    I really can't say enough good things about The Chateau. They really went above and beyond to make our wedding go as smoothly as possible. The venue is beautiful, and the staff is even better!

    Excellent. Fantastic. Above and Beyond.

    Larissa is amazing. She helped with my wedding dress and made sure that me and my souse were good throughout the night.

    Grimes Wedding

    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!!!

    Thank You for an awesome experience

    Kenzie and Jenna were fantastic to work with. They think of everything and had answers to all of our questions throughout the planning process. Everything went so smoothly on our wedding day and our guests had nothing but great things to say about The Chateau.

    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!

    Best venue!!

    From our first appointment to our wedding day, the staff at The Chateau was absolutely amazing to work with. When I would email them, they would get back to me almost immediately. They really are fantastic at what they do. My wedding stress was minimal due to the knowledgeable planners (Jenna & Kenzie). They went above and beyond all of our special requests. The team they have is outstanding. I am still hearing about how our wedding was the best wedding people have been to in a long time.

    Prestige Wedding Venue

    This Chateau made our day the most special and memorable day possible. Top notch food and was very impressed with their professionalism and quality of service they provide. I have since been to other weddings there and enjoyed the same great experience. I would highly recommend The Chateau and trust that you will be well taking care of and in great hands.

    Amazing experience

    When I started I was a little overwhelmed but Kenzie and Jenna really helped take the pressure off. They had a simple process they followed and had recommendations ready of good vendors they'd worked with before..I asked a lot of questions and they always answered with no complaints. They are just really nice ladies who run a beautiful venue. I really couldn't have asked for better. Thanks ladies.

    The Chateau

    The girls at The Chateau were SO great to work with! The space is beautiful inside and out, the food was delicious, and Jenna and Kenzie were there every step of the way. They were quick to respond to all our questions, and truly helped make our wedding day perfect!

    Absolutely wonderful!

    The girls at the Chateau (Kenzie and Jenna) are so wonderful. They made me feel like I was planning my big day with my best friend's. They answered every question I had and gave me so much advice and input along the way. They were honest in every opinion they had and I couldn't have appreciated that more. My parent's absolutely adored the both of them as well, which spoke volumes to me. The Chateau is the perfect place for your big day as it is beautiful. The girls and staff at the Chateau know what they're doing. They made my day so memorable. I would recommend the Chateau over and over again.

    Great value!!!

    The Chateau is the most gorgeous reception venue I have seen, and it is in rural Polk County--close to everything, but parking is easy and you have relative privacy. Everything is included in the rental fee--tables and chairs, linens, china, set up, and clean up. Jenna and Kenzie do a wonderful job of working through checklists with brides/grooms/families to make sure nothing is forgotten. They stay on top of all of the details and work very hard to make your day perfect. They will flawlessly orchestrate your event and make sure that you get to enjoy it. We were thrilled with our reception, and we got numerous complements on the venue and the food!

    The Chateau was a beautiful and flawless experience.

    Kenzie and Jenna made the planning easy and fun. They truly did anything and everything I asked of and more. Their puntucality was something I noticed while communicating with them, as I asked many questions-especially days before the wedding. They always got back to me right away. These two gals wanted what’s BEST for my wedding day! I haven’t even mentioned how absolutely beautiful the Chateau is...but pictures show you that! I wouldn’t have wanted my wedding anywhere else.

    Beautiful Venue!

    The Chateau is a beautiful venue that needs very little additional decor. We had our wedding and reception here and it was absolutely perfect! Kenzie and Jenna make sure that everything is taken care of leading up to the wedding and are there to assist the day of. Not only is the venue and people great but the food is also delicious. They have many options in multiple different price ranges. I would definitely recommend The Chateau to anyone!

    The Chateau was amazing to work with. My wedding day was nothing less of perfect and so were the moments leading up to the day.

    I highly recommend using Chateau as your wedding vendor. Aside from their professionalism and price and beautiful space, they are truly great people to work with all the way up to the big day! They do more than just providing you with a location. The help you plan along the entire way. They have a crew to help you with setting up and cleaning up, serving. They provide tables and chairs, linen etc. literally everything you need beside the little extra details to make it your own. With everything they have to offer, it truly helps take all the stress off while planning and having the big day! Worth every penny.

    Sept 2016 wedding

    We loved working with Kenzie and Jenna. We basically had a wedding planner without paying for it. I had multiple meetings with the girls to help plan everything. They even dealt with a vendor that broke a contract with us. They were so accommodating!

