Reviewed On 9/28/2021 by Breanna L
I seriously don’t even know where to start. I saw the barn at Chaumette and immediately fell in love. After a tour of a few venue - it was without a doubt the venue for us. Not only because it is absolutely gorgeous, but the staff cares so much...
about the details and they do it with a smile. I was one of the “lucky” brides who had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. Even THAT was a breeze with them. The best part was getting to plan everything with Abigail, their Director of Events who was assigned as my day of coordinator. Abigail was BEYOND helpful, timely, and just a genuinely kind human who made working with the venue (for 2+ years once it was all said and done) a total breeze. No question went unanswered and handled everything we had planned with grace. This venue makes sure it is your day. Not just our coordinator, but the waiters, and especially the staff at the villas. Just a few examples: Abigail truly helped bring our boho chic barn wedding to life with her knowledge of the venue and even got their early to let some family members hang neon signs. The waiters and waitresses came up to me during photos just to bring me and my husband Ordervs (which we SO needed lol) The villas helped us in every way possible at every turn to help us manage so many people coming in from out of town. Calling with updates, cleaning villas early, and even mailing me items left behind. This is just a small list of things I could go on and on about. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. Any photo, while gorgeous, does not do justice to the ambiance the barn and the lawn have. Walking into the fully decorated venue and dancing on the patio will be some of my favorite most beautiful memories. The food - ohhhh my gosh - the FOOD. Everyone could not (and still can’t!!) stop talking about it. I have literally had dreams of it since our wedding day. Yes - it’s that good. Here’s a plot twist - I’m a vegetarian, and they cater to ANY diet with no issues and everyone raved about it no matter what the meal. The villas are beyond gorgeous. When my family first arrived to their villas I got photos and videos of everyone saying how blown away they were by how cozy, beautiful, clean and overall cool they were. Having my family and bridal party on site made for an epic wedding weekend with people making use of the beautiful area the venue has to offer. Some went on walks in the early morning, some hit the pool after rehearsal dinner, and many patio hopped after the wedding celebrating and having a blast. We did a bonfire at the end of our wedding which was the cherry on top of an amazing night. Some people came dressed as is, others went back to villas and changed, but either way the staff there was friendly and accommodating. We ran into a minor shuttle issue and as I tried to solve it the fire tenders said to me “you are the bride - this is your night. We will handle this (when I was happy to do it myself - the selflessly put us first). The fire was close to the barn and just an absolute blast on the perfect mid September night. Long story short? I CANNOT rave about this venue and it’s staff enough. I will be back to visit for many years to come. If you are looking for the perfect wedding - Chaumette Vineyards and Winery is your venue. We are still on cloud nine. Thank you so much Chaumette!!!!

assistance with day-of coordinating was top-notch. Our Day-of-Coordinator Collins was so professional and so key in ensuring that the vision I had for our dream day came true. Our wedding party and several more of our guests stayed in the villas on-site giving the weekend a true destination wedding feel in southeast Missouri wine country. Collins and the rest of the staff were so flexible and worked with us without question when our wedding had to be delayed due to COVID. The staff followed strict precautions throughout the event and it eventually went off without another hitch. I cannot commend everyone at Chaumette enough for the amazing wedding weekend we were able to have. I would highly recommend for anyone interested in an indoor or outdoor, traditional or rustic winery wedding!

ything was pretty much provided, we just had to show up! We stayed at the on-site Villas, as did our wedding guests. We even hosted our rehearsal dinner at one of the large villas, and it was a perfect, low-key night we will remember forever! It was great because people were able to spend a lot of time getting to know each other over the weekend when they otherwise would not have had that opportunity at just the wedding. Collins was our dedicated Wedding Coordinator, and she made our wedding planning process manageable and as stress-free as it could be. She was great to work with and was always able to answer any questions. (I had tons of them!) The day of our wedding, Collins kept things moving like clockwork, regardless of what was thrown at her. It rained the day of our wedding but Collins quickly and efficiently turned our outdoor wedding into an indoor wedding but still with the incredible view. The day after our wedding (a Sunday), she answered questions from me and my mother no later than 8 am about how best to retrieve items from the barn. I highly recommend Chaumette for your wedding, and I am so glad we had our wedding here. Thank you, Chaumette, Collins, Nicole, and everyone who we worked with, for giving us a wedding night we will always remember!

