From the reviews

My daughter had her wedding here last month and it was a wonderful experience. She wanted something small and this was the perfect place. Sabrina was amazing and knowledgeable. Quick to respond whenever there was a question. Everything was beautiful and I can’t wait to see the photos her husband took.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting my baby shower at the Tiny Château and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From start to finish, the staff at the Tiny Château went above and beyond to ensure that my event was a success. Firstly, the venue itself is absolutely stunning.

We were very happy with this venue and all of the services provided. Sabrina was wonderful and did all that she could to make sure that our day turned out beautifully. She stayed in contact through texts, to make sure everything went as planned.

★★★★★ — Carmen, Apr 2023

Absolutely AMAZING!! I couldn't of asked for a better day. They handled 99% of everything but little details we wanted and attire. They kept me informed, answered any questions I had, did all the work including clean up. We first met with Nicole the owner who by the way is so sweet and amazing.

Getting married at The Tiny Chateau at Downtown

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 Tiny Chateau at Downtown 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.
