If I could give 10 stars, I would to this venue. Michael and Pam are wonderful, kind people. I was planning my wedding from out of state and Chef Pam met with my mom and spoke to me frequently to help us with any decisions. I was able to pick out all the linens, china, food, areas, and decor with Chef Pam. She helped me find other vendors that were familiar with her setup. The venue itself was beautiful! It is sweet southern charm at its best. There is a grooms cottage, a bridal suite, and a honeymoon cottage and other cottage. Everything has so much care put into it. The day of, it rained but they already had the plan in place and let me be in the driver's seat (with invaluable input from Chef Pam). The ceremony was easily moved inside by her team and was gorgeous. Her food is EXCEPTIONAL! With Chef Pam, I did not need a full wedding coordinator - she handled so much for us. I hired a day of just for my behind the scenes stuff, but Chef Pam ran the whole thing from my perspective and made my day about my husband, me and the wedding. I could not have imagined it being any better. I also could go on for another 5 pages.

I recently got married at The Chateau of Longview, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. From the moment we booked the venue until the end of our wedding day, everything was absolutely perfect. The venue itself is stunning, and every part of the property is beautifully maintained. Our bridal party stayed in the Bridal House, Groom's House, and Honeymoon Suite, and every space was spotless, comfortable, and well cared for. You can tell the property is professionally maintained and cleaned. The staff was incredible. They were friendly, attentive, and always available whenever we had a question or needed anything. They made the entire day run so smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing. We had absolutely no issue with the venue, and our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was. We received countless compliments on the property and how smoothly the day went. As the bride, I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day. If you're looking for a gorgeous venue with a team that genuinely care about making your day special, I wholeheartedly recommend The Chateau of Longview. We will always cherish the memories we made there, and I am so grateful we chose this venue!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a relatively short engagement (about 8 months) and shopped for venues for a good while before deciding on Sunset Oaks. They try are the best for your money, so hands on and they are so transparent about their pricing and what they offer! Their decor closet is extensive! They had so much you can borrow for your big day for free and it was all actually cute/current things. The venue itself is beautiful not too rustic or modern a perfect canvas to hold your wedding day! We loved working with Coby she was so proactive and helpful and the big day went off perfectly.
