“My husband and I had our wedding here at Chateau Hiddenwood. We were able to comfortably sleep our entire wedding party here, and the bed in the bridal suite was SO comfy! The house is very spacious, beautiful, and was more than accommodating for our events! The weather wasn’t quite warm enough for me to use the pool, but the hot tub was perfect to relax in and bond further with our closest friends the night before and after our wedding. The property itself is beyond beautiful! The trees, pond, and layout of the home and its outdoor space was absolutely perfect for our wedding. It was truly magical! About the staff: The entire staff that runs this venue is so sweet! They accommodated us for multiple tours before our wedding, and answered emails quickly. I want to give a special shout out to Brandi, our day of coordinator, who was extremely sweet and helpful to us leading up to our wedding! While the girls were doing our hair for the wedding, we blew a breaker in the bridal suite. Brandi was very quick to climb all the way into the attic and fix the breaker so that we could finish getting ready. She literally went above and beyond! A note about the property, for those with pets: the property is not fenced in. My two (approved) dogs decided to quickly wander into the woods in the backyard. I full sprinted into the woods after them and quickly learned that there was no fence to keep them contained. Luckily we found them, but through my spontaneous adventure through the woods, I came upon the neighbors’ properties, which some of are also unfenced and leads towards more woods. Long story short, keep your pets on a leash at all times while they are outside. Also, there were two cats that we saw wandering around outside the house. We absolutely loved their presence and they were so sweet, but I feel like is good to make note of if you have dogs that may not get along with other animals, and is even more reason to keep your pets on a leash at all times outside. Overall, our experience at Chateau Hiddenwood was perfect! The staff, property, and overall vibes were amazing, and I am extremely grateful that we found this beautiful space to celebrate our love at! To the staff: Thank y’all for everything! It was truly a blessing to host our wedding here!”
