River Road Chateau

ny or just pictures. The reception area is equally beautiful and doesn't require extensive decoration to achieve beautiful results. Additionally, the open patios allow for a fun indoor/outdoor vibe for the receptions which was exactly what we were looking for. Belle Manor is also so beautiful and the perfect spot to get ready with your bridesmaids. While the venue itself is wonderful, what really sets RRC apart is Lori and her staff. Lori was so nice and easy to work with. While working with Lori, it was very clear how much she truly cares about each couple and wanting to set up the perfect day for you. She was organized and helpful/patient while answering my constant stream of questions throughout planning. She was so willing to work with us to help us bring our dream wedding to fruition. The vendors she suggested were also excellent and her list helped us to fill in the gaps we had. Everything was absolutely perfect for us at River Road Chateau and I am confident it will be for you too.

the house next door to get ready and stay the night after. Lori and Robin went above and beyond to make our vision of a beautiful wedding come true despite a rainy day! I cannot recommend this place enough.

he same property and we utilized the guest house the night before and night of and it was the perfect set-up!

xtremely convenient, and so fun for the whole wedding party to stay together the night before. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone with an upcoming wedding!

a better venue/coordinator! Would recommend RRC to anyone having a wedding.

one heck of a groundskeeper made our day memorable. Lori even went as far as mosquito fogging the ceremony area an hour before the guests arrived, and not a biting bug was in sight! Our guests all loved the blooming gardens and butterflies galore! Overall a magical day!

easy to ask her the 101 questions we all have as brides, because she truly cares about you and your wedding. RRC's ceremony meadow is like something out of dream. We had a late summer wedding and it was stunning with the amount of green we were surrounded with. There are so many incredible photo-opp locations throughout the property, that you'll be able to get a ton of unique shots. My bridesmaids and I got ready in Belle Manor that day, which made everything so comfortable - it's basically like staying in your own private house. My parents even spent the night there! The reception hall is incredible as well, with a delightfully Tuscan vibe. And all you have to do is open up the doors to the lit patio outside to help you cool off after working up a sweat dancing. Best. wedding. ever.

ch time or money on decor. This venue doesn't need it! The venue manager, Lori, was soooooo great to work with. Always quick to respond, flexible and easy-going, and so friendly! I knew from the beginning that we were in good hands with her. Whenever I spoke with her, she made me feel like ours was their only wedding and highest priority, despite the fact we got married during one of the busiest months of the year. So many of our guests complimented the venue, commenting on how beautiful it was. I don't doubt that choosing this venue was one of the best wedding decisions we made!!

worry about leaving anything anywhere. The grounds are stunning and so well taken care of. It was a perfect venue for our perfect day.

l dinner there, which was great. Then the bridal party got ready there, after which the bride & groom spent their first night together there. It truly made for a magical experience...and very reasonable to boot! Lori was absolutely delightful..professional, helpful, available & fun! Ariel, the bride wished she could work for her, were she to live in the area.😄 We are grateful for a perfect experience, and have not a single complaint! That is an amazing way to feel after such a big event in your life. I can’t recommend RRC highly enough!

was absolutely out of this world and I loved it a lot. My husband and I couldn’t have asked for more. I would give this 10 stars if I could! I love love this place. Get married here! The staff is so wonderful on top of everything:)

a dime to spend on any other decor, this venue will still be gorgeous on your big day. Chandeliers and stone everywhere! The staff is practically perfect in every way, providing care and attention to detail for your every need. All my questions were answered timely and sweetly, I was never treated as petty or a bridezilla. Lori had such patience with me, helping me move the tables exactly where I wanted them as Kathy did in driving me in my giant dress on the golf cart from the house to the ceremony meadow. AND if you have not yet seen Belle Manor, you need to! We were able to rent the house for our extensive out-of-town bridal party, making our wedding day preparations and aftermath comfortable and convenient. There was nothing better than leaving to my sparkler exit, walking over to the house with my husband, and being able to immediately get comfortable and relax. There are numerous factors that made me feel like a princess on my big day, but River Road is most definitely at the top of that list. Location, services, style, and staff are all impeccable and I would recommend them to anyone! p.s. They're Disney fans too, in case anyone is looking!