ing to go above and beyond to give you your dream wedding?! Look no further than Chaumette. From the moment my mom and I stepped on the property we knew there was something special about Chaumette. The setting is absolutely breathtaking and the location in Ste Genevieve allowed me the opportunity to have the winery wedding of my dreams at a price much more affordable than I was seeing closer to the city...especially for a winery. I can't say enough good things about Beth Caldwell, Director of Events, who I was lucky enough to get as my own personal Chaumette wedding coordinator. From day one, Beth exceeded my expectations in every way! I remember a friend of mine was also getting married at the time and was having issues dealing with her venue and the various vendors she needed to hire. I remember thinking how lucky I was to have Chaumette as pretty much a full-service venue, not to mention, Beth and her staff who did all the heavy lifting and guided me along the way. This made the entire experience very enjoyable for me and the wedding planning didn't feel like a chore. Chaumette also has gorgeous on-property villas that accommodate 2 up to 10+ people. Our closest friends and family stayed in the villas and it was such a treat to be so close to family and friends over the few days we were all there. (Shout out to Kathryn and Lindy for making my villa dreams come true! ) I must also mention that the food is exceptional at Chaumette. You will of course enjoy the delicious food and wine when you visit for a little planning and you will offer your guests cuisine unlike they have ever had at a wedding! Really. Good. If you are looking for a beautiful, relaxing unique and special place for your wedding, it's Chaumette! We thank you all again for making our wedding so memorable. We will be back for sure for anniversaries or just "because". XO, Lauren + Brian

I cannot begin to describe how amazing Chaumette was to us and to our family. We fell in love with the winery in Summer of 2017, shortly after getting engaged. We knew upon visiting the grounds for the first time that we would marry there--we p...
ut down a deposit almost immediately and set our date for October 18, 2019. In the Spring of 2018, my now husband encountered some very serious health problems and was out of work, slashing our income in half. This put our beautiful winery wedding very far out of reach budget-wise, and we were devastated. It took me a couple days of reconciling how I/we felt before I decided to officially pull the plug with Chaumette. There were tears in my eyes as I emailed Beth, our amazing coordinator, and told her we could no longer hold our wedding there. I told her the winery was so special to us, and we were truly regretful for having to back out, but promised to give the winery our patronage for years to come. Beth emailed me back, expressed her condolences for my husband’s illness, and offered to transfer our deposit for the barn to pay the full cost of the chapel so we could still have the winery wedding of our dreams. Keep in mind people, this was a non-refundable deposit, I did not ask for it back nor would I. These circumstances were just as much out of my control as they were for Chaumette. They owed us nothing, and yet they moved mountains for us. She checked and sure enough, October 18, 2018 (our five year dating anniversary) was available and off we went. While planning the wedding, Beth was incredible prompt and helpful with every question or need we had. She did a fantastic job of organizing our silly peanut gallery family during the wedding rehearsal, and was there for every step on the big day—she even brought a coworker, Taylor with her on short notice so I could have the dramatic entrance I wanted. I cannot emphasize it enough—Beth was made for this. Even after the wedding, when some clothes got accidentally left behind, she was so nice and shipped the clothes back to me and charged it to the card we had on file and I didn’t even have to lift a finger. Incredible. We stayed in the villas the night before and it was perfect. It’s quiet and so peaceful. The vineyards were perfect for taking pictures in, the views are breath-taking, the food is WONDERFUL (we’ve eaten here multiple times in the past), and every single person who worked there (Tim, our favorite server in the restaurant, Rhonda in sales, Lindy the villa concierge, and of course Beth and Taylor) made us feel so special, wanted, and cared for in a way I have never experienced. I love this place from top to bottom and I could not recommend it enough. If you are looking for a truly special wedding experience, look no further than Chaumette. We will be loyal customers for the rest of our lives.

he was a huge help in the months leading up to the wedding. She gave us tons of recommendations, helped us get organized, and coordinated all of our different vendors. She was there from start to finish at our rehearsal dinner making sure that we felt confident about everything before the big day. The day of the wedding she completely ran the show in the best possible way. She set up all of our decorations exactly how we wanted them. We had 18 people in our wedding party and she made sure that everyone was always where they needed to be. One of my favorite memories of Beth was during family portraits. It was late in the day, and I was extremely hangry, and she fed me bites of a granola bar in between pictures. This is just one example of how she goes above and beyond to ensure that you have the most amazing day possible. All of the staff at Chaumette are fantastic and so helpful! Food: To be honest, we picked Chaumette as a venue based on how beautiful it is, and we didn’t really think about the food BUT the food was incredible! We got married almost 5 months ago and we still get compliments on it. People went nuts over the mashed potatoes! We had at least 4 guests include something about how good the food was in their posts on social media after the wedding. Venue: The pictures make Chaumette look so beautiful, but I highly recommend taking a trip there to experience what it is like in person. It doesn’t even feel like you’re in the Missouri when you’re there. We had many friends call it the “Napa of the Midwest.” On the property you can see rolling hills for miles. We got married outside the barn and have the most beautiful pictures looking out over the vineyard. Accommodations: One of the best things about having our wedding at Chaumette was having all of our close friends and family stay on the property with us. Chaumette has beautiful villas and a pool right on the property. Having everyone stay together allowed us to stretch out the celebration over the entire weekend. If you are looking for a stress-free wedding in a beautiful location – look no further!

