From the reviews
Did my 33rd birthday at this Amazing event space and Air B &B . Owner was very professional and communication was exceptional! The space is absolutely beautiful 8 bedrooms with a game room kitchen and plenty of areas to relax and chill. If you’re looking for a quiet get away this is the place to be .
I had a fantastic experience at the French Chateau of Odessa and Event Center. From Shereve, the most gracious host, to the fabulous facility and amazing accommodations at the Airbnb, I could not have been happier with the outcome.
I have attended a few events here, and the manager AnnMarie is delightful. If you’re lucky, you will also meet the owner Shreeve. The grounds are beautiful, the gardens are stunning. This is a great venue for a small wedding or a small party.
Great place to host any type of event (birthdays, weddings, family reunions, etc.). Very clean, quiet and lots of yard space for outdoor activities (volleyball, croquette, bounce house, etc). A beautiful place, nicely decorated. My personal favorite is the swing under the tree.
Getting married at The French Chateau of Odessa Extended Stay Vacation Homes and Rentals
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 French Chateau of Odessa Extended Stay Vacation Homes and Rentals 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 The French Chateau of Odessa Extended Stay Vacation Homes and Rentals
Reviews and the castle's own info mention galas, corporate events, or private parties at The French Chateau of Odessa Extended Stay Vacation Homes and Rentals — 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.
