Historic mansion vibes, golden-hour sunsets, and secret garden “I do’s.” Le Château is where timeless elegance meets modern celebration—an iconic setting to make your wedding truly unforgettable.
Set high on a hillside in South Salem, NY, Le Château is a historic Golden Age mansion turned breathtaking wedding venue. With sweeping Hudson Valley views, lush gardens, and unforgettable sunsets, it sets a romantic backdrop for your one-of-a-kind celebration.
Originally commissioned by financier J.P. Morgan in 1907 and designed by the famed Atterbury & Atterbury, the estate showcases craftsmanship rarely seen today—stone fireplaces, grand staircases, and timeless architecture. In 2016, the property was lovingly restored and expanded, blending historic elegance with modern luxury. Every detail, from the lobby to the cocktail lounges, was refreshed while preserving the mansion’s original charm.
Couples can exchange vows beneath a garden arbor surrounded by rolling hills, then dine and dance in the elegant ballroom, accommodating up to 265 guests. Private wedding suites provide a serene space to get ready in style before the festivities begin.
At Le Château, your wedding is the only event of the day. You’ll work with a dedicated coordinator and day-of maître d’ to ensure every moment flows seamlessly. The all-inclusive wedding package features a one-hour cocktail reception, a four-hour plated dinner, and full bar service with cocktails, wine, beer, and spirits—all delivered with attentive, personalized service.
Le Château isn’t just a venue—it’s where history, romance, and modern celebration come together to create incredible memories.

making sure everything was where it needed to be and helping the day run smoothly. Our attendant was exceptional, and the team made sure that we were taken care of all day, while still ensuring a guest forward experience. During planning, the team was responsive and informative, answering all of our questions. They are knowledgeable and made sure we understood everything that needed to be done. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. Well maintained and full of detail, our photos indoors were beautiful. We absolutely fell in love with the cocktail hour space and were blown away by the ballroom. The space needed very little added decor. Overall we cannot speak highly enough of Le Chateau and our wedding day thanks to them.

nd made sure I had anything I needed. Tori was so prompt with responding to emails and providing her input when we had a question. The planning process was smooth and the timeline was laid out clearly. You can tell they've done a lot of weddings, so they know what they are doing, but everything felt so personal. We trusted them and they totally delivered! Our guests RAVED about the cocktail hour and entrée selection at the reception. Many of our guests mentioned that they loved choosing their meal once there, and they could tell the food was freshly prepared. The staff was professional, personable and helpful. A special thing that sets Le Chateau apart from other venues is that all couples who have gotten married there are invited back each year for an "Anniversary Party" to enjoy food, drinks and music. We are looking forward to going back and reminiscing on our perfect day!

s incredibly organized and professional. Throughout my planning process, Sarah and Tory would answer all my questions and always got back to me quickly when I emailed. It wasn’t uncommon for me to get a response back the very same day. All the vendors we hired were from the list that Le Chateau provided and it was so wonderful to see how everyone worked together and spoke so highly of one another. Friends told me to expect some of the little things I’d planned to go wrong on my wedding day but with Le chateau that couldn’t be further from the truth. Our wedding day was more than we could have ever imagined. I have to acknowledge Claudia who is an absolute angel. She was by my side through the whole wedding and didn’t let me worry about a thing. What stands out to me about the staff at Le chateau is that they do this every day, yet have such a wonderful way of making your day feel special and important to them. I couldn’t be happier to recommend Le Chateau.