n the lawn in front of the barn, and our reception took place inside the barn. The building is beautiful and includes chandelier and stranded lighting so we didn't have to worry about coming up with (or spending money on) very many decorations. The venue also has decorations that can be borrowed (at little or no cost). The barn also includes easily accessible bathrooms nearby and adjacent bride/groom suites for dressing and storing personals during the event. Our wedding day ended up being beautiful and sunny which was wonderful but hot. The arrangement of chairs and setup for the ceremony allowed for guests to stand or sit on the covered porch and maintain a great view of the ceremony if they were too hot in the sun. The venue also accommodates pets so our dog was able to join us for the wedding. The food was delicious and the family-style meal option was a perfect fit for our budget (cost less than plated and not a lot more than buffet), and our guests (many of which had small children and a few used walkers to get around which can make buffet lines somewhat difficult to navigate). No one had to leave the table to enjoy their meal. Chef also ensured that all guests with special diet needs were accommodated (and they all told us their meals were amazing). The events team are incredibly organized and supported us with the details while still respecting our wishes and requests. The events coordinator, Beth, is a rockstar! She communicated well with all of our vendors (and us!) so we did not have to try to organize and wrangle everything on the day-of. She helped keep the in-laws in line and was calm and pleasant the whole time. We were impressed with her ability and willingness to flex and adapt during the big day as things changed from the original plans. Everything ran smoothly and efficiently to the point we ended up having unanticipated down time where we could chill out before the ceremony. The accounting staff were also commendable, providing updates via e-mail for every step through the process from booking to final payment post-wedding. We (bride, groom, and immediate family from out of town) stayed in the villas on site. Chaumette blocks off a set of villas early then flexes as much as they are able to accommodate guests as plans change. The booking process was run efficiently and all family members were able to book and pay without any hassle or problems. The accommodations are beautiful and comfortable. Since the villas are nearby, family members that were unable to stay outside in the heat for extended periods of time had a convenient place to rest in air conditioning when needed. If you are interested in a winery wedding or other event, We highly recommend checking out Chaumette! While they are a little bit of a drive from St. Louis city, it was worth it! Our guests agreed as well and we received many compliments on the venue and service. Thanks so much Chaumette for making our wedding day so special and stress-free!

You will not regret choosing Chaumette! My husband and I recently got married at Chaumette's Barn, on September 24, 2016, and everything was perfect! When we were originally planning our wedding, it took us a bit to determine exactly what "f...
eel" we wanted. After viewing many venues, we decided that Chaumette was exactly what we were going for. It is a laid back atmosphere where we were able to envision our guests letting loose and truly celebrating our marriage with us. (After all, that's what it's all about, right?) This is exactly what we wanted and exactly what we got! Nothing about the wedding felt "stuffy" and our guests were able to kick back and enjoy the night with us. We also loved the solidarity of Chaumette. We've been to several weddings where it seemed that guests were looking to the next thing by dinner, asking, "Where are we going out after this?" When you're bringing all of your guests together for one day, it's nice to have their focus and know that you're going to get to see them before, during, and after the wedding. Hosting our wedding at Chaumette allowed everyone to step away from the chaos of real life and enjoy a weekend away, with us, to celebrate. On that note, I was originally worried about it being a bit secluded. How are our guests going to get there and back? What about travel for vendors? It all ended up coming together, perfectly, without much effort. Many of our guests stayed on-site in Chaumette's Villages. Other guests stayed in Farmington at a hotel that provided a shuttle. As for vendors, there were several who traveled to Chaumette for no charge or for a very small fee (which would have been required for travel to any location). This was not the headache that I anticipated and the solidarity noted above outweighed any planning needed due to Chaumette's location. One final reason to choose Chaumette: it's a one stop shop and everything they offer is amazing. When we were looking at venues, I could not fathom the additional work required when you rent a venue that is really just a "space." Looking back, I still cannot imagine this. There is already so much on your plate when you are planning a wedding. The thought of renting everything, down to knives and forks, is crazy. With Chaumette, everything is included. Additionally, they have on-site catering that is top-knotch, and your rental includes a planner. (Shoutout to Beth, who became my right-hand woman and was SO helpful.) Also, you can hold your ceremony on site as well, which we did on the Barn Lawn. This all made planning so much easier. To summarize, Chaumette is gorgeous. The wine is great. The food is amazing. The staff is amazing. We are so pleased with our decision to marry and celebrate at Chaumette!

