Holds ceremonies and receptions
When we found this venue it was just reopening after a change of ownership and major remodel, so we we were taking a chance. However, from the moment we arrived to see it for the first time we knew it would be amazing. Kellie coordinated beautifully and was excellent at communicating (we sent many a long email with detailed questions and always got quick helpful responses), professional and creative, and is a warm and genuine person who was legit excited along with us. We created a whole weekend experience with multiple events and all our guests remarked at how beautiful the venue was, how kind and helpful the staff were. When the forecast changed for the worse and we couldn’t have the ceremony outside (in a dreamy field with horses in the background) they made the indoor options work beautifully, to the point we both wonder if the rain plan ended up even better. We used our own caterer for the reception but the Chateau meals and catering at our other events were excellent. We had a welcome dinner in the venue’s restaurant, Pino which was delicious Mediterranean food with a lot of accommodations for vegetarians and guests with dietary restrictions. Many of our guests stayed at the venue with us, creating a glam intimate retreat vibe. I am a particular person by nature and yet I struggle to find a single thing I’d change. Hats off to the Chateau staff and a shout out to Kellie, Sherrie, KristaAnn, Jaylen, and even our super fun bartender Fabian who heated up the dance floor at the end of our reception. Highly recommend this venue!
We had the most magical wedding at the Chateau Merrimack! It was an amazing place to get married. The team went all out to accommodate us. Their coordination team (starring the amazing Kellie) was amazing. The day of team pulled out all the stops to make sure every guest was happy. The setting was so beautiful. Food was beyond amazing. We were able to have our rehearsal reception, ceremony, and reception all there. It was great having the guest able to stay there as well. The bridal suite was amazing. To our happy surprise, our bridal suite was stocked with beautiful fresh flower's from Lily's garden (from the grounds), cold champagne, and yummy food! Additionally, there was plenty of dedicated space for the bridal party to get ready, which was a great setup. The whole weekend was a dream. I feel lucky to have been able to get married here because I truly think that this place will book up fast as it is such a great spot!
