Pleasantdale Chateau & Conference Estate

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateau, and we cannot express how truly remarkable our experience was. We hear the term fairytale wedding thrown around a lot but Fred, Santiago and the team at the PC really plan a magical day for anyone who throws their wedding there. Fred and Santiago are seasoned professionals who have clearly mastered the art of wedding coordination. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine enthusiasm for making our day special was truly heartwarming. Throughout the entirety of our 24 hours there we experienced a level of service by their generous staff that was beyond our wildest expectations.

The venue itself exudes timeless elegance. The architecture and visual surroundings provided a stunning backdrop for our celebration. We were blessed with perfect weather, and the outdoor areas added an extra layer of beauty to the day. We couldn't have asked for a more romantic and fairytale-like setting. One of the highlights of our wedding was undoubtedly the food. The dishes were not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Our guests raved about the menu, and it was evident that every dish was crafted with care and passion. Throughout the evening, we received countless compliments from our guests about what a fantastic venue the Pleasantdale is. Many mentioned that it was one of the most memorable weddings they had ever attended. The ambiance, the service, and the food all contributed to creating an unforgettable experience that our friends and family will be talking about for years to come.

Our wedding at the PC was nothing short of perfect. From the initial planning stages to the grand finale, every aspect was executed flawlessly. Their dedication and passion in working together to make the day magical is unmatched. If you're looking for a wedding venue that will leave you and your guests in awe, look no further than the Pleasantdale Chateau. We are immensely grateful for the wonderful memories created here and wholeheartedly recommend this venue to any couple seeking an unforgettable wedding day.

Words cannot describe the magical experience imagined, created, and produced by Fred, Santiago, Dawn and their amazing team. From the moment we met them two years ago until departing Sunday after three incredible days, the experience was fabulous.

Thank you for producing my daughter and son-in-law’s fairytale wedding. I am forever grateful for your hospitality, professionalism, and creative genius in designing the perfect celebration!

Y’all ROCK!

Words can not describe how happy my wife and I are that we celebrated our wedding at the Pleasantdale. The venue, staff and food was impeccable and flawless. Our guests could not say enough positive things about the day!
We want to thank Fred and Santiago for making this day unbelievable. We were so impressed with how professional and kind the staff was. They take so much pride in what they do and it shows! The food was unmatched, from the cocktail hour, to dinner, and the desserts. We couldn’t be more thrilled about the attention to detail.
They really made the wedding day run flawlessly. My wife wants to especially thank Liz for being by her side the entire day. We felt like royalty the entire day! The grounds are so rich with history and so well maintained. Whatever you had in mind as a dream venue, the Pleasantdale exceeds all expectations.

I was the groom last Saturday and all I can say is…. WOW! When I toured I could tell that the Pleasantdale was organized but nothing could have prepared me for the night we just had. From the first minute we arrived Saturday morning until checking out after Sunday brunch, it felt like I was carried through the wedding. Their attention to detail and support allowed me to spend less time worrying and more time enjoying the moment and talking and dancing with loved ones. You can’t put a price on that!!! Though the grounds are BEAUTIFUL, it POURED through the entire wedding and it didn’t affect the day for a moment. I’ve never seen a venue with such intricate and colorful indoor architecture and it made our wedding photos absolutely beautiful in spite of the horrific weather. Though I was worried about the forecast in advance, the ceremony in the tent was perfect and I didn’t miss the lake view for a second. Thank you again everyone, but in particular Fred, Santiago, Michelle, and Liz for your help in making the best night of my life also the easiest!! I hope to be back soon to experience the night as a guest - especially the cocktail hour which people CANNOT stop talking about!!

I would like to express what an incredible experience my daughter’s wedding was at the Pleasantdale Château this past 31st of August, 2023!
It was my first time there!
Tori and Liz, the bridal and groom attendants, were always close by in case we needed anything. They were attentive, so caring, sweet, thoughtful, efficient and very productive.
Having Tori’s familiar, beautiful face around me was such a calming and comforting experience! Her sparkling eyes and beautiful smile just added to all the happiness of our special day in an unexpected way! She is gorgeous and talented inside and out! What a valuable asset to the wedding team!!
Thank you so much to the them and the entire staff at The Pleasantdale Chateau!