    Jenna is more than amazing at what she does! Her and her crew do everything possible to make things go the best way!She is professional, helpful, great personality and overall a fantastic wedding director! She does a great job of keeping everything on task and moving well! The venue is just fantastic on its own but the people running it is what puts it above and over the top! Loved every second of planning and the wedding day at the chateau! Also, Kenzie is just as fantastic, if one or the other is busy they help each other out and answer all your question in such a timely matter! This place made my husband and I wedding day the perfect day!!! Don't ever hesitate in booking this place, it really truly is the perfect place to start!.

    We got married last June at the Chateau and could not have been happier. Jenna and staff were on point throughout the entire process and made sure that our day was the best. The food was great, bar was stocked (Cellar wine is amazing), and everything looked perfect. We showed up the following day and only had to pickup our decorations, no cleanup. I would recommend the Chateau to anyone looking for an amazing venue with great staff. You will not have to worry about anything during the process.

    The Chateau was completely amazing! My wife and I were married in September of 2015, and could not have been happier with the Chateau! Jenna was amazing in helping us organizing the details and provided unsurpassed customer service! The best part for me was two-fold. They provided everything from beautiful chairs and tablecloths/napkins (with many different color options), to beautiful place settings, delicious food, and all the small details, like cake cutting service, to even lighting our candles for us!

    The second thing I liked most about the Chateau was Jenna! She was basically our wedding coordinator and helped us in so many ways! Thanks to the Chateau for making our wedding day as amazing as it was!

    We were so thrilled to have our wedding at The Chateau! A beautiful venue in rural Iowa with an extraordinary coordinator! Jenna was a pleasure to be around and really knew what she was talking about! The staff did an amazing job, and the food was great. We've heard nothing but great things from our guests! We're so thankful to have had a beautiful wedding at a beautiful place!

    Beautiful Venue, Wonderful Staff

    We are so glad our wedding day was spent at the Chateau! Larissa, Olivia, and their team were so great to work with and were organized from start to finish. They met with us three different times, answering all our questions and walking through everything and anything we wanted. The Chateau is a beautiful, large venue inside and out. Even on March 22nd, we had plenty of places inside and out to take beautiful pictures as well as have an outdoor ceremony. We loved being able to select linens, napkins, and napkin folds, which really helped personalize our wedding. It’s easy to get to from Des Moines, and is paved all the way to their driveway. We had over 40 kids present and we loved that they had space to run around without having to worry about traffic or stranger danger. The day of, Larissa and her team were present and involved in the entire day. It went so smoothly and everyone said how kind and helpful they all were. One of my favorite parts was when Larissa got on the dance floor to teach everyone how to do the Cotton-Eyed Joe line dance. The Chateau is in great hands with Larissa at the wheel!

    Wonderful venue!

    My husband and I got married at The Chateau this past summer 2018. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. The setting for our outdoor wedding ceremony was beautiful near the grapevine fields and in front of a quaint white gazebo. The reception dinner and dance moved indoors where the Chateau staff did a wonderful job decorating before hand and then making sure everything ran smoothly during the celebration. We have received many compliments from our family and friends regarding the location and staff at the venue. From the meetings leading up to our special day and then to the logistics on the actual day, Jenna and Kenzie were there every step making sure our wedding vision became a reality. All the staff at The Chateau were professional and met expectations on our wedding day making sure we had an enjoyable time. I'm so glad we chose The Chateau as our wedding location!

    I HIGHLY recommend The Chateau!

    I couldn't have asked for a better experience than what I got with the ladies at The Chateau! The venue is gorgeous and everything is included in the rental fee (setup/tear down, tables, chairs, linens, venue coordinator) so all you have to do is add your special touches. They were there every step of the way in the planning process to answer questions and offer suggestions based on their experience and expertise. I went into the day with zero stress about the reception because I knew I was in great hands!

    Super organized and clean/beautiful- average price!

    My husband and I got married at the Chateau on a rainy Friday in October of 2017. Kenzie and Jenna are the perfect duo to get the job done- Kenzie is super sweet and organized while Jenna is a "get crap done" kind of person. They compliment each other so well and gave us a lot of confidence that everything would be just how we wanted it on our wedding day. Since we knew it would be rainy that day, they told us they would do their best to make the ceremony work outside, but ended up having to move it inside. They called me that morning to run this by me and gave me plenty of notice on what they would be doing. They made it work without a hitch. They did a really great job of responding to any questions I had, as well as checking in on us throughout the day (my husband was so nervous Jenna ended up tying his bowtie for him!!). The venue is beautiful and clean. The only complaint I have is that they changed the contract last minute so that we wouldn't be allowed back up to the loft area, which seemed like kind of a rip off since we were paying the same price and not even able to use part of the venue as we were expecting to. They were flexible with us and let my husband and I back up there for a few minutes to eat dinner together immediately after the ceremony. The bar prices were on the average to maybe a little high end. We brought in outside catering, which ended up being a better deal than using the in-house catering. I would highly recommend the chateau!
