Perfection + Professionalism
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!
A Magical, Fairytale, Absolutely Perfect Place to Get Married
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!
