If you want the perfect fairytale wedding, this is it! There is nothing else like it in the US. There simply isn't something better. From the impeccable service team, to the amazing food you will be wowed from the moment you enter the Pleasantdale Chateau. This place is the stuff of dreams, and I can't wait to one day visit again!

“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…” I sing this song as I drive down Chestnut Street to Red Bank Catholic High School. I have been doing this with my daughter for three years now. “You have everything?” I ask as she reaches for the car door handle. “Uh huh,” she answers. She leans over and gives me a peck on the cheek. “Have a great day, Princess; make a difference!” I tell her and she is out the door. She is already going through the door by the time I can give her one of our little waves one last time. She is a junior now and this will be the last year I will drive her to school first thing in the morning. I think about that as she enters the school. “We have been doing this for years, Princess,” I tell myself while other cars and buses pull in. “Just you and I in the car on the way to school in the morning.” The old gray Volvo station wagon, the singing of chestnuts roasting, the hurried pecks on the cheek, the little waves. I rea... Read morelize that after this June, I will not be dropping you off at school and praying as you walk from the car. “Watch over her Lord. Keep her safe.” The same prayer I have prayed on thousands of mornings. When did you grow up? When did I start calling you Princess? That was years ago on the day that you were born and I held you in my arms and said, “Welcome, Princess.” It was also then that I began continuously thinking about all the milestones that you will experience in your life, in particular, your wedding day. I would think, “Would it be fit for a princess…a Disney princess?” That was my dream for you, a royal, fairytale wedding. My concern was could I make this a reality? Is there even such a place that could make this dream come true? I remember and think about these concerns and this dream as I am driving down Eagle Rock Avenue on a bright April morning in 2017. My daughter, now 30, is engaged to be married. We are yet again, visiting another possible venue. It was our eighth, I think. I lost track. All in the effort of achieving the dream. At this point, we have looked in all of New Jersey and even New York City and nothing had yet been able to inspire the vision, the dream, or us. As I drove through the beautiful gatehouse entrance at 757 Eagle Rock Avenue, I immediately became excited. This only intensified as I drove down the magnificent winding, scenic road of trees, bridges and lake property. I thought I was entering a royal castle. Then we pulled around the corner and were awe-inspired by the beautiful flower garden on our left and the magnificent estate on our right; an estate that I would call from that point onward, “The Castle.” I would come to love both. It was absolutely stunning. I looked at my pretty wife of 32 years and said, “Could this be the place?” And as beautiful as the grounds and the exterior of the Pleasantdale Chateau are, we had not yet experienced the best of it. We then walked into Pleasantdale for the first time to meet Mr. Fred Fogg, the Director of Pleasantdale. Let me first tell you, I wish everyone could experience walking into Pleasantdale Chateau for the first time. It was such an incredible awe-inspiring experience filled with so much character, beauty and fascination. It is a vision that I will never forget. Mr. Fogg took us on an amazing, very detailed tour of this simply breathtaking estate that lasted over an hour. He was incredibly patient in answering all of our questions and addressing our concerns. He did not know it at that point, but I had fallen head over heels in love with the property and the estate (AKA, “The Castle”) the moment I entered the exquisite entrance hall, and it had grown steadily throughout the tour. It had everything we had dreamed of for my daughter’s wedding. The best part? We still had not experienced the best of it yet. While Fred exemplified the utmost professionalism, knowledge and business acumen, I assure you it never once interrupted his genuine care for my daughter, her experience as a bride, and the integrity of the event and Pleasantdale Chateau. It was clear from the start that he and his team’s goal was to ensure the whole wedding process was unforgettable for my daughter, with a distinction that only Pleasantdale Chateau could provide. That is exactly what they did for the whole 18 months of her engagement. When Fred Fogg, Pleasantdale Chateau, and I came to terms and agreement and we booked it as our choice for the venue, both parties had responsibilities that we agreed to. Mine, of course, were financial, which were honored. Fred Fogg and team were to provide an absolutely incredible wedding for my daughter; one she would never forget. Fred Fogg and his team not only honored this, but they went multiple levels above and beyond to make my daughter’s wedding the fairytale wedding she always wanted and I could never have paid enough for this. It was priceless. The Chefs and the food at Pleasantdale Chateau are the crème-de-la-crème of venues and Michelin restaurants. It rivals any quality restaurant in this country but has a more upscale, decidedly genteel, atmosphere, reminiscent of an exclusive private dignitary event. Everything Pleasantdale Chateau offers says "quality," from the incredible Hospitality hour, the undisputed, fabulous, best cocktail hour imaginable, the finely planned dinner, the beautifully unique and unbelievable dessert offering, and the fine service. The foods are just amazing. As a cocktail hour, the herb crusted rack of lamb is perfection. The Roasted suckling pig is heavenly. The Sushi and Lobster stations are as good as they get. The Pasta stations and the Fresh Mozzarella station are to die for, and the Seafood station on ice will simply blow you away. As main courses, the Filet Mignon is one of the most delicious pieces of beef I've ever tasted. The side orders, such as Gruyere and Garlic Dauphinoise potatoes or Potato Gnocci with Pea Tendrils, are also excellent. And the wine list is exceptional. Just when you think you can't eat any more, Pleasantdale offers a range of special desserts, including unique twists on many that would make a French pastry chef swoon. This is the "real deal." It's truly worth saving up for. So, if you have not guessed by now, the real genuine secret at Pleasantdale Chateau, while it has awe-inspiring beauty, opulence, grandeur, and simply incredible food, it is the people that make this venue truly remarkable; it is the people at Pleasantdale that make all of the difference. The incredible chefs and staff that see to you and your guests’ every whim. And it all starts and ends with the Director of Operations and Head Maître D, Santiago Sevilla. I am here to tell you, personally, that not only is he the best wedding director, but he is also an incredible person. My family was so blessed to have him as a part of and leading this special event in our lives. As Elvis Presley was born to sing, Santiago was born to provide couples the grandest wedding experience one could provide. His commitment to the couple, the families, and most importantly, the guests, is incomparable, unparalleled and indescribable. The only way to truly comprehend this dedication is to actually experience it. Therefore, if your daughter or your son is getting married, I recommend you visit Pleasantdale Chateau and have the experience of a lifetime. The experience Fred, Santiago and the full staff at Pleasantdale Chateau burned into my family memory will last forever and there is no cost that could match that. Thank you Fred, Santiago, Dawn, Christine, Rich, Camilla, Aaliyah, Lesly, the incredible chefs, and the whole gang for making my dream and my daughter’s fairytale wedding come true, as only Pleasantdale Chateau can do. All the best, Peter Chacanias