The setting of Le Chateau is truly a dream, but the way the team operates makes it even more incredible. This doesn't happen by accident, and the staff are incredibly talented, creative and excel at making sure that everything goes according to plan. Honestly, everything was perfect and the food was amazing, and we couldn't be happier!

your timeline running smoothly. The venue itself is stunning – we fell in love with it instantly and we got millions of compliments from our guests. The outdoor ceremony space is amazing, it was so romantic, and the ballroom was magical. It is the kind of place where every single detail was thought of and considered. Our bridal attendant, Isabel, was AMAZING. She was anticipating all of our needs (even ones we didn’t know we had) and was always making sure we were fed.
The food was also excellent and one thing I loved about the venue is that you are invited to a tasting prior to your wedding date to pick out some of the food you may want at the actual event. We will be thinking back on this day for a long time – it was everything we could’ve dreamed of. Thank you to Le Chateau from the bottom of our hearts – anyone would be lucky to get married in such a wonderful place.

nto a moving and speechless ballroom that fit everyone including an extraordinary band (Naked Soul Band) that came recommended early on in our wedding plan. We danced all night.
From a bride’s standpoint, I felt well taken care of. From our wedding attendant (Claudia- whom, I could never sum up enough good things about her! She’s just amazing!) to Debbie (same sentiments- made for a smooth night of celebrations and transitions), we were just able to relax, enjoy our night, and our food! Le Chateau has an amazing food selection. From the dinner to the cocktail hour. We were most impressed when we were invited to a recently engaged party where we got to try and sample each selection before ultimately deciding on our choice selection for big day.
If you wish to make your wedding day seamless, your wedding party well taken care of, your guests left stunned…Id greatly view and book and Le Chateau. You’re memories will thank you!

y during our first walkthrough with the amazing Sarah. The wood, flowers, the touches of modern; we loved it all. Additionally, we wanted an onsite ceremony, and the garden is stunning. Not to mention, their rain back up plan was far better than most of the other venues we toured. The months, weeks, and days leading up to our wedding, they were there with us every step of the way, answering all of our countless emails and questions. Tori and Debbi are there with you from start to finish, keeping you on track and organized. The team and venue are extremely flexible and were able to work with all of our requests. We loved everything! Our wedding day went absolutely perfectly! Everything was as we planned it to be and most importantly, our run of show and timeline was executed perfectly, almost to the minute. And then there’s Claudia, what a treasure and blessing she is. She’s with you every minute of your day making sure you barely lift a finger. Need a sip of water? She has one. Need to cover your dress so you can eat and not worry about making a mess, they have it covered. Need your flats after dancing for so long? She has them. Whatever you needed Claudia had it covered! So many people loved Claudia and the entire staff; they made it so easy and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Truly the best staff in the entire world. And the food! That’s all everyone talked about after the staff, was the food! From cocktail hour to dinner and late-night snacks, the food, cooked to order, is absolutely unbelievable. With LeChateau and their vendors, you’re truly part of the family. I could go on and on about how perfect our day was, but recommend you to see for yourself! You will have zero regrets! Thank you LeChateau!

The venue is absolutely gorgeous—the grounds are stunning and the ballroom is breathtaking. We were initially drawn to Le Chateau not only for its beauty, but also because we felt ...
so welcomed by the staff on our tour. I knew that if we booked, we’d be taken care of—and we absolutely were. Tori was incredible from start to finish, always available to answer logistical questions and help ensure every detail reflected our wishes. I truly appreciated her input, advice, and perspective on both the big decisions and the small touches.
My husband and I still talk about the bridal attendant we had on our special day. Claudia was the absolute sweetest, running around all night to make sure we had everything we could possibly need. I’ll never forget her following us with water, drinks, a fan, lip gloss—anything at all—always with a smile. She was instrumental in making the day run so smoothly.
The wait staff was exceptional—always accessible and accommodating, yet never intrusive. Our friends couldn’t stop raving about how amazing the bartenders were and how delicious the drinks tasted!
I’ve often heard other brides say, “Not everything will go as planned, and that’s okay.” But at Le Chateau, I honestly can’t think of a single thing that went wrong. If there were any hiccups, I was blissfully unaware—and I truly believe that’s because of the incredible staff working behind the scenes.
The one thing I would’ve done differently was to have booked two wedding days with you all. Thank you to the entire Le Chateau team for making our day so unbelievably special. We would do it all over again at Le Chateau in a heartbeat.

