The Corry house was truly the perfect venue for our big day! The girls that run it are really kind and so great at what they do. The property is stunning and so well taken care of. I had so many people tell me how beautiful it was. All the houses and cabins are really nice on the inside and all have comfortable beds. On of my favorite things about it was that we were able to have the whole property to ourselves for the whole weekend. That made things extremely convenient in a lot of ways but also ment we were able to spend a lot of down time with the people we loved most all in the same place! All in all we were extremely happy with the Corry House and would absolutely recommend!

My daughter’s wedding at Chateau1870 was absolutely beautiful. As someone who had never planned a wedding before, I was overwhelmed at first — but the owners went above and beyond to guide me through every step of the process. Their support was genuine, consistent, and incredibly thoughtful. From the moment we started planning, it felt like they were just as invested in the day as we were. They weren’t just offering a venue — they were offering heartfelt support. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made it feel like they were planning the wedding for their own daughter. That’s how much they truly cared. The venue itself is stunning, whether you’re envisioning an elegant outdoor ceremony or a cozy, intimate indoor celebration. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting — or more authentic, kind-hearted people to work with. I would highly recommend Chateau1870 to anyone planning a wedding. You’ll not only get a beautiful space but a team that’s fully committed to making your special day unforgettable.
