    Chateau 1870 is not just a venue but a God-given ministry. From the moment we first connected with Mr. James and Mrs. Arlene, we knew our elopement was in the hands of something far greater than just a venue, it was in the care of two people who carry their work as a calling and a ministry. I’m so grateful my husband found them. He was extremely impressed by their courtesy, open communication and willingness to accommodate to ensure our needs were met. Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful, but their hearts are even more beautiful. Mrs. Arlene was the first one we had the pleasure of meeting, her warm and captivating spirit immediately stopped our search for venues and caused us to put our focus solely on Chateau 1870. They didn’t just rent us a space; they invested in our vision and went above and beyond to create a tailor-made experience that reflected who we are. Like any wedding day, there were unexpected delays and mishaps that could have dampened the moment. I will never forget calling in a panic and, before I knew it, breaking down in tears. Mr. James didn’t just reassure me, he prayed over me right then and there. That prayer reminded me I was in the hands of people who not only serve with excellence but serve with love and purpose. When all was said and done, our day came together more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. Their patience, kindness, and unwavering support transformed what could have been a stressful day into a joyful, peace-filled celebration. They anticipated needs, stepped in without hesitation, and treated us like family. If you are looking for a place that offers both breathtaking beauty and exceptional service, I cannot recommend this venue enough. You won’t just book a location you’ll gain a family who truly care about making your day one to remember. All in all our elopement dream came true and we both thank them from the bottom of our hearts for making sure we had an unforgettable experience.

  • Perfect for our wedding!

    Our wedding was this past weekend and it was perfect! We wanted a small event that still felt special and Arlene, the venue owner, made sure that we got our wish. From the ceremony to the reception, our day went off without a hitch, and we couldn't be happier to have celebrated with our small family. Thank you to the Chateau1870 team!

    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.

    Chateau1870 was the perfect hidden gem for our wedding celebration. From the very first interaction, the team was incredibly professional, accommodating, and personal in their communication style. They were flexible and hands-on throughout the planning process, always going the extra mile to ensure our vision came to life. On the day of, Arlene and James even took some lovely candid photos of the lovely couple, capturing the charming, intimate moments that contributed to making Carolyn and Taurean's wedding day so special. The quaint, historic venue provided the perfect cozy backdrop for nuptials. We couldn't have asked for a better experience - Chateau1870 is truly a gem and we highly recommend them to any couple planning their big day.