The Pleasantdale Chateau exceeded every expectation I had for my wedding day. The staff took care of us as if we were family, from the moment we stepped foot onto the property until the next morning when we left. I can’t say enough about Fred & Santiago, two of the best people to work with through out the whole process. The food was amazing, our guest keep raving about the quality of the food. The grounds themself STUNNING.

I had no desire to tour The Pleasantdale Chateau when I got engaged, I did it to make my father happy. I actually almost cancelled my tour the night before. I am so happy I didn’t cancel it. I was there for about 5 minutes before I realized this is where I am getting married at. I cancelled all over venue tours. There is no other venue like The Pleasantdale Chateau.

Thank you again to all of the staff for making my wedding day the best day ever!

TLDR: We have toured 50+ venues until we saw and fell in love with Pleasantdale. Get married there!! Our wedding at Pleasantdale was perfect from start to finish - beyond our wildest dreams. We were treated like celebrities. Months later we still get texts and calls from guests (as well as people who didn’t attend but heard about it) raving about the best wedding they’ve ever been to. My husband’s grandma can’t stop talking about our wedding and calls it one of the best events in her entire life. The venue is breathtaking inside and out, from the rustic chateau to the all encompassing grounds for any wedding theme imaginable (water/pool, forest, rustic, greenhouse, fairytale, etc) - you won’t run out of photo ops. As someone who toured over 50 wedding venues I truly hope this review will save you some time and pain.

We got married at Pleasantdale this spring. And every day since I wish I could go back to that day. If I have to name 5 best decisions of my entire life - choosing Pleasantdale was definitely one of them. I do really wish we saw Pleasantdale first or only saw Pleasantdale (for obvious reasons) because it checked all the boxes (year-round gorgeous grounds, a charming rustic European/American golden age chateau, fairytale wedding ceremony options - both indoors and outdoors, raving reviews/reputation, INCREDIBLE food (cocktails AND entrees), and most importantly, the BEST team/family you’d ever work with). We saw venues across Long Island, NYC, NJ & CT prior to Pleasantdale (it was a long difficult, painful 7-month journey). See photo proof of wedding brochures collected along the way. Had we seen Pleasantdale first it would have saved us the 50 trips touring other wedding venues. If you do the math, it’s a minimum 1-2 hours getting to/from venues, then about 1 hour at each venue. 50x that… I don’t think I could fully articulate the pain.

From saying yes to Pleasantdale to our wedding day it was just shy of 4 months. We were so blessed to work with the nicest, most talented, most professional people who love what they do and are passionate about making the day the perfect day for every couple.

From the bottom of my heart I want to thank Fred (the venue manager) who was a miracle worker. Without him we wouldn’t have had this wedding, and most definitely not a wedding at all because any sane person would have given up after seeing so many places and feeling let down. Fred is basically someone I could trust my life with. From day one Fred gets it, makes it happen, and has this rare natural ability to make anyone feel at ease (I was a hot mess) because he’s already got the flawless wedding figured out! A breeze to work with, Fred was honest, patient, and took great care of us.

Santiago, Santiago, Santiago. How much more can I love you? Santiago was our Maître d. We only needed to talk to Santiago once or twice a month prior to our wedding because boy did he know how to throw a party! Santiago knew what we liked before we even did. His passion and dedication to the couples is his secret sauce.

Tori (the banquet captain AND best wedding advisor) was kind and supportive from the moment I met her. She had a great eye for things. I trusted Tori’s taste way more than my own. The day of our wedding Tori checked on us throughout the day making sure we were well taken care of and having the best time. Tori also worked her magic, along with Bryant, to make the day run as smoothly as it did. Thank you for letting us lean on you ❤️

Pleasantdale - Thank You for making the beginning of our new chapter so incredibly beautiful! Forever grateful!

Everyone, RUNNNNNN to Pleasantdale and book your wedding there!!!