As far as the food, I am still hearing about the mashed potatoes to this day, all of the food was amazing! No one left hungry that night. The villas are beautiful and again the staff at Chaumette made sure our villas were ready to go as each guest arrived, many before check in time.

ff at Chaumette could carry out the many details involved in planning a wedding. From our first visit with the Sales Director Keith to our final goodbye with our wedding coordinator Beth, we were blown away with the attention to detail, creativity, and top notch quality of service that we received. Chaumette Winery offered us the opportunity to have a destination wedding close to home. The Barn setting was the perfect backdrop for our rustic elegance theme. The night was simply magical. I cannot say enough about our meeting planner Beth. She was quick to respond to our emails, offer suggestions to help us stay within our budget, and executed the smallest detail on a hot August summer day. We had over 200 guests in the barn and the food was amazing. My daughter is Vegan and my son-in-law is Vegetarian. The chef worked with them to create a fantastic meal on their special day. Our wedding guests are still talking about the Macaroni and Cheese. The Villas were first rate and allowed our wedding party and relatives to stay on site. I wish they had more Villas as our wedding guests didn’t want to leave. Chaumette Winery was the perfect place to host our daughter’s wedding.

I just had my wedding at Chaumette this past weekend (10-24-15). Everything was amazing. From the moment we met with our Day of Event Coordinator, Sharon, over a year a ago we knew we were in good hands. They were EXTREMELY helpful in providing...
information you didn't even know you would need. They clearly have done this many times before and it definitely showed throughout our entire planning process and the day of our wedding. We ended up renting villas the night before our wedding so that we would already be on property that morning to get ready. Since check-in time in the villas isn't guaranteed until 4:00 PM we thought it was best to make sure we had our villas before then for a 5:00 PM ceremony time so this is why we got 2 villas for the night before (1 for bridesmaids to get ready in and 1 for groomsmen to get ready in). We would definitely recommend doing this. It made everything so easy the day of already being there. If you do not want to rent the villas you are also able to get ready in the Spa area if you are getting your hair & makeup done by them. If you are not getting hair & makeup done by them you can use the downstairs locker room area (however this is not private). I wanted to use my own vendor for hair and makeup so we went with the villas and were very pleased with them. Our wedding guests actually ended up renting out all of the villas to stay in that night. It was awesome to have so many of our friends and family staying on site. The villas were amazing. Very open and clean. They were very accommodating with letting us have a late check-in because we were driving in late Friday night from St. Louis after our rehearsal dinner. I would 100% recommend staying in the villas. We had our wedding ceremony on the lawn outside of the barn. It turned out beautiful! We were forecasted for 90% chance of rain, but thankfully we ended up being clear all day! The good news though, if you do end up having rain they have great plan B options for rain. There is a chapel on the property, however our wedding would have been to large for the chapel. They also have a loft in the barn that you can use. Our plan B would have been to have our ceremony on the patio where the dance floor is and then clear the chairs out. While waiting for the ceremony to begin we were able to hang out in a room they have right next to the bathrooms. It was heated and worked out perfectly so that guests weren't trying to find us before the ceremony. While we were waiting Sharon was very attentive and helped get the ceremony moving. For our reception we had it in The Barn. The barn is right next to the lawn that we had the ceremony at so it was very easy for guests to go straight from the ceremony into the barn for cocktail hour. Our wedding was a little bit larger than what the barn would normally hold but they gave us great options to accommodate our guests. We ended up putting tables on the porch and also on the patio and it worked out great. There are SO many amazing places for photos on their property.If you are planning on having a wedding here I would allow extra time for photos because there are so many cool areas for great shots! Of course, the vineyards are a great place for photos. The willow grove area also looks great. We ended up taking most of our pictures around the barn and in the loft. The food was amazing! So many compliments! Overall - AWESOME staff & venue!

Jeannine was very helpful and patient in explaining and organizing the villa reservations for my family and bridal party and helped each of us get booked. Kathryn and her team where such a blessing and took such good care of my bridesmaids and I for our prewedding spa day and all the getting ready activities before the wedding that evening. You could genuinely see on all of their faces how happy they where to get to experience the day with us and how beautiful everyone was. Then there was Sharon. You could not ask for a better wedding coordinator. From day one she was on it with every detail we had to go over, even covering things i didnt even think about. She was extreamly calm and professional when i was getting very emotional and a bit bridezilla on everyone. I had this picture in my head of what everything should look like and it was hard for me to let someone else take over the work so i could relax and get ready but sharon went above and beyond and truly cared to make sure it was perfect for me. We texted pics back and forth and she even brough a chair with the decorations up to me across the property so we could be on the same page. I got up there after our first look and the picture I had in my head was nothing compared to the beauty that was our wedding we had been planning and waiting so long for. I got complements all day friday and saturday on how good the food is, how helpful and friendly the staffing is, how georgous the venue alone is. I highly HIGHLY reccommend this venue to all brides looking to have a unforgrttable wedding. We had ours outside at the barn. They also have indoor facilities and we had our rehersal downstairs in their barrel room which is extreamly romantic.

