About this vendor
Vintage Mini Mansion & Event Barn Intimate Venue
Chateau Amelia is a beautiful wedding venue in Cross Hill, SC. The property offers a unique historical setting with a vintage mini-mansion for weddings and special events. The circa 1905 Victorian structure melds old charm with modern beauty on four acres of beautiful gardens in a magical forest setting.
Chateau Amelia's event barn is a modern glam showpiece with just the right amount of rustic. Behind the barn is a cocktail patio with cocktail tables, a forest backdrop ceremony site, and a ceremony arbor. At the same time, the interior boasts a wedding dressing room/flex suite, commercial kitchen, three restrooms, and an open area with vaulted ceilings and faux beams draped elegantly, ideal for seated dining, mingling, or dancing the night away. The cocktail patio allows you to soak in the beauty of the forest backdrop under the romantic cafe lights.

My guests and I had an amazing experience at Chateau Amelia! Our family event was extra special due to the luxe vibe of this venue. The customer service from beginning to end was absolute top tier. I can see why this would be at the top of anyone's shortlist for gorgeous wedding venue.
Our experience at Chateau Amelia was amazing! We had planned a destination wedding in a state park near Columbia SC since I had dreamed of a wedding in the forest, About a week before my wedding date a turn in the weather meant I had to scramble around last minute since the state park was likely to be closed due to the wash out. Chateau Amelia literally saved my wedding, Angela was so accommodating showing us around and getting us on their calendar last minute and we got to book a 3 night stay for our family, This place is so gorgeous especially with all the lights at night! And the best part? I got my forest background.wedding afterall.