Our day-of person managed the timeline and coordination w band, florist, photographer, and ceremony officiant perfectly while still making sure we were eating. We were all happy to be in such good hands w everyone at LeChateau.

was so easy to work with and super responsive to all of my inquiries. As the bride I was completely catered to on the day of. Claudia is on top of her bridal game and handles Absolutely everything! I was blown away with how much she assisted me and how at ease, she made me feel. Claudia also saved the day when there was a make up emergency down the front of my dress, just moments before I was expected down the aisle. She immediately sprung into action and made my dress look good as new. Debbie made sure everything ran smooth and on time. The food is top-notch. Many guests said it was the BEST cocktail hour they had ever experienced, some even thought that the cocktail hour was their meal! Between the quality and quantity, it was superior. The ballroom, the chandeliers, the views! I could go on and on. The venue truly has it all, not to mention a photo op around every corner! We had our winter fairytale wedding December 14, 2024. We wanted to extend a special and heartfelt thank you to Sarah, Tori, Debbie, Claudia, and to all of the staff at Le Chateau for making our wedding dreams come true. <3

g from it was the most elegant wedding to praising the food and service. The venue and staff was way beyond our
expectations. Having worked in the wedding business most of my life I’ve been to hundreds of weddings. My father was a wedding photographer and I was a wedding planner at a venue. In all that time I cannot remember
having such a perfect experience. Sarah, Claudia, Debbie, Tori and there staff were the
loveliest people I’ve ever worked with. The
food was like going to a 5 star restaurant.
When we visited the venue I thought it was very pretty but lit up at night it was exquisite.
Dreams do come true.

e not to have a wedding planner as we got closer to the day, but with the fantastic team at Le Chateau, you really did not need one. They take care of absolutely everything, and are so professional and organized so you can just enjoy your night. Debbie was so amazing in keeping our night running smoothly. My bridal attendant was Rily, and she absolutely made my day. She was so kind, attentive, and was so lovely to have around, doing anything she could to help me be more comfortable. The venue itself, especially the ballroom, is stunning. Tori was AMAZING in planning the wedding. I have several serious food allergies, and we came to them with the idea that my entire wedding would be free of those allergens. They were supportive and worked SO hard to make that happen for us from the very beginning. On my wedding day, we had an amazing, curated, delicious menu that was fully safe for me to eat. As someone with allergies, I can’t say enough how much this meant to me - and I doubt there are many venues/caterers that would have done this for me. They are incredible, I highly highly recommend!!

I cannot recommend this team enough.
Additionally, Claudia was absolutely fantastic. She not only was extremely attentive making sure that my husband and I had everything we needed but she was an absolute gem of a person. Overall, Claudia was extremely nice and so helpful with everything. I highly recommend her for your event that day.

Our wedding at Le Chateau in March 2025 was amazing! From the beginning, the staff at Le Chateau were clear, approachable, and responsive. They were very transparent and fair with ...
the wedding package. I appreciate that the team didn’t try to pressure us for any upcharges, and there were no hidden fees. They include catering and day-of coordination, which made everything much simpler to plan. The setting and grounds are gorgeous. We did an indoors wedding since we were off-season which I would recommend since we didn’t have to stress about the weather! The food was delicious, with lots of options, and received rave reviews from our guests. The team were organized throughout the process, and very responsive on phone and email. They were all lovely to work with. The wedding attendant helped make everything stress-free and was so kind. Le Chateau coordinated with all our vendors, and their recommended vendor list helped make the process easier. The team worked behind the scenes to make our wedding day seamless. The bridal suite is also spacious with great light for photos. The only note is that their location is a bit further from hotels and public transportation, so we arranged a shuttle bus to a Norwalk hotel, but it was still very doable for NYC area and visiting guests. I cannot recommend Le Chateau enough!