From the start Jackie and our wedding coordinator, Sharon, were easy to work with and listened carefully to our requests. They were supportive of our decisions, and made time to help us along the way. We had our ceremony at St. Vincent's Chapel, which was exactly perfect for our needs. We followed the wedding with a reception in the ballroom. I spent hours obsessing over decorations- all of which the staff happily put up for me while I was in the Spa getting ready with my bridesmaids. The ballroom is beautiful without decor, but with my individual touches it was exactly what I envisioned. Chaumette was everything I hoped for in a venue. The food was absolutely amazing. I had more guests comment on the food than any other part of the wedding (and I can't even take offense.. because the food was that good.) The scenery is gorgeous, and offers a wide range of photo options. Best of all, the property is full service, offering several options for ceremony, reception, and picture locations, as well as a beautiful Spa and Villa's for the wedding night. I can't imagine that my wedding could have been more beautiful than it was, or that it could have gone more perfectly than it did, and I have the staff at Chaumette to thank for making the experience so wonderful. If you want to have a winery wedding, Chaumette is a high class option with great tasting wine, and fantastic customer service.

he owner, Jackie, took us on a private tour of the grounds and spent well over 2 hours with us telling us the story behind the winery she owned with her husband and answering every question we had about having our wedding there. The icing on the cake was when we stayed for dinner to sample the delicious food by Chef Adam. When I booked with Chaumette, I was assigned a wedding coordinator, Bri, who was there to help me with questions and keep me organized through the planning process. She was a total life saver especially since I lived over an hour away from Ste Genevieve and needed help with vendors. My husband and I were married at Chaumette on August 30 and we couldn't be happier with decision of venue. We took full advantage of every amenity they had to offer: - Barrel Room: We had our rehearsal dinner here. The room is decorated with wine barrels and tea lights and was the best cozy, intimate location for our group of 35. - Villas: It worked out so perfectly that there are sleeping accommodations on-site since the closest hotel is 25 minutes away in Farmington. They are a little pricey to stay at, but if you fill to capacity, the price per person isn't so bad (the largest villa is $495/night for 10 people). They have full kitchens and are beautifully decorated. I would recommend working with Sarah when booking the villas, because Jeanine is disorganized. - The Spa at Chaumette: I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Kathryn, who runs the Spa. When I walked in the spa for my day of wedding appointments, she gave me a hug and shared my excitement with me. I had hair, nail and make-up appointments for me, my bridesmaids and mom and she was extremely accommodating and caring throughout the entire process. Everyone was finished on time and looking beautiful! The Spa also has a pool with cabanas! - The Barn: Our ceremony was on the lawn outside of the Barn and it was everything I had always wanted in an outdoor ceremony. The Barn is tucked into a wooded corner on a hilltop, which makes it feel really private. The flowers and greenery planted around the Barn also makes it a gorgeous place for pictures (and helps save on florist costs!). Our ceremony was in August, so we were a little concerned about the heat and bugs. Luckily, there is a really nice breeze that passes through on the hilltop and the grounds are consistently sprayed for bugs so I didn't notice a thing! My only cons with the Barn would be the guest parking. Guests park in the grass and then walk up on gravel roads. It's a little dirty and dusty for guests and cars show up in the ceremony pictures. I think this is a renovation that will be completed soon. Our reception inside the Barn was perfectly executed. We had 154 guests and it didn't feel cramped at all, but I would not recommend going any higher in guest count. - Chef Adam Lambay: Seriously, incredible food! I was fortunate to have him cater our rehearsal dinner, our lunch at the Spa, our wedding dinner and our farewell breakfast. Every single meal was amazing. I had so many compliments from guests on the venue. A million thank yous to the Jackie, Hank and the staff at Chaumette. You made our dream wedding come true!

Even the weather wanted to be a little difficult that day to where we thought we might have to have the ceremony inside. The staff let us wait until the very last second that we had to to make the call and I was able to have it outside just as planned. It honestly is a beautiful venue with beautiful scenery. Guest after guest kept commenting on how gorgeous everything was. All I could say is I know because it was. The food was delicious. Our meal was served promptly after being seated and was hot and extremely good. Thankful for the helpful staff at Chaumette that made my experience and day so wonderful! Is it the cheapest venue there is no not necessarily but for all they do for you, provide for you, and coordinate for you it is so worth it. They set up the entire area for me so I didn't have to talk friends into helping out. They also packed everything away for me afterwards. All I had to do was pick up my boxes the next day. They have many items they provide free of charge such as wine barrels, lanterns, and table linens. Very impressed with Chaumette as was all of my guests. Can't wait to attend another event there someday.

