"We got married at the Hidden Chateau and Gardens on July 30, 2011. Choosing the Hidden Chateau was one of the best decisions we made with our wedding! I found the Chateau while browsing online for a venue and I was hooked the minute I saw the chateau and gardens on their website. It was so beautiful and I just loved it! Seeing the chateau in real life almost 2 months later confirmed my impressions. The service we received from Jill (the owner) and Carol (the day of event coordinator) was superb! They went way above and beyond their line of duty to help us organize our day. From deciding on the layout for the ceremony and reception, catering arrangements, overall decor, budget management, Jill and Carol were extremely helpful and resourceful.

On the day of the wedding the gardens looked so beautiful! The greenery provided a beautiful backdrop so there was little need for additional decorations. The ceremony set up was simple and beautiful, the dining and wedding cake set up were gorgeous all put together by Jill and Carol. It was a cozy and intimate setting which was perfect.  As the afternoon wore on into evening the garden became more and more beautiful with the strings of light in the trees shining as the natural daylight dimmed.

Jill, Carol, Mike and Beverly were on duty full time making sure that our program went smoothly and it did! All of our guests commented on the beauty of the gardens and how hospitable our hosts were. One guest mentioned that she now wanted an excuse to have an event at the Chateau! We all had such fun. It was truly a beautiful day. If you are looking for an elegant, cozy, intimate setting for your event where you get quality service, good food, staff who treat you special and are flexible to accommodate your needs, then the Hidden Chateau and Gardens is the place for you!!

Thank you Jill, Mike, Carol and Beverly!

Thanks for everything you did to make our day beautiful.  The weather turned out beautiful and the gardens were so lovely.  I had several people comment that it was the most beautiful wedding location they ha ever been to!  I thought so myself and it was so nice that we only live about 2 miles away so that made my planning a lot easier!

"How can I ever thank you for ensuring that my wedding day was practically perfect in every way?  I so greatly appreciate all the effort put in by yourself and your staff in helping make my day as unforgettable as possible.

You went above and beyond, and I greatly appreciate that.  Please pass along my thanks and good wishes to Charlie -- the appetizers were lovely -- and his servers were wonderful.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed my day; over and over I heard my guests state that the Hidden Chateau and Gardens was one of the most beautiful venues they've ever seen; and that you run an organized, efficient team.  I look forward to the possibility of future events with you, as I love the place so much.

"We couldn't have picked a more beautiful place for a wedding. Jill and Jeff are very nice and helpful. The gardens are beautiful with all the flowers, fountains and trees. The lighted gazebos add a special touch. They provide all the tables and chairs, umbrellas if needed, beautiful rooms for dressing, valet parking ect. Everything was perfect and the day was flawless. Jill and Jeff are so easy to work with and make a stressful time painless. I would highly recommend the Hidden Chateau for a wedding or any occastion. You won't be disappointed."

"As a bride, of course I wanted my wedding to be perfect. Part of that was having a beautiful, comfortable, private outdoor venue, and that's exactly what I got at the Hidden Chateau. We had 125 guests, and it was a great fit. Since the ceremony takes place in the same area as the reception, it was still remarkably well-organized, as far as getting tables set up, etc. Following the ceremony and while we took pictures, our guests could gather away from that in the shade for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. It was much hotter than expected that day, and umbrellas were provided for guests during the ceremony as well as the reception. We had a truly perfect day, many thanks in part to the staff of this lovely venue."

"I absolutely LOVE this place! It's gorgeous and romantic. This is a former horse stable turned mission, complete with arches, cobble stone paths, with rustic/vintage/antique decor, a very romantic atmosphere. We had our wedding here and we'll always have a place in our heart for this venue. The owners are very friendly and personal. The boutique inside is beautiful and offer many antique fixtures for your home and garden. Come and check it out for yourself! A hidden gem!"

"Place is BEAUTIFUL!!! I had my wedding here in June and everyone was surprised with the romantic twinkling lighted garden that they had; truly one of a kind!!!! I only wish they were able to have parties last longer, they have to end by 10:00 PM; but other than that, the place was magical!!!!"

"The hidden Chateau was a dream come true for us. The staff, the gardens, and the amazing lighting after nightfall was something I could not have imagined. I had so much fun at our wedding mainly because it was so perfect. Jill was easy to talk to, and always had a smile on her face, and everything came together as it should, without any difficulty. I would recommend The Hidden Chateau to all!!"

"My husband and I were married in May 2007, we were on a budget, wanted an outdoor garden wedding. We shopped around and found The Hidden Chateau and Garden. Instantly we knew this is where we wanted our special day held. The owner is so nice, all of the staff accomodating and truly professional. They made it so easy and I felt so comfortable working with them. Our day was perfect, and the fact that this is a historical place in the San Fernando Valley was special to me, I was born and raised in the Valley. The garden is georgeous and you can customize you event to make it truly magical. I highly recommend this place."

"I hired a wedding planner to assist me with my personal wedding needs, and it's the best money I spent! A week before my wedding everyone was telling me that I seemed so calm for only being a week out from my big day. Also, I'm in sales, and time is money, so I couldn't afford the distractions of taking calls, and lining up meetings related to our wedding. My wedding coordinator did all of that for me, and this allowed me to continue to focus on my job, and I hit my sales goals monthly! Had I not, this would have cost me more than the fees for my wedding planner. Great investment, and quite a relief on my nerves!"
