This venue for a wedding is perfection. Our wedding surpassed all of our highest expectations. Cynthia, the owner, will make all your dreams come true. We had our rehearsal dinner the first night and the way Cynthia decorated it was amazing. The dinner was delicious. The next day we had a breakfast buffet that was delicious too. Our ceremony was wonderful outside, cocktail reception was great and the dinning room and dinner - perfection. All her vendors from the photographer, videographer, chef, hair, makeup - everyone was super professional and kind. Don't look any further than here.

Through hours of endless searching we came across several different chateaus that offered wedding packages. None of them compared to what we found at Chateau de Challain. Cynthia was very quick to respond to our inquiry emails and was even so kind as to help us with pricing and package options.

If you are seeking the ultimate storybook venue and wedding, Chateau Challain and Cynthia Nicholson will not disappoint. The castle and grounds are real-life representations of fairytale settings, unmatched anywhere else in the world. The castle itself is a Neo-Gothic masterpiece with many incredible architectural features, and all suites and state rooms are well appointed with high-end antiques and modern amenities. Even your guests will count their time at the Chateau as once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The grounds have a lake, many well-manicured gardens and stone bridges, all great for photograph opportunities and adding to the French castle mystique.

We want to start by saying that our experience with Cynthia Nicholson from the first moment we contacted her to this date has been nothing but exceptional. Cynthia truly made our dreams come true. The ultimate definition of a "Fairytale Fantasy Wedding". Chateau Challain is a memory that will forever be talked about amongst our family and friends. Our wedding was truly magical, filled with love, joy and out of this world beautiful. It was as if it was out of a storybook.

Absolutely, 100%, the most unforgettable & memorable trip of a lifetime. During the first week, we stayed at Chateau Challain to celebrate Sherri & Kenneth Fontaine's wedding. Each day leading up to, and after the wedding was filled with activities including a bike ride to a vineyard for lunch, horseback riding, archery, visits to Mont St. Michel (where I got to dip my feet in the English Channel) & St Malo, dinner in a vineyard complete with a 5-star Michelin chef, a hog roast, drinking Veuve Clicqout at any and all opportune times and partying 'till dawn. Each of these were done with elegance, luxury & the utmost sophistication. The food was rich, plentiful & absolutely delicious.

We had our dream wedding here last week and everything was absolutely wonderful! The chateau is truly the most beautiful venue with so much character, the interior is impeccably furnished with amazing unique pieces and the grounds are also beautifully designed and maintained. We had a very small elopement style wedding (just us and our parents attending) and the staff were incredibly attentive and helpful, we felt like royalty the entire time!