My husband and I fell in love with Chaumette the moment we saw it about 2 years ago. We immediately knew where we wanted to get married! During our two years of planning, both Jackie and Sharon were very helpful and attentive to our needs, and ...
all of our questions were answered in a timely manner. Overall, our wedding experience at Chaumette was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for a better day. The venue is beautiful and the view from the Barn is breathtaking. Every wedding has some hiccups, our only complaints were the crunchy baked beans (they were extremely undercooked) which was unfortunate since we only offered two main entree side dishes to our guests, and an inadequate amount of set up time. Our wedding was very DIY, and we weren't allowed to start setting up until 10am. At 3:00, there were still boxes lying everywhere and guests were scheduled to show up at 3:45. In the end, everything worked out great and our guests are still raving about how beautiful and fun our wedding turned out! I would definitely recommend Chaumette to future Brides.

Another bonus was an incident that I had with the owner of the venue. My parents had rented a villa for myself and my bridesmaids the evening before the wedding but forgot to make breakfast arrangements. We were starving but no place was close enough for us to eat. The owner called someone and within minutes we were eating a gormet breakfast by the pool. Talk about customer service! Chaumette goes above and beyond in everything they do. Get married here! They have multiple locations on site to make any couple happy.

We were married in the Barn at Chaumette in October 2013. The Barn is the perfect rustic dream, creating an atmosphere like none other that I have experienced at a wedding. Our ceremony was on the lawn right outside the barn, with rolling hills...
and the winery as our backdrop. We used Dan Hoerle’s wonderful guitar skills as our background music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. It just made the experience that much better—thank you to Chaumette staff for the recommendation. The barn is set apart from the rest of the winery, providing privacy and amazing views. The natural beauty of the winery, and the barn venue create an ambiance that feels outside of the Midwest. The food at Chaumette is perfection, a quality you don't normally see at weddings that service hundreds of guests. Dinner at our rehearsal in the barrel room was delicious and intimate. Surrounded by wine barrels and candles, we dined on Chaumette chicken and homemade bread. Our pork at the wedding was such a unique pick, the menu was really a masterpiece. Chef Adam is a hidden gem, if you haven’t eaten at the grapevine grill yet, get there immediately. The night of our reception our guests kept complimenting the amazing food! This is purely preference, but we also had Rhythm of the Night as our band for the evening, and the live music really added to the rustic outdoor experience. My only complaint throughout the process was the turn over of the staff. I hope that this was a rare experience, and that they have finally settled in, because they have such a good thing going now. I was very nervous when our first wedding planner left, but Jackie Johnson swooped in, and really made our experience fantastic. The spa also had a lot of turnover, which was nerve racking, but when Katherine came into the picture, I immediately felt better. Katherine at the Spa is a dream. She fixed every worry, and was so pleasant to work with. Our hair and makeup experience was very relaxing, and enjoyable. They set aside a private room for all of us to get ready in, as we enjoyed snacks and mimosa’s. It started to rain before our first look, so we also used the spa porch for our first pictures together, still gorgeous, because at Chaumette you can’t find an unappealing view even if you tried. We did get our own wedding planner involved when the turnover began, which I would highly recommend if you can make it happen, just for your own peace of mind. It was convenient when I didn’t know what questions to ask, or how to make sure that certain details were executed. Chaumette worked very well with our planner, and together they really created the most beautiful and memorable day. Jackie Johnson is also VERY good at her job--you wouldn't expect her to take on as many roles as she does as the owner of the winery--making sure that all of your wishes come true. A wearer of many hats, she is a truly talented individual, very classy lady, and was a pleasure to work with. 

We love Chaumette, it is a winery that we frequent because of their beautiful views, amazing quality of food, and delicious wine. We are so thrilled that we were able to share our love of this beautiful winery with all of our wedding guests, and that we have such wonderful memories from our absolutely perfect day. If you are looking for a rustic winery wedding, you’ve found it, and your guests surely be impressed!

