After being shocked by the cost of other venues, we were ecstatic to find such a true Austin gem. Chateau Bellevue is absolutely gorgeous, a piece of Austin history and a practical downtown venue (with parking!). Mandy, Jeff, and the rest of the staff did an amazing job throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. Everything was exactly the way I had envisioned it, and everything ran extremely smooth. Our guests raved about all of the food, and many said it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten. I highly recommend Chateau Bellevue for a venue both on looks and service.

We loved Chateau Bellevue for our wedding. The stone work outside and wood work inside make for great photos, and the entire building is a beautiful setting for a wedding. All of our guests expressed how impressed they were with it. With separate spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, it's easy to transition, and there is on-site staff to do the setup and changes. They provide everything from tables and chairs to linens to dishware at an unbelievably reasonable rental cost. Mandy and the staff were accommodating to all of our requests, and everyone was helpful and knowledgeable about all things related to the place and area. It was also really nice to have an on-site coordinator. My only complaint is the cost of the food, although it was excellent, and everything that came with the rental saved on costs we would have spent to rent them, so that made up for much of the cost of food.

I was thrilled with the way everything turned out at my wedding at Chateau Bellevue. The staff was helpful, and Mandy always responded to my emails leading up to the date quickly and professionally. Also, when there was a turnover in the events manager position (Stacy was equally helpful and responsive prior to Mandy!) I didn't even see a bump in their service. It was super smooth! They were great at being flexible with my requests (lavender toss, easel for my chalkboard menu, ladder to hang glass globes in the tree, special request cheeses for the cheese table, having to do a tasting on a holiday weekend because we are from out of town). The space is really beautiful, and flows so easily from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. It's a beautiful backdrop for photos. All of my guests raved about the food. I even got to eat some of it myself since they allowed us to do private dining upstairs! And they definitely took our requests on food preparation (rare salmon) and applied it. The... Read more space is the most cost effective I could find in downtown Austin, and beautiful to boot. My only (tiny) complaint is that they book up so early! I called on a Wednesday in February, more than 14 months out from my date, and confirmed the availability of the date I wanted the following March. By the time we came to our tour that Saturday, the place was booked through Easter weekend! I had to wait a nail-biting 48 hours to find out if another bride didn't pay her deposit, and fortunately ended up with my date. If you want this place, you had better start early. And it's worth it!

Chateau Bellevue provided a fantastic wedding experience in a beautiful old Texas mansion in downtown Austin. The head chef, Jeff, provided a superb selection of food beyond your typical wedding offerings. The ability to bring your own liquor can help keep costs down, and the staff is very flexible in helping to make your wedding as great as ours was.

Mandy and the entire Chateau Bellevue staff was wonderful. They were always very responsive and incredibly helpful. I must have called 8 different times to ask about table sizes for the linens I rented and Mandy was always quick to get back to me with measurements. Also, the food was outstanding. It was truly the best wedding food I have ever had - everything was delicious. I would especially recommend the prime rib or the chicken for your entree. Amazing! Just be sure to book far out as this place books up quickly. It is also a great value for the location - in the heart of downtown Austin. Our reception ended fairly early (10 pm), so it was nice that some of the younger guests had the option to walk a block over to West 6th. There are also a number of hotels nearby. So glad we had our wedding at Chateau Bellevue - it was truly a wonderful experience. It is a beautiful setting and I would highly recommend for any Austin bride.

From the moment we stepped on the grounds of the Chateau we were in love. Texas is filled with the "ranch style/country wedding venues", and we were looking for something classic and elegant. Chateau is it. With its beautiful vintage decoration, the pictures came out stunning without needing extra touch ups or backdrops/lighting. The staff was extremely prompt/organized and especially professional. The coordinator Mandy was amazing before, during, and after our wedding, being very responsive with any phone calls and emails and was always happy to answer any, and I mean MANY questions that I had along the way. The only down fall of the venue was that they get you with the in house catering. Although the food was delicious, they have a minimum food cost you have to meet and the food is on the higher dollar value end. I thought I was getting a great deal on the cost of the venue rental, but the cost came later when we realized what it would cost to feed 100+ people. Keep in mind they char... Read morege you a 19% service cost on top of all food, so put that in your budget if you go with this vendor (I forgot, and it was over $1000 in taxes and fees). Otherwise the experience itself was amazing and I would certainly get married here 10000x over again!

