“Our wedding at Chandelier Oaks was absolutely breathtaking! From the moment we arrived, everything was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. The stunning décor, beautiful buildings, and gorgeous grounds made the entire venue feel like something out of a dream. Every little detail made our special day feel truly magical. Even though Mother Nature decided to send some rain our way, it honestly didn’t take away from the beauty or the joy of our day. If anything, it made the memories even more special. Mrs. Felia and Mr. Rob at Chandelier Oaks provided the most beautiful backdrop for our wedding, but what they gave us went far beyond a beautiful venue. They truly made us feel cared for and celebrated. Mrs. Felia knew how much our family loves Disney and went above and beyond by creating a breathtaking, hand-painted stained-glass backdrop especially for our bride and groom. It was such a beautiful and personal surprise. She is truly one talented lady!!! Our family and friends were absolutely speechless when they learned that it was all made by hand. It was one of those incredibly special details that we will never forget. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful place for our bride and groom to begin this next chapter of their lives. The atmosphere, the grounds, the attention to detail, and the genuine care shown by the owners made our wedding truly unforgettable. We will cherish the memories we made at Chandelier Oaks for the rest of our lives. If you are looking for a wedding venue that is elegant, romantic, beautiful, and truly special—and owners who genuinely care about their brides and grooms and go above and beyond to make their day unforgettable—Chandelier Oaks is the place! We are beyond grateful that we chose this beautiful venue for our wedding day. Our hearts will always hold a special place for Chandelier Oaks!”
