Take the first step in planning your event by touring The Southern Chateau. While a tour isn’t necessary, it is recommended so that you know if our venue will be a great fit for you, your event and your guests. A tour will allow you to see our venue in person and all that we have to offer. You’ll get to view fun things like our Event Hall, the Bridal Suite, Groom’s Lounge, as well as our prep kitchen and our restrooms. Touring The Southern Chateau will not only give you an opportunity to ask questions and get answers, but you’ll also receive information that will help guide you in your event planning journey. Tours last approximately one hour.
You can "Save the Date" by filling out the form on our "Book" page, or contact us. Once we have verified that your requested date is available, we will schedule a booking consultation to go over the package that you have selected and answer any questions you may have. At this time you will have the option to add any extras or upgrades to your package. We will then review and sign your contract. You’ll receive a packet of information on preferred vendors, decor, dates to remember and so much more. A 25% security deposit is due at this time. This deposit is nonrefundable and will hold your reservation. The security deposit will also be credited toward your total amount due as your first payment. The Booking consultation will last approximately one hour.
We will schedule a Design Consultation approximately 45 days prior to your big day. At this consultation we will review your floor plan, seating, pick out decor and go over all of the tiny details that will make your day a success. Plan 90 minutes for your Design Consultation. Also 45 days prior to your event, your next payment of 25% is due. This will bring your total amount paid to 50%.
An invoice with the remaining amount due will be emailed to you 15 days prior to your event. The amount due must be paid 10 days before your event. Once the remaining amount owed has been paid, you're all set to host your event!
The day you have been anticipating is finally here! The Southern Chateau will be dressed to the nines with a host or hostess awaiting your arrival. Your host/hostess will remain onsite throughout your reservation should you need any assistance. Remember to arrive no sooner and leave no later than your reservation time. Enjoy your date at The Southern Chateau!
