What couples say again and again
“The wedding party and bride looked stunning coming down the hill to the gazebo and the guests loved being able to be inside dancing, hanging at the bar and also on the deck.”

From the reviews
I cannot recommend this venue enough. My wife and I had the most perfect wedding day. The venue is absolutely beautiful, the food is amazing & the staff is the best. Larissa is the best there is & she helped make our day so perfect.
We had this wonderful venue for our Wedding at the end of August. The place is beautiful, it's well taken-care-of and the staff is wonderful. The staff was very attentive and detail-oriented with us, it meant so much to us to have such helpful people to plan and organize our big day.
I always love visiting this venue! The staff is incredible! They are genuinely kind, efficient, and helpful. The service is immaculate and the food is tasty. This venue has a large area at the top of the stairs for the bride to get ready, as well as an area for the groom and men to hang out downstairs.

Getting married at The Chateau at White Oak
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 — The Chateau at White Oak 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.