My husband and I were married in September 2013 at The Barn. The Barn was able to accommodate our 120 guests very comfortably for dinner and dancing. Our ceremony was on the lawn right outside the barn, however, we could have easily moved under...
the covered patio or to the loft of the barn if there had been inclement weather. The Barn was everything I had been looking for in a wedding venue. It's location on the property allows for privacy and amazing views of the rolling hills and vineyards. The bathrooms and the bridal suite at the barn are beautifully furnished. The bridal suite was a nice retreat for me and my bridesmaids prior to the ceremony and during the reception to freshen up and relax. The entire property is stunning. All of our close family and friends stayed in the Villas on both Friday and Saturday night. The Villas are a bit pricey, however, you truly get what you pay for. They are simply beautiful and not to mention very convenient in terms of being on site for all of the wedding events. The staff at The Spa were very accomodating. I was allowed to bring in my own hair and makeup artist and use the gorgeous ladies locker room to get ready in with my bridal party and family. The ladies locker room features multiple vanity mirrors and places to sit. My mother, mother-in-law, and 4 bridesmaids used the stylists at The Spa for their hair and everyone was finished right on time. We were also allowed to set up our own buffet for lunch right outside The Spa on the back covered porch. It worked out perfectly! The food at Chaumette is AMAZING!! We enjoyed delicious meals at our rehearsal dinner in the barrel room and at our reception in the barn. Chef Adam prepared special meals for our vegetarian friends at both events. The night of our reception our guests kept approaching us and complimenting the unique venue and the amazing food! Hats off to Chef Adam! Initially, when we booked the venue for our wedding we didn't think we would need to hire an outside wedding coordinator, however, I am glad we did. During the planning process there was a high turn over of wedding coordinating staff at Chaumette. I was very apprehensive about the constant change, however, there was a continuity that was carried over with each new staff member we worked with. I would highly recommend hiring your own wedding coordinator for the wedding day. My coordinator worked with the coordinating staff at Chaumette to execute a PERFECT wedding day!! We were able to relax and enjoy the entire day knowing our wedding professionals where handling all of the details. While the staff at Chaumette is very knowledgable, they are NOT wedding planners. If you don't want to be bothered with questions and decision making on the day of your wedding bring your own coordinator. My coordinator and DJ worked together to make sure all events were announced (i.e. caking cutting, first dances, etc.). I did not rely on Chaumette for any of those services so I cannot speak to their abilities in that capacity. The staff we worked with at Chaumette were professional and organized. Overall, our experience was as close to PERFECT as you can get! My husband and I still talk frequently about how PERFECT our wedding day was! We look forward to spending many anniversaries at Chaumette Vineyards and Winery! Happy Wedding Planning!

Good: This is a beautiful wedding site, our wedding was in the barn, and our rehearsal was in the barrel room Chef Adam is the best in the region (we did both rehearsal and wedding with his food) The Villas were wonderful to stay in- however...
really pricey The hotels in the area were willing to run shuttles, however the hotels in the area are about 30 minutes away Bad: They are not organized. They will promise things and not be able to fulfill them. We did everything, went over thins multiple times,but they had very little clue about almost everything at the time of the rehearsal and the wedding. For instance: we flew across the country to do a menu tasting ( my husband and I live on the east coast) and when we got there our menu was not what we'd intended- this is not Chef Adam's fault, he got the notes from our tasting and made an amazing menu around what he thought we wanted- unfortunately that wasn't what we'd asked for, but our guests said the food was great, it just wasn't something my husband and I eat. Your wedding will be picturesque here, however even though they offer a wedding coordinating service (for everyone) don't expect that you won't be doing everything and repeating yourself. It is full of really beautiful spaces though.

d offered to have someone cut our cake and announce all of the events occurring at our reception like our first dance and cake cutting. When we arrived at the reception, the owner came out and was extremely rude in telling us that she couldn't do any of that for us even though our wedding planner had promised us in writing she would. We had to explain to her that they better do what they had promised and she left in a huff without even telling us if she was going to fix this major problem. They also rented us the use of their golf cart to shuttle guests around. We paid for them to have it cleaned so our guests wouldn't get dirty. When we went to the barn in the morning, their 5 dogs cornered me in my wedding dress and almost got mud all over it. When we finally got the owners attention, she called the dogs away from me and had them jump in the golf cart and get mud all over the seats we supposedly had paid for them to clean. The wedding planner also came up to me halfway through the reception and told me that her 8 hours of work was up and she would be leaving and it was my job to make sure everything went smoothly from there. When I told her that I wasn't going to manage everyone since I was the bride, she just left which left me and my photographers who were nice enough to help us manage the rest of the evening. The spa at Chaumette is one of the biggest nightmares I have ever dealt with. They messed up my invoice three separate times and then wouldn't return my phone calls when I was trying to pay them! When I went in to get my hair done in the morning, they informed me that they would be understaffed and wouldn't have the stylists there to do my bridesmaids hair like they had promised and it would delay my schedule by about 2 hours. I asked them why they hadn't informed me earlier about their problem and they simply said that they didn't know I would need to know. They had promised 4 stylists and only had 2 the day of. They also completely ruined my hair and when I asked them to redo it, the stylist seemed angry that I didn't like it. Even though they redid it, it still didn't look like the picture I gave her but I was already incredibly late in my schedule and didn't have anymore time for her to try and fix it AGAIN so I ended up hating my hair the entire day and crying to my new husband the night of our wedding because I felt so self-conscious of how bad it looked. If I could do it again, I would not go with Chaumette. They messed up so many things on our wedding day and caused so many headaches for me, my husband, and our families. The owner is extremely awful and so incredibly hard to work with. We thought the wedding planner they assigned to us great until she decided to not do anything she promised and leave early, leaving us to manage our entire wedding by ourselves. I was extremely disappointed and would not recommend them as a wedding venue.. Update: Chaumette has called me to go over everything and rectify the situation by giving us a gift card or something but I explained to them I didn't want to come back because of the sour taste left in my mouth from the whole event. I will update my review again when they contact me again to potentially improve the situation.

mette. The day of coordinator at Chaumette just wasn't enough. - I booked my hair, make-up, and nails at Chaumette's Spa. THEY ARE AWESOME!!!