process, Tori was an absolute gem, helping us navigate everything from the menu and seating charts to answering our endless questions with patience and care.
On the day of our wedding, Debbie, our maître’d, flawlessly orchestrated every detail. She allowed us to drop off items early and ensured everything was set up perfectly. And then there’s Claudia—our bridal attendant and quite possibly the MVP of the day. She was by my side from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., anticipating every need, keeping us on schedule, and even setting aside food for us to enjoy whenever we had a moment. Her level of care and attention was truly remarkable.
The entire staff, from the ushers and servers to the bartenders and bussers, was warm, welcoming, and attentive to every guest. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, providing the perfect backdrop for our celebration.
I don’t have a single negative—or even average—thing to say about Le Chateau. From start to finish, every aspect of our experience exceeded expectations.
Le Chateau made our wedding day not just special but truly unforgettable. If you’re considering this venue, book it now—you will not regret it!

Le Chateau gave us the fairytale wedding of our dreams. We toured a handful of wedding venues around the Lower Hudson Valley, but this one stood out from the moment we walked in. E...
very space takes your breath away—from the gorgeous outdoor ceremony garden, to the main entrance, the bridal & groom suites, the Pierpoint cocktail room, library bar, and of course the main ballroom. When we first met Sarah for a tour, she was warm and professional and left us feeling like we would be in excellent hands if we chose Le Chateau.
We could not have been more right. Every detail was executed flawlessly. We did not hire a wedding planner, and frankly, we didn't need one (we gave ourselves 2+ years to plan it ourselves). Tori was extremely kind and helpful with all our requests leading up to the event, and Debbie, the maitre d, took charge of the day with an even-keeled and professional demeanor. It's expected that the event will not go entirely according to schedule, but every time Debbie needed our attention she approached us in a way where we did not feel rushed or pressured. It made a huge difference during an already overwhelming event.
Our bridal attendant Claudia was a highlight of the day. As others here have noted, she deserves her own review. Just an absolute rockstar and a joy to be around. She took care of everything, from making sure we drank water throughout the evening, to dealing with wardrobe issues and setting aside hors d'oeuvres for us to enjoy during the cocktail hour. Our friends and family kept remarking how wonderful Claudia was. She made our already perfect day even more special.
The food was a knockout success. Normally at larger events there is an expectation that the food will be edible, but mediocre. Not here. Our guests could not stop raving about how delicious everything was. We were most excited about the fun cocktail stations (we went with a mac n cheese station and an Asian station) and they did not disappoint. The seated dinner was also exceptional. An additional shout-out to all the bartenders and waitstaff who provided excellent service throughout the evening.
Our other vendors (florist, DJ, transportation, cake) all came recommended by Le Chateau and they all worked together seamlessly. Seriously, there was not one mishap. It's clear these people love what they do and put extra care into making sure each wedding is a success.
I cannot recommend this venue enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

In every sense of the word, Le Chateau is perfect. Starting from the top, the location is stunning. The house is beautiful and unique, the ballroom is breathtaking, and the landsca...
pe is gorgeous. The food and drinks? Incredibly good. Not just good "wedding food," but genuinely delicious food and drinks that people still cannot stop raving about. My husband has been dreaming of the burnt ends from the Southern Comfort cocktail station - we've been trying and failing to find a restaurant that can match them. The massive dance floor also meant that everyone was dancing the entire night long. But in true form Le Chateau had the best of both worlds; they also have some comfy couches outside of the ballroom that were great for our older family members who appreciated a quiet moment.
All that excellence aside, the real reason to choose Le Chateau is the team. Tori, Debbie, Sarah literally made all our dreams come true. People talk about wedding stress, but I had none because they were on top of everything. They made the entire wedding planning process seamless, exciting, and utterly wonderful. I was able to truly enjoy every aspect of our wedding day without a single care because I knew the Le Chateau team had everything in hand. The service flowed flawlessly, as did the drinks. Claudia, my bridal attendant, needs a whole separate review to talk about how amazing she is. She is a ray of pure sunshine who was by my side the entire day helping with everything and anything I needed. I even didn't know I needed a bridal attendant, but my day would not have been the same without her.
Dozens of our guests have been calling, texting, even writing letters to tell us that it was the best wedding they had ever attended.
In short, all the staff at Le Chateau truly love and are experts at weddings and it absolutely shows. Thank you for everything!

