Beautiful Inside and Out
Beautiful Venue!
Beautiful Venue, Amazing Experience
The venue's packages are clearly explained and transparent about what is included (as someone who had 3 receptions and is very used to looking at packages at this point, definitely more clear than most!) and still Whitney was available to answer questions and discuss our options for a variety of things during the entire process. All of our guests had a wonderful time and the space was absolutely perfect for our "European countryside" décor. There are a number of outdoor spaces we were able to utilize, and the indoor space is very pretty, well maintained and hardly needs any dressing up to make it feel event-ready!
I'm sure I could go on forever about how great this venue is, but will cut myself off - I could not recommend hosting your event here more!
Perfect Wedding Venue
The PERFECT Bozeman venue
We were a couple on a budget, and The Chateau provided very affordable weekday rates. We chose to host a Brunch wedding on a Monday, and I can't tell you how many of our guests (and of course ourselves) thought it was such a fun and unique idea. The venue is stunning, and has all of the amenities that you would hope for-- from bride and groom suites for getting ready, separate catering room for vendors, chair & table set up and break down included, the list goes on. Whitney worked with us every step of the way and was so kind and accommodating. Anytime we had a question a very prompt and thorough reply would follow.
We could not have gotten any luckier with early October weather. The leaves were changing, the sun was out and the temperature was right around 70 degrees. BUT- given Montana weather can be unpredictable, we loved the safety net of being able to host all festivities inside and still exchange vows in a beautiful setting.
I could not recommend Whitney & The Chateau enough!
Perfect, Wonderful, Amazing
