From the reviews
We recently celebrated my sister's 55th birthday party at Chateau Banquets. It was my 1st time there ever. The hall was spacious. The staff decorated the tables beautifully! And, OMG! The food was Amazing! Delicious!!!!! And, their lemonade is fire! My hostess was great!
We, Arthur and Donna want to express our appreciation for the care and attention that we received for the most special day of our lives. We were so impressed with the professionalism that was displayed from the beginning of our contact to contract with you to the very end.
I’ve dealt with The Chateau numerous times, and they never disappoint. The owners are truly down-to-earth, and their team is an absolute dream to work with. The service is always smooth, the hospitality is genuine, and the food is exceptional every single time.
This is my third time at the Chateau and it gets better every time. We had a catered conference here. The facility was very clean and the food is unmatched. The staff is extremely attentive. They have completed construction and the new area is gorgeous.
Getting married at Chateau Banquets
A castle wedding is the once-in-a-lifetime, storybook kind — the grand staircase, the ballroom, the gardens and turrets your photos will live on forever. Castle weddings commonly run $10,000–$40,000+ depending on the date, guest count, and how much is included, so ask for a written quote for your season — Chateau Banquets doesn’t publish a set price, and tiers move fast. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you’d actually get married — a ballroom that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you’ll want to walk the path your guests take from the gates to the ceremony to the reception. Second, bring your real questions: what’s included with the venue fee (tables, chairs, setup, teardown), the catering and bar policy, whether you can stay overnight on-site, the rain plan for a garden ceremony, and the music curfew. Fairytale dates at castle venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what’s open in your season before you leave.
Galas & corporate events at Chateau Banquets
Reviews and the castle's own info mention galas, corporate events, or private parties at Chateau Banquets — castle venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