e for the reception is beautiful and accommodated our 150 guests without feeling crowded. The evening was nice enough to have the buffet out on a side patio and this also made a nice area for guests to visit. Lori and her staff were beyond the best to work with!!! They were pleasant, professional, and present throughout the reception to make sure things were running smoothly. The staff was a huge help getting things packed up and cleaned up. When we returned from the bride and groom send out, basically all our things were on two tables in the back which made it easy and quick to load. Another benefit to River Road Chateau is the Guest House on the premises. It was so relaxing to be on site the whole day of the wedding and not worry about having to load up and go anywhere. My daughter chose to get ready in the bridal suite at the house instead of the venue, and this made getting ready very relaxing. I highly recommend staying in the house! Lori has worked hard on a vendor list, and we used everyone she suggested and were VERY pleased. Our guests loved the food, complimented the DJ, and the bar was very reasonable! From food to security, Lori’s recommendations were outstanding. The whole weekend was truly enjoyable and perfect, we wouldn’t have changed a thing!

ed on horseback (with the whole bridal party horseback, too!) and they helped us make that happen. Their suggestions, ever-ready help and thoughtfulness are uncomparable! I would absolutely, hands down, very highly recommend RRC for your wedding! You will be so thankful you did because the property is not only absolutely stunning any time of year, the people are professional, thoughtful and just plain PERFECT! I am eternally grateful that we found River Road Chateau and I refuse to imagine my wedding anywhere else!! RRC truly is a fairy tale come true.

nd there is more! We wanted 9 horses to be in the wedding! Not many beautiful places can accommodate horses in your wedding, but River Road Chateau went out of their way to accommodate our horses. The wedding meadow is tucked in a nook of the property down a short path, across a wooden bridge over a creek bed, and nestled in the trees. That beautiful pathway passes by gorgeous Italian gardens (in which you could choose to have your wedding) and, after you cross over the bridge, then leads you through double doors and down to the altar complete with wooden arch, crystal chandelier and, now, hitching posts off to the side, for those horses! On the other side of the wedding meadow is a beautiful, wide open pasture which made for amazing photographs with the wedding party, bride and groom all on horseback! Wait! There is more! Did I mention the fact that our groom and his family were from out of town and we needed accommodations for them close by? Not a problem for River Road Chateau! Right on the premises they have the most beautiful plantation style house newly remodeled and furnished to accommodate 15 guests with a living room and kitchen. It was so nice to be able to rent that lovely home instead of having to put everyone up in cold hotel rooms. The master suite is decorated in a beautiful silver/grey décor. It was so gorgeous we decided to use it for the bridal party to get ready in, instead of the beautiful bridal room that is available down in the reception hall. The reception hall also has a wonderful groom’s dressing area which our groom and his groomsmen hung out and dressed in. The Reception Hall also has beautiful chandeliers, gorgeous antique French entry doors, lots of side doors that can be slid open to reveal the two outdoor, covered patios your guests can over flow to in beautiful weather, a fabulous kitchen and bar area, and guest bath rooms. I really loved that part of the rental included glass water goblets and wine glasses and tables and chairs for 200 guests, among other details. Wait, there is more! Did I mention how amazing Lori, Krysti, Larry and the staff were? Absolutely incredible, from beginning to the very end. There wasn’t a moment that they were not on top of, making sure that my job was as smooth and easy as possible. They loved the horses and nothing about their needs intimidated them. We stretched everything to the limit but you would never have known that. The details of the day were turned over to them and I never had to worry about a thing because they took care of every detail. I was able to spend my time with my daughter and family while they made sure everything ran smoothly. They promised us the wedding of our daughter’s dreams, and they delivered! I can’t imagine having our wedding at any other venue! Thank you, Larry, Lori and Krysti!

on I had, and all with the kindest attitude! Not only was this venue a decent price, it is absolutely stunning! They continue to make improvements to the grounds and each time they sent us an update, we were more and more impressed. When we had a last minute ceremony change to plan b indoors due to monsoon downpours, Lori was right there to make sure we felt at ease and happy with the indoor setup. It actually turned out more beautiful than I ever could have imagined and worked out perfectly. This was by far the easiest and BEST vendor decision we made for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with how it all played out. Thank you SO MUCH to River Road Chateau for helping to make our wedding a truly magical experience that we will never forget!

utely beautiful but it’s the two of them that make it perfect. They made a stressful day more relaxing and made this special day for my daughter an everlasting memory.