e Sales Director, gave us an amazing tour and explained to us how hands-on her staff is. When you book Le Chateau, they provide you with a recommended vendor list, which was incredibly helpful. I booked all of our vendors from that list, too easy! As you get closer to the wedding, you'll have a planning Zoom call with Tori, the event coordinator, and Debbie, the maitre d. They will go over all of the food, timeline, details, vendors, and logistics. Le Chateau coordinates with your vendors - no need to have a wedding planner! Six months before our wedding, we attended a cocktail tasting event to try different appetizers and desserts. It was so much fun! On the day of our wedding, Claudia was our bridal attendant and she was amazing! She took care of us the whole day. Made sure we were hydrated, fed, and still breathing. Our guests had a wonderful time too! Everyone loved the venue, the food, and the excellent service. We even had a gorgeous sunset later in the day. Le Chateau exceeded my expectations and gave me my fairytale wedding. I cannot recommend them enough.

Having our June wedding at Le Chateau was a beautiful start to our love story. We had the most magical day and night. We loved seeing the smiling faces on all of our guests. The pl...
anning process with the wonderful staff was seamless. Our guests were welcomed with champagne and enjoyed passed passed Hors d'oeuvres with beautiful views. Our bridal attendant went over and beyond to take care of us throughout the night. The service, food, cocktails, and especially the views both inside and out of Le Chateau were outstanding. We created a lifetime of memories with each other, and with our family and friends. Le Chateau holds a special place in our happily ever after.

My daughter’s wedding at Le Chateau far exceeded our expectations in every way. I simply cannot say enough good things about every aspect of our experience. Each and every person ...
on staff made our family and guests feel welcome and attended to with the highest level of service. My daughter, had a personal attendant who not only catered to her every need, but also to those of all participants in her wedding and parents. The bartenders and waitstaff were wonderful-warm, friendly and super professional. Food and drinks were fabulous. The whole management team made the planning process fun and easy-providing a blueprint for how things would progress from beginning to end. Not a single detail was missed. Everything was simply perfect. Unforgettable. Highly recommend!!!

If you’re thinking about having your wedding here, do it!!! Le Chateau made all of our dreams come true for our wedding day. Planning was a breeze with Sarah, Tori and Debbie. They...
were accommodating of every little question and email. Our day was absolutely gorgeous – the property is stunning, and even better, the service is outstanding. Claudia, the bridal attendant, is incredible at what she does. I had no idea what a bridal attendant did until I showed up the day-of and met Claudia – I can’t imagine my day without her. She made sure my husband and I had water and food, fluffed my dress in photos, and was just an absolute joy to be around. All of our guests raved about the servers and bartenders. And the FOOD! The food is out of this world, truly the best hors d'oeuvres and entrees I could have imagined. We had several guests say it was the best steak they’d ever had. We are so, so grateful we chose Le Chateau!!!

We recently hosted our daughter’s wedding at Le Chateau and it was pure perfection. Sarah Schiller and her team are smart, honest, capable professionals who are absolutely delightf...
ul to work with. They took care of every detail, and made the entire planning process a breeze. The food was excellent, and the service was unsurpassed. I was fielding calls from our guests for weeks after the wedding, all of them raving about the food, the service, and of course, the beauty of the venue itself. On the day of the wedding, all we needed to do was sit back and enjoy this amazing celebration of love with our family and friends. Thank you, Le Chateau, for all you did to make this the wedding of my daughter’s dreams. All I can say to anyone considering this as their venue is that it will be the best decision you’ll ever make.