Best of luck to you!

My husband and I were married in September at the barn at Chaumette. While in our guests’ eyes the ceremony and reception went off without a hitch, our interactions with Chaumette’s staff during the planning and setup process was a nightmare. ...
I am very detail-oriented, so when we first contacted Chaumette nine months before our wedding date, I made sure to speak with one of the owners of Chaumette (who apparently took over responsibility for the weddings at Chaumette when the prior wedding coordinator left) and a young man we were told was director of barn operations (or a similar title) of all of the things I was hoping to do at the wedding, and worked many of the details into our executed contract. I was assured that every detail I mentioned would be completely fine, and no one at Chaumette brought up any possible issues. On the day of the wedding it became blatantly obvious how bad the lack of communication between Chaumette’s staff is. For example, a man named Keith, who apparently is “weddings director” at Chaumette (although we had never spoken to him in the process of planning our wedding at Chaumette) all of a sudden appeared. He began to tell us that we could not do things that we had previously discussed with both the owner of Chaumette, and the multiple wedding coordinators we had been told to work with. It was clear the "weddings director" had no clue what the plan was for our wedding, since he had not been involved in any part of the planning process. Of course when we pointed out that those things were specifically included in our contract he became overtly rude and difficult to work with for the duration of the event. On top of some more minor things that made our wedding day difficult and unnecessarily stressful, Chaumette allowed another wedding, set to occur the day after ours, to use our location to rehearse WHILE we were trying to set up for our own wedding that evening. The dinner was a bit cold, but good, however, guests complained that some of the pork burgers we had paid Chaumette $396 to prepare as a surprise late night snack for our guests were literally bloody and setup nowhere near where guests would know to grab one when they left (essentially a waste of money). Also, we pre-paid 20% gratuity on the ~$6,755 bill for food and drinks during the reception, however, there was only one bartender on staff while the line for drinks was out the door (she informed us they were “short staffed”), AND the bartender had her own jar out asking for tips on top of the ~$1,351 we had already paid in gratuity for the staff. They also announced last call 15 minutes early, and when there was half an hour left at our reception, the owner and other Chaumette staff literally stood there with their arms crossed frowning at all of our guests which was extremely awkward and uncomfortable. While the venue is undoubtedly beautiful, my advice to any couple planning a wedding at the barn at Chaumette is to insist on putting EVERYTHING in writing (in detail) and hiring your own day-of coordinator to handle all of the issues that are bound to come up with Chaumette on your wedding day. This venue might be better fit for a couple who wants to have a very simple wedding, with little to no extra details.

r there and getting no service after 45 minutes. Don't let the view fool you or the fact that they have rooms, reception space, chapel, etc. all in one place - dealing with the management is NOT worth it. They couldn't have gotten it more wrong! From our food at our reception being ready over an hour before multiple emails stated that the wedding party would even be entering the venue, to them forgetting to provide ushers for our guests, to the grooms surprise cake not coming out after the DJ announced it (giving it away) multiple times - we have horrible memories of Chaumette's coordination of our wedding day. The lady that runs the salon works hours away and double booked our day and provided expensive quotes for what they offer. She was incredibly offensive in closing the deal, assuming we were going to basically trash the place while we were getting ready. We are adults. We cancelled everything when they we couldn't come to an agreement on prices and times a WEEK before the wedding after everything had been set for months. The rooms were great and the guests enjoyed that space and the pool. The food was ok, but after being hounded the entire time we were taking wedding photos to come down since the food was ready, nothing tasted good. SO many things we had agreed on months prior fell through the cracks and when we approached her at the wedding she screamed at me. When my family met with the management afterwards her response to being presented with all of the emails with everything that we had agreed upon was "So I guess we ruined your wedding - sue us!" Are you serious? We are going to start our happy lives and not look back, but to write reviews so others know what they are dealing with here. They were great during the initial weeks of planning as long as we were writing the checks (a LOT of checks) but on the day-of they were nowhere to be found. This would have been a great setting to return to for multiple anniversaries, but myself and my family and friends will never set foot on their property again. That is how strongly we feel about their ability to coordinate these types of events, how we were treated, and our experience at this venue under this management. Do not patronize this establishment!
