From the reviews

Le Chateau is a wonderful place to photograph a wedding, with bright getting ready rooms, beautiful staircases, terraces and a timeless ballroom that all work perfectly for portraits and candid moments. As a photographer, it feels organized and relaxed there, with great indoor options if the weather shifts.

I had my Wedding Ceremony and reception at Le Chateau in March of 2023, and it exceeded my every expectation and more. For starters, Sarah met with my husband and I right away at the venue to give us an in-depth tour of the space, review day of details, and available menus.

★★★★★ — Alyssa, Nov 2023

My daughter just had her wedding at Le Chateau. To say it was a beautiful, impeccable wedding is an understatement. We’ve received rave reviews from our guests saying everything from it was the most elegant wedding to praising the food and service. The venue and staff was way beyond our expectations.

★★★★★ — Cac, May 2025

Our wedding at Le Chateau was even better than we could have imagined. From our first meeting with Sarah to the months leading up with Tori, and everyone on the day of especially Debbie and Claudia, this was a top notch team.

★★★★★ — Josephine, May 2024

Getting married at Le Chateau

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 — Le Chateau 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 Le Chateau

Reviews and the castle's own info mention galas, corporate events, or private parties at Le Chateau — 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.