Le Chateau is more than just a wedding venue; it's a sanctuary where dreams take flight and memories are etched into the fabric of time. From the moment you set foot on its enchant...
ing grounds, you're enveloped in a world of timeless elegance and impeccable service.
The exterior, reminiscent of a European castle, sets the stage for the grandeur that awaits within. As you step through its doors, you're greeted not just by a venue, but by a family of dedicated staff who are committed to making your special day nothing short of extraordinary.
From the moment we stepped through the doors for our tour, to the thoughtful emails we received after our wedding day, the staff at Le Chateau treated us amazingly.
Every interaction is infused with warmth, care, and genuine enthusiasm. Never once did we feel pressured or overwhelmed; instead, we were met with thoughtful guidance
Their guidance helped our day run smoothly, and their friendly and open responses to our many questions eased our planning anxiety. It’s clear that every staff member at Le Chateau genuinely cares about your day and enjoys their work, making the entire experience so much more special.
Our guests cannot stop raving about the food and the exceptional service they received on our wedding day. Despite the incredibly rainy and cold weather, Le Chateau felt like a warm hug and an old friend. This was especially meaningful as my parents were married there in the 80s, adding a personal touch to our celebration.
Le Chateau’s beauty and functionality exceeded our expectations. We wanted a venue where we didn't need to worry about the weather, and Le Chateau delivered. Our pictures and videos are gorgeous, capturing the perfect blend of a cozy European castle and a grand Italian ballroom.
We cannot recommend Le Chateau enough. It is a beautiful venue with a dedicated and caring staff, ensuring your wedding day is everything you dreamed of and more. We wish we could relive our day over and over again, and we are forever grateful to Le Chateau for making it unforgettable.

We got married this March at Le Chateau and it was honestly perfect! I work in Event Sales and Hospitality in NYC and from the initial inquiry to the follow up after the event, Sar...
ah, Tori and the entire Le Chateau team went above and beyond. They were responsive, organized and kind throughout what I could imagine could be a stressful process... at another venue! At Le Chateau it was stress free and seamless. Our guests raved about everything from the food, to our blood orange singature cocktail and the flow of the night. We got to eat and drink with our guests while still staying on track and not missing a moment. Thank you Le Chateau!

Our March 2024 wedding was an absolute dream come true. After our tour with Sarah, we knew Le Chateau was the only place for us to tie the knot. It is stunning both inside and out,...
which is why we had no problem choosing the month of March. We knew no matter what the weather forecast was, we were guaranteed the most beautiful wedding, and that is exactly what we got!
From the ceremony, to the food, to the endless dancing, we could not have asked for a better night. Sarah and Tori made the months of planning so easy and enjoyable. Debbie ensured that the entire night ran seamlessly, especially with our very large bridal party to keep in order! And Jackie, my bridal attendant, never left my side and made sure I never went hungry (or thirsty!). Our guests continue to rave about Le Chateau, many of them leaving with hopes that their own children would come look at this venue for their own weddings!

answered all of my questions along the way. The space is gorgeous, and our guests couldn't say enough good things about the whole building. The food was also a huge hit across the board (go for the Spud bar!). We couldn't be happier with our choice.

ryone raved about it. The service provided was fantastic …we had “ Riley “ who was so sweet and attentive to everyone’s needs. This is how a wedding should be done..For the family- who worries the most. It’s a proud moment when we can sit back and know that a venue takes such pride as well as their employees. It shows in the manner they conduct business. From the very beginning until the last minute, at the end of the night, they were nothing but amazing . There are not enough thank you’s to go around to the entire staff , the chef & and their wait staff . Simply the Best!!!

the most fun and beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to. Le Chateau has so many options for rain or shine that you won’t ever have to worry!
Guests are still raving about cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert stations and even our signature drinks. The entire team at Le Chateau - Sarah, Tori, the bridal attendants, and wait staff are so welcoming and attentive. You cannot go wrong with having your wedding at Le Chateau. We hope that one of our friends will get married there so we can go back!! Thank you Le Chateau for making our dreams come true!!