didn't know we would even need and Lori and Krysti were always one step ahead of us anticipating what we might need. I was blown away. These people have put their souls into this venue and you can feel it in every detail.

went over what to expect, and what no expect. She explained every detail thoroughly. Throughout planning, she was always quick to respond to my questions (and I had at least 1000). When it got closer to the wedding, we met our event manager (not to be confused with a wedding planner), Lori. She helped me walk through the layout and made great suggestions. On the wedding day, she was able to answer all of my questions and when I wanted something tweaked, she was able to help make it happen. I loved working with her, too! I also love that the venue is so versatile. Our wedding was a little more modern and glam but it still looked beautiful in the country setting. We went to just about every Open House that they had and managed to pick almost all of our vendors that way, and they were all fabulous, too! I would 110% recommend this venue to another bride!

ea to have a blast on the dance floor! Then you have to check them out!

ly gorgeous, and everyone at the wedding commented on how pretty it was. We honestly went to every venue in Collin County, I think, and am so happy we chose this one. Lori and Krysti were wonderful to work with, and there were no hidden fees. I would highly recommend River Road Chateau to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding venue at a great price. 5 Stars!

ould amplify our special day and we got all of that and more. Krysti was incredibly flexible with allowing me and my planning crew come by the venue when we needed. She gave us great ideas and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. The owners are wonderful. I felt that they were focused on making sure we all had a great experience. The venue is so beautiful and every time we came by, some new garden appeared or new décor was added. Here are some highlights from our wedding at RRC: • Brides Room: I loved getting ready in that room with my bridesmaids. Everyone had a mirror and was helping each other out with makeup and hair styles. • The Meadow: Strait up MAGICAL. When we were saying our vows, a family of butterflies started landing on the preacher and the arch way. It was an incredible! • Grand Hall: Plenty of space to dance and my DJ even tapped into their screen projector playing awesome music videos and we even had a slide show of old photos going. • The House on Property: Such a great asset to my wedding day! I am so glad we booked that. My family was able to get ready there and have a lovely lunch before the wedding. It was so awesome to party it up at the banquet hall and then walk across the yard to an extremely comfortable bed!

e way, it is very private. You can customize the venue, but it’s ready to go just the way it is. There are options for your ceremony and we chose to have it outdoors and then the reception inside. However, the weather had other plans. Thankfully, the team at River Road Chateau was fully prepared. Our ceremony was moved indoors and it was beautiful. Prior to the wedding the bride and groom have their own separate rooms that are set up just the way a bride would want (tons of mirrors!) and just the way the groom would want (TV with DirecTV). Both my husband and I were very happy with our wedding day, it was exactly as we expected after touring the property with Krysti from River Road Chateau. It was as stress free of a wedding as you can have. Whether you are having your first wedding or like us, a second wedding with a ton of kids, River Road Chateau will accommodate. The bottom line is, the facility and the team at River Road Chateau will make you feel like you have a team of wedding experts who have one goal, giving you the best wedding they’ve ever done. Thank you Krysti and your team for giving us a wedding that my husband, our children, our guests, and I will never forget. Sincerely, Melissa & Jonathan Harris

t me come to the venue anytime to show my family, plan for the wedding, and I also took my engagement photos there! This made me feel very special, and I loved visiting the location. Krysti is awesome! She started to feel like family. She kept us all informed throughout their renovation of the guest house next door, and all the new additions to the venue. She has done a great job! The place looked great to begin with, but with all the new additions the owners and herself added, it has made it even more beautiful! I want to go back one weekend to stay at the guest house! I fell in love with the outdoor ceremony space! All week, it was %100 chance of rain when my wedding was supposed to start, but when it came down to the day, it wasn't raining... yet! I was freaking out, and Krysti knew I wanted it outside. I was so pleased with how well she did with preparing for both scenarios, and making sure I was happy. I was able to have my wedding ceremony outside, and it was perfect! I love the vibe the place puts off. Many of our guests told us it was the most fun wedding they have ever been too- everyone had enough room to dance, and we danced all night! I love the patio's, with the twinkly lights. I love the get ready rooms, and the views of the pastures surrounding. I guess you can say, I LOVE The River Road Chateau, and thank you Krysti, Larry, and everyone who helped make my day everything I ever wanted! I can't wait to visit again, and check all the new additions out!
