The Chateau was a beautiful place to have our wedding reception. The staff was all very friendly and super helpful. Larissa communicated with us from the very beginning, throughout the entire process, and made our day run smoothly. Seriously, we had no complaints. They tailored meals towards people with food allergies, helped decorate with last minute requests, and helped make our day perfect!

Best Wedding Venue Ever

We had the best experience with The Chateau! The staff is super professional, made everything super easy, and are great at communicating. I had never been in a wedding, let alone planned one, and they were a huge help. They had recommended vendors, step by step instructions, and the food is AMAZING! The space was perfect. Having the foyer as the dance space, while the main space was still quiet, made the party super fun. People could dance all they wanted in the foyer, and everyone else could still chat in the main space. Cannot recommend The Chateau enough!!!

Beautiful location!

Having our wedding reception at The Chateau was the best decision we made when planning our wedding! Everything from the beautiful scenery, and wrap around deck to the amazing staff was just wonderful! Kenzie and Jenna truly care about all their clients and make an effort to get to know you. They set up several meetings in the months leading up to your wedding to make sure every little detail is exactly how you want it. I didn’t know a lot about planning a wedding and was a pretty laid back bride and these ladies made it so easy and stress free thinking of many things I never would have considered! They even let us bring in our fooseball table and make a fire outside for s’mores! It is also so convenient how much is included with the rental price! You will not go wrong using this venue for one of the most important days of your life :)

Wonderful Experience

The Chateau went above and beyond everything we expected for our wedding reception venue. Not only did they help keep us on track and provide vendor recommendations throughout the planning process, but also made our wedding day and reception go so smoothly. From set up and tear down to greeting vendors and everything in between, Jenna and Kenzie were there to help in any way possible. We absolutely would recommend The Chateau to any couples looking for a beautiful venue and excellent service!
