Le Chateau

We had our wedding at Le Chateau in South Salem, NY, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The venue itself is breathtaking from the elegant architecture to the sweeping views, it truly feels like a fairytale setting. The food, the service, and the attention to detail were all beyond our expectations.

A very special thank you to Claudia, my bridal attendant, who went above and beyond to make our day seamless and stress-free. She was attentive, kind, and always one step ahead to ensure everything ran smoothly. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful and well-organized everything was.

If you’re looking for a venue that combines beauty, professionalism, and exceptional service, Le Chateau is truly unmatched. We could not have chosen a better place to celebrate our wedding!

I have photographed more than 200 weddings, and this place was one of the best I’ve seen

My daughter just had her wedding at Le Chateau. To say it was a beautiful, impeccable
wedding is an understatement. We’ve received rave reviews from our guests saying everything from it was the most elegant wedding to praising the food and service. The venue and staff was way beyond our
expectations. Having worked in the wedding business most of my life I’ve been to hundreds of weddings. My father was a wedding photographer and I was a wedding planner at a venue. In all that time I cannot remember
having such a perfect experience. Sarah, Claudia, Debbie, Tori and there staff were the
loveliest people I’ve ever worked with. The
food was like going to a 5 star restaurant.
When we visited the venue I thought it was very pretty but lit up at night it was exquisite.
Dreams do come true.

Our wedding at Le Chateau in March 2025 was amazing! From the beginning, the staff at Le Chateau were clear, approachable, and responsive. They were very transparent and fair with the wedding package. I appreciate that the team didn’t try to pressure us for any upcharges, and there were no hidden fees. They include catering and day-of coordination, which made everything much simpler to plan. The setting and grounds are gorgeous. We did an indoors wedding since we were off-season which I would recommend since we didn’t have to stress about the weather! The food was delicious, with lots of options, and received rave reviews from our guests. The team were organized throughout the process, and very responsive on phone and email. They were all lovely to work with. The wedding attendant helped make everything stress-free and was so kind. Le Chateau coordinated with all our vendors, and their recommended vendor list helped make the process easier. The team worked behind the scenes to make our wedding day seamless. The bridal suite is also spacious with great light for photos. The only note is that their location is a bit further from hotels and public transportation, so we arranged a shuttle bus to a Norwalk hotel, but it was still very doable for NYC area and visiting guests. I cannot recommend Le Chateau enough!

From the moment we toured the venue, Sara stood out as the epitome of professionalism. She was informative, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease. Throughout the planning process, Tori was an absolute gem, helping us navigate everything from the menu and seating charts to answering our endless questions with patience and care.

On the day of our wedding, Debbie, our maître’d, flawlessly orchestrated every detail. She allowed us to drop off items early and ensured everything was set up perfectly. And then there’s Claudia—our bridal attendant and quite possibly the MVP of the day. She was by my side from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., anticipating every need, keeping us on schedule, and even setting aside food for us to enjoy whenever we had a moment. Her level of care and attention was truly remarkable.

The entire staff, from the ushers and servers to the bartenders and bussers, was warm, welcoming, and attentive to every guest. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, providing the perfect backdrop for our celebration.

I don’t have a single negative—or even average—thing to say about Le Chateau. From start to finish, every aspect of our experience exceeded expectations. The level of professionalism from start to finish is what every nervous bride hopes for while planning a wedding.

Le Chateau made our wedding day not just special but truly unforgettable. If you’re considering this venue, book it now—you will not regret it!

In every sense of the word, Le Chateau is perfect. Starting from the top, the location is stunning. The house is beautiful and unique, the ballroom is breathtaking, and the landscape is gorgeous. The food and drinks? Incredibly good. Not just good "wedding food," but genuinely delicious food and drinks that people still cannot stop raving about. My husband has been dreaming of the burnt ends from the Southern Comfort cocktail station - we've been trying and failing to find a restaurant that can match them. The massive dance floor also meant that everyone was dancing the entire night long. But in true form Le Chateau had the best of both worlds; they also have some comfy couches outside of the ballroom that were great for our older family members who appreciated a quiet moment.
All that excellence aside, the real reason to choose Le Chateau is the team. Tori, Debbie, Sarah literally made all our dreams come true. People talk about wedding stress, but I had none because they were on top of everything. They made the entire wedding planning process seamless, exciting, and utterly wonderful. I was able to truly enjoy every aspect of our wedding day without a single care because I knew the Le Chateau team had everything in hand. The service flowed flawlessly, as did the drinks. Claudia, my bridal attendant, needs a whole separate review to talk about how amazing she is. She is a ray of pure sunshine who was by my side the entire day helping with everything and anything I needed. I even didn't know I needed a bridal attendant, but my day would not have been the same without her.
Dozens of our guests have been calling, texting, even writing letters to tell us that it was the best wedding they had ever attended.

In short, all the staff at Le Chateau truly love and are experts at weddings and it absolutely shows. Thank you for everything!

le chateau is a gorgeous venue with an incredible staff who knows hospitality. after touring eight venues, we booked le chateau. it was cozy and welcoming, from the fireplaces in the cocktail hour space to the immaculate chandeliers in the expansive ballroom. i didn't work with a planner, which wasn't a problem here at all. from the start, sarah, tori, and debbie were fantastic to work with. they answered emails promptly and went above and beyond to accommodate our vision. our guests were thrilled with the level of attentiveness from the staff the night of the wedding, and the food! the food was amazing. they have plenty of to-go options at the end of the night to choose from (we went with a new york pretzel station!).

This is the most beautiful venue and we couldn't be happier that we stumbled across it. The whole property is absolutely stunning, inside and out. Leading up to the wedding and on the actual day, the staff was extremely helpful, organized, and on top of it! They did a fabulous job.

We recently hosted our daughter’s wedding at Le Chateau and it was nothing short of perfection. The food was outstanding and the service unparalleled.

Le Chateau is more than just a wedding venue; it's a sanctuary where dreams take flight and memories are etched into the fabric of time. From the moment you set foot on its enchanting grounds, you're enveloped in a world of timeless elegance and impeccable service.

The exterior, reminiscent of a European castle, sets the stage for the grandeur that awaits within. As you step through its doors, you're greeted not just by a venue, but by a family of dedicated staff who are committed to making your special day nothing short of extraordinary.

From the moment we stepped through the doors for our tour, to the thoughtful emails we received after our wedding day, the staff at Le Chateau treated us amazingly.

Every interaction is infused with warmth, care, and genuine enthusiasm. Never once did we feel pressured or overwhelmed; instead, we were met with thoughtful guidance

Their guidance helped our day run smoothly, and their friendly and open responses to our many questions eased our planning anxiety. It’s clear that every staff member at Le Chateau genuinely cares about your day and enjoys their work, making the entire experience so much more special.

Our guests cannot stop raving about the food and the exceptional service they received on our wedding day. Despite the incredibly rainy and cold weather, Le Chateau felt like a warm hug and an old friend. This was especially meaningful as my parents were married there in the 80s, adding a personal touch to our celebration.

Le Chateau’s beauty and functionality exceeded our expectations. We wanted a venue where we didn't need to worry about the weather, and Le Chateau delivered. Our pictures and videos are gorgeous, capturing the perfect blend of a cozy European castle and a grand Italian ballroom.

We cannot recommend Le Chateau enough. It is a beautiful venue with a dedicated and caring staff, ensuring your wedding day is everything you dreamed of and more. We wish we could relive our day over and over again, and we are forever grateful to Le Chateau for making it unforgettable.
