From the reviews
Just left a friend's wedding. The castle is very unique. It's in severe disrepair but it still a very beautiful venue for a wedding. A little over priced though but the wedding was very nice!
Bob and Bonnie are absolutely amazing!! I whole heartedly honestly could not of wanted a better venue or hosts, it by far succeeded all of my expectations for my wedding, don’t hesitate, just book your wedding or event and I promise you will not regret it!
Beautiful castle and suites. Wish this had been around when I got married. It would be a beautiful wedding venue! Loved touring the beautiful property and learning about all the history and how it was built.
The fact that place this even exists in the middle of America is a testament to the owners and creators who sacrificed to build this work of art! Like many gems you only find on side road adventures it's far enough off the beaten path to make it worthy of a quest to experience it!
Getting married at Chateau Charmant
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 Charmant 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 Charmant
Reviews and the castle's own info mention galas, corporate events, or private parties at Chateau Charmant — 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.