Direct copy of the thank you email we sent Pleasantdale...enjoy. Words can't truly express how thankful and grateful we are for all of you helping make our wedding weekend everything we dreamed of and more. From the momentous day of saying "yes" to PDC with Fred, to the barrage of email questions and requests from Laura and me over the 18 months, to the Finals meeting with Fred and Santiago, to the drop-off appointment with Dawn and Marta, to the actual wedding...it was all so perfect. To make this email easier to read, I'm going chronologically ;) Venue We probably heard this about 50 times from our friends and family..."Oh my god, as we drove down the driveway looking for the place, and made the turn to the front, our jaws dropped when we saw the grounds and chateau for the first time. It was one of the most beautiful venues we've ever been to." We tend to agree :) The weather was extremely cooperative and the day could not have been better for the ceremony to our pictures. I... Read moret was the perfect setting for our fairytale. Pre-Wedding Saturday went off so smoothly. The game room was 10x better than I remember and Laura said that the balcony and entire bridal suite was amazing as she and her bridesmaids got ready. Camila and Vee were the undercover MVP's of the day. As I told Santiago, he's got a special one in Vee. The hospitality and service that she showed throughout the day was incredible. There was one time while we were in the middle of the dance floor and I was about to say to Laura "I think your bustle fell out and it's dragging." I swear to you, before I could open my mouth, I see Vee, on the floor on her knees, pinning Laura's dress up. I couldn't believe it! She was absolutely amazing and we so enjoyed getting to know her. Wedding Starting with the rehearsal, we had numerous bridesmaids and groomsmen ask us, "Is Santiago a comedian on the side?" For something that can be confusing with bad directions and boring, our rehearsal was fun, hilarious, and only got everyone more excited about the actual ceremony. After the ceremony, Laura and I walked back up the aisle and saw Santiago dancing at the top of the steps, so of course we danced right back. Then, he led us to see the amazing Cinderella castle in the cocktail hall and upstairs we went to bustle Laura's dress. The setup of cocktail hour food was incredible and we have not heard the end of it from our guests! Here are some more of our memories and little details that the team executed to perfection: Santiago orchestrating the longest hora ever like a boss with the chairs and PDC staff helping life them up! Vee asking us before our entrance what we wanted for dinner, Laura said "some sushi from cocktail hour" and Santiago literally brings out a sushi boat for the sweetheart table. Our jaws dropped and I honestly started laughing at how amazing this was (went a looong way with family and wedding party). Vee and Camila appearing by our sides with waterbottles throughout the reception to keep us hydrated Vee and Camila bringing us up to our suite at the end of the reception to drop off the envelopes and surprising us with a wild dessert spread with our hashtag and a bottle of Veuve with several mini water bottles. We were blown away! The staff working the afterparty was unreal! We knew it was going to be fun, but it truly exceeded our expectations. I had a feeling we were going to party past 2am, and at that time, I sent my brother to the bar and the staff left out some beer and tequila which kept the party going. Amazing. The overall organization of the weekend and knowing where everything was (bouquets, top of the cake, etc). Thank you so much to the entire PDC team for being such an integral part of our wedding...we will never forget it.