re was intimate and cozy for cocktail hour, and the reception hall is gorgeous. The food is five stars - it was like dining out at a Michelin rated restaurant in Manhattan (where we live). The service is impeccable - all our guests complimented us for such outstanding service. The bridal attendant I had, Claudia, knew what I needed before I even asked for it. She made me feel so comfortable and taken care of - as if I was the most important person in the world... Unforgettable!
Sarah, Tori, Debbie and the rest of the Le Chateau staff made sure everything went smoothly - there were literally no hiccups from the venue at all.
The setting is so picturesque and everything felt so magical. We are so grateful to the team, and feel so lucky to have had the wedding of our dreams at Le Chateau.

Our wedding at Le Chateau was perfect and we wouldn't have changed a thing! The staff did everything they could beforehand and the day of to make sure we were happy and our vision ...
was being met. The food was incredible and the venue's indoor and outdoor spaces are all gorgeous! We held our ceremony inside the ballroom but were able to take outdoor photos earlier in the day, and everything went extremely smoothly. We were worried that without a planner there would be a lot of added work on us, but it was totally manageable and Debbie understood where everything was supposed to go and how the night's timeline was supposed to work. We would highly recommend Le Chateau and would have no doubts recommending this venue!

This venue was absolutely amazing! My dreams came true with this venue, the food was amazing. All people could talk about was how fantastic the food was and how beautiful the venue...
was. If you are looking for a rustic lodge vibe, with a clean elegant ballroom look this is the venue for you. They were so kind and so helpful with planning. To us, it was an easy sell on the venue but Sarah sold us immediately with everything it has to offer. Tori was so helpful in coordinating and making sure we had everything done and Debbie our Maître d' was so nice and felt like home. Debbie really made sure the night went so smoothly and always checked up on us to make sure it was a night to remember. Her calm and sweet nature made the day relaxing for us and felt like we had nothing to worry about. Ryli our bridal attendant was attending and sweet! It's funny how everyone always warns you like "something will go wrong but it doesn't matter and no one will know" but seriously, nothing went wrong in my eyes and I'm so grateful for that. Because everything went so perfectly, I am only saying one nit-picky thing that really does not matter at all. The only thing I would say not to do is bring your own alcohol bottles to drink to leave behind the bar if it is not on the drink package because one of my nice bottles got lost (not all of them but only mine) when I was the only one drinking it (which I barely had any) and not to be shared, however that was an added thing that is absolutely not necessary and at the end of the day doesn't matter. Otherwise, you cannot go wrong with this venue!

nce. From the moment we took the tour of the venue, we knew we found a perfect place. The staff are there for you every step of the process, ready to answer questions and help anyway they can. When it came to the day of the wedding everything flowed seamlessly, and we felt like royalty. The staff was there not only for us from the moment we got there, but all our guests can’t stop complementing how amazing they were. I feel so grateful to have had the most amazing wedding day with Le chateau being such a big part of that. We can’t thank them enough, and just hope to be back as wedding guests soon!!

We chose Le Chateau for its elegant ballroom, refined cocktail space, and gorgeous grounds. We had a beautiful wedding and all LC staff were friendly and professional. Our bridal ...
attendant was especially helpful and tended to not only mine (bride) but our immediate family's needs without question. The food was awesome as well and our guest's were definitely impressed.
The only major complaint for this venue is the *strict* bridal suite entrance time. You are not allowed into the space until 10am and no matter how many extra hair and makeup artists I hired to try and make up for that lost time in the morning, we were extremely tight on time. Because of this, we could not make our cocktail hour at all, despite doing a first look and extending to 1.5 hours. This was extremely disappointing and something to consider when choosing a venue (if it is important to you to get ready in the bridal suite). Overall a beautiful wedding venue!
