    We had our wedding at the Chateau on the River in May and it was perfect! I expected everything to be good and it was just better than I imagined. Sam made sure we had everything we needed, answered all of my crazy questions and went above and beyond for us! Sam, Jerry and the staff at the Chateau exceeded our expectations! Hoping to host more events to come!!!

  • Fantastic!!
