Le Chateau

Le Château is a historic Golden Age mansion set on a hillside in South Salem, NY, offering sweeping Hudson Valley views, lush gardens, and romantic sunsets for wedding celebrations. Originally commissioned by financier J.P. Morgan in 1907 and designed by Atterbury & Atterbury, the estate showcases rare craftsmanship including stone fireplaces, grand staircases, and timeless architecture. In 2016, the property underwent a loving restoration and expansion that blended historic elegance with modern luxury while preserving the mansion's original charm. Couples can exchange vows beneath a garden arbor surrounded by rolling hills, then celebrate in the elegant ballroom accommodating up to 265 guests. Private wedding suites provide space for getting ready before the festivities. Le Château hosts only one wedding per day, ensuring focused attention on each celebration. Each couple works with a dedicated coordinator and day-of maître d' to ensure seamless execution. The all-inclusive wedding package features a one-hour cocktail reception, a four-hour plated dinner, and full bar service with cocktails, wine, beer, and spirits. The venue has received The Knot Best of Weddings awards from 2019 through 2026 and Best of Weddings Hall of Fame recognition.