We got married at Pleasantdale Chateau in August. Let me start by saying “wow”! From the beginning of our search, we knew this was going to be great, because everywhere I looked, I could only find/hear good things about this place (even from people that work for other venues), so we had really high expectations. From the first meeting with Fred to the very end (the morning after our wedding), Pleasantdale Chateau exceeded our expectations in every aspect. Thank you, Fred, Santiago and everyone else who made our day perfect! The place was gorgeous (we went for our tour in the winter, it was really nice, but when we went back close to the wedding date, it was absolutely stunning!); service was amazing, and the food, omg, was insane in terms of both quantity and quality (guests were definitely wow-ed, many of them said it’s the best they’ve ever had, which we were very glad to hear, because food was the most important factor to us when picking our venue). My only regret was, we... Read more did not get to enjoy a lot of the amazing food (too busy and excited), I wish we had asked for a to-go box for later that night or even the next day. Anyway, if it is in your budget, look no further, you’re getting the best of the best!

My husband and I got married a month ago (8/24/19) at Pleasantdale Chateau and it was like a fairy tale. We had the time of our lives and the venue is magical. Fred Fogg and Santiago really do everything in their power to make sure you have the most beautiful and stress free wedding day. From the day we booked our wedding date, everything was PERFECT. Everyone was quick to respond to questions and emails. Their attention to detail is impeccable. The service we received was out of this world. The whole event ran like a well-oiled machine. The food was outstanding and over the top (in a good way), the venue is insanely gorgeous, and the hospitality cannot be beaten. Our guests had a fabulous time and still can't stop talking about how amazing everything was from the elaborate cocktail hour to the beautiful grounds to the spectacular ballroom. Our ceremony was outside and it was magnificent. The after party was a perfect way to end a night that we wanted to last forever. Our farewell brun... Read morech was also phenomenal. The 30 on-sight rooms are to die for and really make your guests feel like they're on a vacation rather than at a wedding. Fred and his team truly do everything in their power to make your day magnificent and it was much appreciated. We wish we could relive our wedding every weekend! We can't wait to return to Pleasantdale for the Deja vu event in the winter and hopefully for another wedding in the near future. You CANNOT go wrong with this venue, I promise you.

Words can’t describe how magical our wedding day was at the Pleasantdale Chateau. From the moment you drive onto the grounds, you are taken back by all the beauty around you. The day my husband and I went to go look at the Pleasantdale, we met with Fred. He was so friendly from the start, wanting to get to know you as a couple. Also, you could tell how passionate he is about his job and wanting to make you the most happy bride and groom. He takes his time to show you the whole Chateau and the grounds, answering any questions you need. He is quick to answer any emails or phone calls anytime of the day. There is no question that you should hesitate to ask because Fred will do anything to make sure you get things the things you envision on your wedding. One example is, my husband and I got married on the 4th of July and I wanted the desserts to have be American themed and he made it happen! During our planning meeting a month before our wedding we met Santiago, the Maitre’d. Right... Read more off the bat he makes you feel like you are his best friend! During the meeting he got to know us and our love for our dogs. He made sure that our dogs could be apart of our day. Santiago makes everything effortless. You have nothing to worry about with the day being in his hands. He loves what he does and will make sure everything goes smoothly. On our wedding day, he was right there whenever you needed something (even when you didn’t even realize you needed something). We wish he could have been an official guest at our wedding, that is how much we got along and enjoyed his company! The rest of the staff such as Dawn and the bridal attendants were awesome from the start. The service is top of the line. The food is incredible and the atmosphere is breathtaking. Our friends and family won’t stop talking about the wonderful experience they had being a wedding guest. Even some of our older guests who have been to more weddings than they can count said it was the best wedding they have attended. The Pleasantdale staff makes you feel like family. Having a wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateau is a dream come true!

We just had our wedding at Pleasantdale Chateau and it was one of the best days of our lives. My husband and I live in NYC and when we were looking at wedding venues, we specifically wanted a place that was highly unique, with beautiful grounds and outdoor charm. We visited a total of 21 venues in New Jersey and Long Island and we fell in love with Pleasantdale Chateau on our first visit. The venue is so gorgeous, with the outdoor areas that include the little creek and bridge. The inside is even more beautiful, with each room having its own unique vibe and charm. I especially loved the greenhouse, music room, blue room, and the ballroom. The only thing that's more amazing than the venue itself is the staff that works so hard to make the Pleasantdale experience a spectacular one. When it comes to weddings and wedding planning, it's the little details that really count and Pleasantdale really gets things right. The staff members went above and beyond to accommodate all our requests a... Read morend answer all our questions in a timely manner. Every person we interacted with was the consummate professional - knowledgeable, kind, patient, and sincere. To Fred, Santiago, Dawn, Marta, Christine, Camila, Leslie, and many others, you are all amazing and we can't thank you enough for making our big day so special and wonderful. In addition to the Pleasantdale staff, the preferred vendors we worked with were just as wonderful! We used Pleasantdale's preferred photographer, videographer, DJ and musician, florist, lighting designer, and transportation vendor and everyone was so professional and kind. They are true experts in their fields and complement Pleasantdale so well. Pleasantdale has truly assembled an amazing team of preferred vendors and this goes to show how much they care about the overall holistic experience for its couples. In terms of the actual wedding experience, our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how amazing the food was. The cocktail hour was insane and people were blown away by how much food there was and how everything tasted so delicious. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever attended and the best food they had ever had at a wedding. It was worth every penny we paid and I would recommend this venue a million times and more to couples looking to get married. Pleasantdale has set the bar so high in terms of weddings, for us and our guests. We are so appreciative for everything you've done for us. Thank you so much!!!

My husband and I had our wedding at Pleasantdale a few weeks ago. The calls from our guests have been endless. The food was phenomenal and the service was impeccable. My husband and I had our eyes set on a different venue when we were deciding where to get married, but were supposed to have our appointment the day after visiting Pleasantdale. We never made it there. When we walked into Pleasantdale it just took our breath away. We knew it was our place. Every room has a different feel and style to it, and combined, the chateau is just exquisite. It was exactly the vibe we were looking for and struggled to find elsewhere. Fred was fantastic, accommodating, a true professional. Everything we asked for he made happen. He genuinely wanted to make us the happiest bride and groom. Working with Pleasantdale was seamless. Fred advised us on vendors, menu selection, and all the little details along the way. He was always available and eager to help in any way possible. Last... Read more, but not least, Santiago. Oh my, there are not enough words to describe this literal angel. Santiago is the true star of Pleasantdale. When we first met at our menu meeting I knew I was going to love this man. He was on top of EVERYTHING and even though we had a planner, he was invaluable. On the day of the wedding he made everything seamless, and every time I turned my head he was by my side to help with anything and everything. What I'm most grateful for is how he helped with my elderly grandparents. He was there to assist them and ensured that we didn't have to stress about them. Santiago, you are a rare gem. Lastly, I should mention the access you are given to the Chateau. My close family members and friends spent the night with us at the beautiful Chateau and had a delicious breakfast there the next morning. It just kept the wonderful experience going and is not something you get with every venue. All in all, I can't imagine that there is another wedding venue that compares to Pleasantdale. The food (so much food), the service, the ambiance, the attentiveness is simply unparalleled. Honestly, all of our wedding dreams came true here. PS - We are still getting calls from all our friends and family about the truffle mac and cheese from the mac and cheese station at the afterparty!

To say our wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateau was a fairytale is an understatement. We had read many raving reviews beforehand, so our expectations were extremely high, but somehow they still managed to completely exceed our expectations. We visited nearly a dozen places first (even Manhattan’s finest venues) but once we stepped foot on the grounds of the Pleasantdale Chateau my fiance and I looked at each other, and we both knew this was the place for us. The grounds, the decor, the architecture, and the character are all equally beautiful, intricate, and impeccable. There simply is no other place like the Pleasantdale. Many other venues felt impersonal, run of the mill, and cookie cutter, but here, they cater and personalize the wedding JUST FOR YOU! Our families are very old school Italian, so we had very specific food requests and high expectations on taste and presentation, and the Pleasantdale “italianized” our wedding to meet our high Italian food standards. As amazin... Read moreg as the venue, the grounds and the food were, we both agreed that wasn't even the best part about selecting the Pleasantdale Chateau... it’s the staff. The staff goes absolutely above and beyond to make sure the weeks leading up to your wedding and the actual day are as completely stress free as possible. People thought we had a wedding planner, but we just had the Pleasantdale staff to thank :) Fred pushed the standards to ensuring our cocktail hour, dinner menu, and after party food were top notch and unlike any other wedding. Santiago made sure the day ran perfectly and flawlessly. You don't realize all the behind the scenes that goes into executing a massive wedding, but Santiago tackles it all, and doesn't let you down. He even gave the shirt off his back to one of our grandparents when he stained his shirt. And our bridal and groom attendants (shout out to Vera and Jennifer) who were 3 steps ahead of us! They literally changed our shoes for us when we had a sneaker change (as we were eating our dinner). And our bridal party actually got to enjoy themselves and didn’t have to worry about anything because our attendants were so accommodating. A wedding is a special day, a once in a lifetime event. You want to find the venue that will make it special for you, and that’s why our venue search was over the moment we discovered the Pleasantdale Chateau. We truly had the fairytale, storybook wedding that little girls dream about when there’s not a care in the world. How did we get so lucky?! Our guests are still talking about our wedding a month later and saying it’s the best wedding they've ever been too. Some even said it was better than their own!

If I could give the Pleasantdale more than 5 stars, I would. We went to view the venue and immediately knew this was where we had to get married. From the history, to the architecture, to the uniqueness in the experience they provide, there is no other choice but the Pleasantdale. Fred, Santiago, and team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day not only ran smoothly, but that we had nothing to worry about the day of. Personal attendants, extensive delectable menu choices, you name it and the Pleasantdale delivers.

My husband and I were married at Pleasantdale Chateau a few weeks ago and cannot say enough great things about the entire Pleasantdale team and the service they provide. All the reviews on here are 100% accurate... Pleasantdale is truly the best of the best in the event/wedding industry - the staff is beyond compare. From the second I arrived on my wedding day, my bridal consultant (hi Vira!) was there to greet me and stuck by my side the ENTIRE day. She anticipated my EVERY need and saved the day countless times (from helping me to fix my hair and my veil, assisting me to and from the limo in the rain and during pictures outside in the rain, keeping me hydrated throughout the day, bustling my dress PERFECTLY and in record time, and keeping me calm throughout the entire day like a personal therapist), Vira was simply THE BEST and I honestly cannot imagine having gotten through the day without her! (Also props to Lessly for her help as well!) And who can forget Santiago and Fred? Both a... Read moremazing and absolute pros. My mom said Santiago kept checking in with her throughout the wedding to make sure she and my grandma (who is 93) were ok (before the wedding Santiago never met my mom or grandma and took it upon himself to look over them during the reception, which my mother greatly appreciated; he even offered to punch another hole in my grandma's shoe strap because she mentioned it was loose). I could go on and on, but basically, everyone at Pleasantdale is who you would hope them to be in planning and producing the wedding of your dreams. My husband and I literally said to one another as we were driving home after our wedding that we couldn't imagine how people got married anywhere else (knowing that Pleasantdale's service is second to none and having just experienced it first hand). Your money is well spent at Pleasantdale; if it's in your budget... DO IT. I promise you will NOT regret it.

My wife (still weird saying that) and I got married at the Pleasantdale on January 18 2019. After first seeing the place, meeting Fred and his staff several times, reading others reviews, the bar was set extraordinarily high, the hype was legitimately at Flavor Flav levels and yet exceeded all expectations. The place itself, the way the handle their business is different from every other venue. You are not handed a menu and packages when you arrive, food is seasonal and the menu changes. Nothing is cookie cutter, the entire experience is catered to your specific wants and needs and i assume no two parties are really alike. I myself am a foodie and bonded with Fred a year before the wedding over our discussion about passion for all things culinary. He remembered this when it was time to pick out our menu and worked with us to craft the most incredible spread any of my friends and family had ever seen at any wedding or special event before. People are still talking about the cock... Read moretail hour. My advise, put your trust in Fred when it comes to the food. Santiago, the staff, our attendants, the incredible servers round out a team perhaps only rivaled by the golden state warriors or the patriots. They were incredibly pleasant to work with, incredibly attentive to not just our needs but all of our wants and were meticulous in helping put on a the party that we had envisioned. We could not be more happy with the results. They made our night incredibly memorable for us, our friends and our family and for that we are forever grateful. Best, Lawrence and Jenn

My husband and I were married here on December 7th, 2018. Residing in Texas, we did not have the luxury of visiting with vendors at our leisure. We performed thorough reseach, narrowed it down to our favorites, booked appointments at 6 venues, flew to New Jersey where we met with each, all in the same day. In my opinion, it's the absolute best way to shop because all of the details of each venue is fresh. Each of them was nice in their own way, however, The Pleasantdale was our final stop, and blew all others out of the water! Not only was The Pleasantdale Chateau in a category all-its-own, the knowledge, thoroughness, & detailed tour with Fred Fogg was unlike any other. He just knew EVERYTHING and easily answered any and all questions we had. We booked almost immediately, and I am so thankful that we did!!! They were on top of every little detail!!! Leading up to the wedding, we corresponded with Dawn a lot and, she too, was fabulous to work with. She always got back to us at lightn... Read moreing speed, even replying on her off days! Much closer to the wedding, we met in person once more and had the pleasure of working with Santiago. Another amazing member of the Pleasantdale family. He was able to walk us through our wedding day, the food, the arrangements, the timing. He was able to guide us and advise us regarding the menu and was just wonderful to work with. Between Fred, Santiago, and Dawn, our entire experience was seamless from beginning to end. I must have emailed Fred a million times, and each time I heard back instantly. I sincerely LOVE the Pleasantdale Family. They are so professional and on top of everything, but still so personable and just a joy to work with! Our Wedding Day: From the beginning, it was incredible. The bridal suite was all set up. Orange juice, champagne, coffee, fresh fruit was prepared for my bridal party. Plentiful space for all of the gals to spread out, relax, take turns on make-up & hair. They had the most wonderful bridal attendant, Alyssa, helping with anything and everything I needed. She even layed out my dress, vail, and shoes so the photographer could capture some incredible shots. During picture she was constantly helping with my cathedral veil and long train. It would have been so time consuming, had I needed to get sorted all on my own. You really don't consider these details, however, The Pleasantdale Chateau is obviously well versed & experienced in every aspect of your wedding day. My husband also had a wonderful bridal attendant; pleasant, experienced, and skilled. She was able to tie bowties for all of the groomsmen & was simply on top of everything, to ensure the photos were great! They want so much for your day to be incredible and literally take care of as much as possible so that you can remain at ease, to soak in the most amazing day of your life! The Food: Hands down the most phenominal food you will ever have. If wedding venues were able to receive Michelin Stars, The Pleasantdale would take the cake! The cocktail hour dishes & the sit down dinner were absolutely remarkable. Having been to a number of weddings, this is the very first venue I have ever been to that has served up restaurant quality dishes every single time. We had so many guests approach us to let us know just how incredible the food was! My husband and I both cook very well at home, often enjoy some of the greatest restaurants in Houston, and ,WOW, we were just so impressed with the taste, quality, and absolute perfection. Guest Feedback: During the wedding, after the wedding, via call, text, email, and Facebook, many of our guest reiterated, over and over, about how much they enjoyed every bit of our wedding. We even received a card from one of our family members, thanking us for the invite as they "had never seen anything like it". If you are looking to have a one-of-a-kind, magical, unforgettable, picturesque, fairytale wedding, I highly reccommend having your wedding day at The Pleasantdale Chateau. I loved every bit of my wedding day and cannot envision spending all of my beautiful memories anywhere else. It was truly remarkable! The Pleasantdale team is remarkable! It's the most beautiful place I have ever seen & is a photographers dream. We were blessed with great weather, however, if we ended up with a rainstorm, our photos would have still been spectacular. There is so much history and character within all of the rooms at this venue. Simply breathtaking everywhere you look!

When we started our wedding venue search, the Pleasantdale Chateau was our first stop and it should have been our last. First of all, simply entering the grounds is stunning. We drove up to this breathtaking venue and I already felt like I was in a fairytale. That same weekend we toured other venues, but I knew we were destined to be married at the Pleasantdale. Not only was it beautiful but it would be dedicated to us entirely for 24 hours. I did not want a “bride in, bride out” experience. While other venues were lovely, there was such a high level of service and attention the Pleasantdale offered, which is exactly what I wanted for our wedding day. Working with Fred, Dawn and Santiago throughout our months of planning could not have gone smoother. While they are incredibly professional and responsive, they are also just fun to work with! We loved the experience of finalizing our menu and the details of the big day. They made me feel completely at ease because they do not miss... Read more a beat. We got married on 11.16.18 and the night before was a nor’easter. No matter what type of weather you get on your big day, rest assured the grounds of the Pleasantdale will still be gorgeous. We arrived at 9am to a winter wonderland. The bridal suite was ready to go with fruit, pastries, champagne and coffee. This was was one of my favorite rooms on the property. It overlooks the ballroom, so it was exciting to see everything being set up. It also has a balcony which overlooks the front grounds. We had two bridal attendants who were always there when you needed them. My husband had his own suite to get ready, and also a game room for the guys to hang out in. They certainly enjoyed themselves. From there, everything was perfect. The ceremony, the reception, the after party - all amazing. But the #1 hit at our wedding, by far, was the food. Our guests were blown away. Our cocktail hour alone could have fed everyone for the night. No one could believe they were getting dinner as well. And then the desserts. And then the after party menu. It was all SO good!! 9 months later our family and friends are still raving about it. I also have to mention that the honeymoon suite was GORGEOUS. It was set up after the reception with every dessert, champagne and lots of water. They also allowed us to bring in a karaoke DJ for the after party, which was so much fun. The next morning we had a huge breakfast (in case anyone was still hungry, which they were). It was so nice that the Pleasantdale has guest rooms on the property so we could see most of our out-of-town guests before they left. The attendants once again did a phenomenal job cleaning up the honeymoon suite so we could enjoy our time at breakfast. They had everything packed and ready to go for our departure. Our wedding was a dream come true and I give so much credit to the Pleasantdale for making that happen. They are the best of the best in the wedding industry and will go above and beyond to make certain you are taken care of on the most important day of your lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Fred, Santiago, Dawn and the rest of the wonderful staff at this magical venue. We will never forget this experience!
