue was.

The quality of service, responsiveness and professionalism are worth every dollar! We had the wedding of our dreams at Chateau Cocomar and will treasure those memories for a lifetime!!

XOXO,

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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!