Chateau Bellevue hosted our wedding ceremony and reception in early March of 2014. We were extremely happy with the pre-wedding communication, flexibility, helpfulness, and knowledge of Mandy, the events coordinator, and Jeff, the head Chef. Although our ceremony was supposed to be held outside in their lovely courtyard, Texas weather kicked in the morning of, the temperature dropped 30 degrees and it started raining in a matter of hours. Mandy and her team moved the ceremony inside, rearranged everything, and the whole night was flawless (the guests never knew it was to be held outdoors). Let me tell you about the food... the appetizers are delicious and the dinner was remarkable. I am a foodie, I grew up helping my mother cater weddings, and I cook the dinners at home, so I appreciate a great meal, and even more a great meal served plated with a variety of food choices, and all allergies accommodated. Jeff, the head Chef, and his team are skilled, hard working, and friendly as he... Read moreck. The historic beauty of the venue, 80 parking spots for your guests, the proximity to some great after party bars, the quality of food and service, and the reasonable fees make Chateau Bellevue an immense value. Our guests had an amazing time and my bride and I are greatful to the staff at Chateau Bellevue for making it all happen.

The Chateau Bellevue is gorgeous and the staff are excellent. We began planning during the turnover and Mandy was immediately there to answer any questions. She is fantastic! She worked with us on our budget and found prices/packages that fit. The weather in November turned out perfect and we were able to have our ceremony in the romantic Courtyard. The reception was located in the Chateau Ballroom with more than enough room for our guests, 10 piece band and a huge dance floor. The decor is stunning. We used both their banquet chairs and table cloths. With the perfect lighting you can really get the chairs to match any color pallet beautifully. The food at the reception was a highlight. I've never heard such high praises for not only "wedding food" but dinner in general. We had passed hors d'oeuvres with a buffet dinner. Jeff and his team are unbelievable and every guests ask that we give complements to the Chef! Chateau Bellevue is quite simply perfect. Oh, and did I mention you ... Read morereceive 80 parking spaces for your guests? Downtown. Complimentary. Your guests will thank you!

I absolutely loved having my wedding at Chateau Bellevue. Mandy was such a pleasure to work with and was able to accommodate special requests. Everyone at my wedding raved about the food and said it was the best wedding food they had ever had. It is a beautiful venue with classic charm in a great location. I would highly recommend this venue overall.

We used Chateau Bellevue as our reception site and were so, so happy we did! The food was absolutely delicious, the location was perfect, lots of characters, warm and romantic, wonderful staff and its byob! It really was everything we wanted! Mandy, the events manager, was so sweet and so great to work with too! She was super responsive to any and all questions via phone or email. On the day of everything went very smoothly, and all of the staff did a fantastic job of serving and accommodating all of our guests. Everyone was so impressed! Mandy even brought us plates of appetizers and dinner so we could be sure to enjoy all the delicious food! We could not be happier with our reception choice!!

An absolutely beautiful venue and, hands down, the best wedding food I've EVER had! Stacy was so helpful and kind and all of my guests were thoroughly impressed.

We loved having our wedding at the Chateau Bellevue. The place was beautiful. The staff (everyone loved the bartender), especially Stacey, was very helpful and quick to respond to every request. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the food - it was amazing. Two things disappointed us, though - the parking was poorly managed. SXSW attendees parked at the Chateau and created a hassle for our guests and wedding party. Also, the lack of extra electrical sockets meant that the magnolia tree where we got married was not lit up. It made for some pretty dark pictures. We would highly recommend the Chateau to everyone - beautiful venue, excellent location, great staff, and spectacular food. We applaud the great job they did.

My wedding was gorgeous! The venue is stunning - especially at night. The photography options are so abundant with all the gorgeous architecture and old world charm. Jeff and Stacy are wonderful to work with. Everything that Jeff makes in the kitchen is gourmet and delicious! Stacy totally gets wedding planning and is so helpful. You will not be disappointed if you select the Chateau Bellevue for for your wedding celebration!

Our wedding at Chateau Bellevue was EXACTLY what I wanted it to be. I am not the world's best planner, and I was completely overwhelmed by everything that a wedding includes, but Stacy was amazing. She was so responsive and helpful with everything-- and I do mean everything! At one point she was emailing me suggestions for table runners! I also must say that the food was delicious. I was worried that the food was going to be good at the tasting, but when it came to mass prep on the day of, I thought the taste may suffer... I was completely wrong. I can't believe how many of our guests later told us how much they truly enjoyed the food. Overall, I was so impressed with the way that everything at Chateau Bellevue was handled, and I would recommend it to anyone!
