Pleasantdale Chateau & Conference Estate

My first time photographing a wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateau was an absolute dream. The staff was so friendly and attentive. Everything ran on time. The food selection and quality was above chef standards. I could not have wanted a better experience for my couples. The Pleasantdale Chateau is a luxurious and whimsical wedding venue with lots of historical touches that makes a couple feel like ROYALTY. I look forward to the day I get to return and photograph another magical wedding here at the Pleasantdale Chateau!

Pleasantdale Chateau is a venue that truly delivers on every level. We have photographed over 30 weddings at this amazing venue. This year, we had the privilege of photographing Alisa and Phil's wedding, and it was an unforgettable experience. Fred's leadership ensures everything is planned to perfection, and Santiago's hands-on approach on the ground made the day seamless. Whether it was coordinating the timeline or ensuring the couple's needs were met, Santiago handled it all with such ease and professionalism. The venue itself provided countless beautiful settings for photos, and the staff made sure everything went off without a hitch. Alisa and Phil had an incredible day, and it's clear Pleasantdale's team played a big part in making that happen.

We are driving back from our wedding currently and still cannot get over the fact that it is over. With that being said, I cannot say enough good things about Fred and his team at Pleasantdale, they had every detail ironed out and thought about so everything was incredibly seamless (especially when I needed new suspenders 20 minutes before getting ready and Bryant was so incredibly helpful and went out to source me new suspenders). The food was unbelievable (still upset I didn't get to try everything at the cocktail hour), but from the sushi to the 28 day aged steak to the beggar's purses (absolutely unreal), everything was so good and incredibly fresh. The dinner meals were fantastic, so flavorful, which you don't always get a weddings, which I think really sets Pleasantdale apart from many other wedding venues out there. I highly recommend taking a look and meeting with Fred for your future wedding search, you cannot go wrong with the team and this venue.

The Pleasantdale Chateau from my personal experience surpasses any venue I have been to. They are professional, detail-oriented, meticulous, and truly care about their client's happiness & well-being while providing the wedding of a lifetime. Not to mention their exceptional food & beverage menu. The place itself is out of a fairytale movie. I had my wedding there on June 16, 2024, and I am still receiving compliments. It is a day my husband and I will never forget and would love to re-live if ever given the chance. The staff there are patient, accommodating, hospitable, kind, and just overall wonderful people. The PDC is a once-in-a-lifetime venue. I recommend this venue to anyone and everyone who want to have a magical wedding day.

Evan and I want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Pleasantdale team. From the moment we first met Fred at Pleasantdale Chateau, we knew we were in exceptional hands. The team's meticulous attention to detail, unwavering work ethic, and genuine passion for creating personalized, flawless events were evident throughout our experience. The grounds at Pleasantdale Chateau are exquisitely maintained, with every room beautifully designed to preserve the estate's old-world charm. Upon arrival, you're immediately enveloped in the stunning architecture, elegant interior design, and natural beauty of the venue. Both we and our guests were thoroughly impressed by the service, attentiveness, and professionalism of the staff. Their exceptional service truly set Pleasantdale apart and made our experience unforgettable. The food was outstanding--a true culinary delight. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the variety, quality, and artistry of each dish. The cocktail service and alcohol selection were also top-tier, with impressive variety and quality. Overall, we can't thank the Pleasantdale team enough for making our wedding and weekend truly spectacular. It was an experience of a lifetime, and we are incredibly grateful for the support and excellence provided throughout the planning process and on our special day. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for an extraordinary experience. A special thank you to Fred, Santiago, Bryan, Hilda, Dawn, Liz, Michelle, Ang, and everyone at Pleasantdale for going above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. We love you all!

I can't even put into words how incredible and special this place is. In September of 2021 my now husband and I were introduced while we were attending a wedding here, not ever meeting each other before. In July of 2023 we got engaged and our first reaction was to head back to Pleasantdale where we met. We walked into our first meeting with Fred Fogg thinking we might be getting our hopes up having our wedding here, but let me just tell you from the minute we stepped back on the property there was no telling us we weren't going to be married here. We were so well taken care of from start to finish. The pure joy of getting married and celebrating with family and friends in the place where it all started was a dream come true, a blessing and an honor. Everything was breathtaking. From the well kept grounds, beautiful rooms throughout the property, the new ceremony space, staff, food, drinks, accommodations this place is surely the most spectacular place to be. As a current wedding planner and having worked in this industry for the past 15 years there was never a doubt in my mind that this place would fall anywhere short of perfect. As everyone thought I would be in the ballroom fixing things or trying to delegate tasks as this was in my nature, I never once had to because Pleasantdale was always one step ahead of me. I can't wait for any excuse to come back here, as Pleasantdale Chateau will always have a huge place in our hearts and memories.

This venue is truly a masterpiece, with its European-inspired architecture, breathtaking gardens, and luxurious interiors that make every shot look like a fairy tale. The variety of scenic backdrops here is unmatched. From the grand ballroom to the picturesque bridge and serene pond, Pleasantdale offers a great variety of locations perfect for a first look! The winding pathways, ivy-covered walls, and charming courtyards create such a gorgeous setting. Beyond its aesthetics, the staff at Pleasantdale Chateau is phenomenal. They are incredibly organized and vendor-friendly, ensuring everything runs smoothly so I can focus on capturing the couple's love story without interruptions. Their attention to detail and professionalism make a huge difference in creating a seamless wedding day experience. For any couple looking for a venue that feels straight out of a storybook, Pleasantdale Chateau is second to none. Highly recommended!

Pleasantdale Chateau is one of our favorite venues to shoot at. The beautifully designed landscape offers some spectacular backdrops, and the equally amazing indoors has so many different locations for stunning photos. The chapel with its tall windows offered lots of natural light, and the reception hall with its high ceiling allowed for very scenic moments to be captured. There was a wonderful shot waiting at every corner. Here are some of our favorite shots:
