Service area
Holds ceremonies and receptions
Nothing short of fantastic experience! Guests loved? Yes! Family loved? Yes! Vendors loved? Yes! Even our dog loved this gorgeous venue. The thing that you should really know is how professional and organized everyone is that supported us on our wedding day. I would give more than 5 stars if I could.
This is a simply stunning boutique-style wedding venue. If I could give more stars I would! The owners and staff were so professional and friendly. If you are looking for a romantic, elegant venue without the luxury price tag, Chateau Amelia checks all the boxes and then some!
