    Listen up, y'all this is a gem!

    From our first conversation with Chateau Amelia, we knew we'd found our venue. The coordinators and staff were simply wonderful to work with. They kept things casual yet elegant, making the whole planning process feel straightforward. Their decor choices were spot-on, and they stayed organized every step of the way. The enchanted forest ceremony area was absolutely stunning, and the intimate vibe of the space made our day feel personal. Best of all, the quality and beauty we got didn't break the bank. We can't recommend Chateau Amelia enough to couples looking for an affordable venue that doesn't compromise on gorgeous details.

    Magical, Stunning and Just Perfect!

    Chateau Amelia is a boutique-style hidden gem in South Carolina full of that good-ole Southern charm! First off, the property is beautifully maintained and full of details that just exude luxury. It's just so romantic. Not only is it beautiful, but it was also affordable. In the 2,XXX range for the day rental that we opted for. Angela and her team go above and beyond to make everything seamless. Amazing communication that was always clear and full of warmth. Cannot imagine a more perfect place to get married!

    A Fairytale Wedding At Chateau Amelia!

    We found Chateau Amelia while searching for intimate venues on zola, and from the first glance, we were in love. The photos were beautiful, but nothing compares to experiencing it in person! It's truly a hidden gem that possibly people are missing out on. It is elegant, stunning and full of that Southern charm to die for. We were planning a smaller wedding (around 75 guests) and this venue was perfect. It felt cozy yet spacious, and we loved that we could stay overnight since they have on site lodging. We were able to turn our celebration into a full weekend experience with our closest family and friends. Working with the team at Chateau Amelia was so easy. They were responsive, flexible and made us feel taken care of throughout the entire process. We did hire their in-house coordinating team and they took care of creating our wedding day timeline down to every last minute and second. They were creative and helpful at giving us ideas to maximize our time in their venue. If you are considering this venue, you have to book a tour to see it in person for yourself. You'll fall in love just like we did. We had the wedding of our dreams and sure you would too.

One of the unique features of Chateau Amelia is its beautiful outdoor garden, which is perfect for outdoor ceremonies or cocktail receptions. The vintage mini mansion is truly one of the best in class of beauty and preservation. The circa 1905 Victorian structure is a breathtaking gem, while the events barn is styled in modern glam with just a twist of rustic. Behind the barn sits a cocktail patio and forest backdrop ceremony site. It is this unique blend of old charm and modern beauty set on almost 4 acres of manicured grounds set within the magical forest.that makes for a winning combination.
20% deposit at booking and a payment plan for the remaining balance (usually monthly installments)
