BAR & COCKTAIL HOUR

The Chateau Nouvelle foyer is perfect for a statement arrival. As you stroll through the entry foyer, you will feel as if you have begun a journey into a different time and place in history where royalty once dwelled. Our nearly 5,000 sq ft cocktail area provides extensive space, not only for cocktail hour, but throughout your entire event. These areas can also be used for private dinners, rehearsal dinners, first look photos, and various popular event add-ons (i.e. cigar rolling, champagne fountain, whiskey tasting, photobooth, dessert stations, etc.).  Each area possesses its own unique beauty, architectural design and character. Your guests can choose to escape into any of these impeccable spaces.
 
The Chantilly chambers is strikingly beautiful with its marble fireplace and floors, gleaming chandelier, and ornate gold framed mirror.
 
The EJL is uniquely designed with architecturally accented floor-to-ceiling windows and a handcrafted cathedral ceiling.
 
The Salle de Pierrefonds boasts a soaring high ceiling displaying a beautifully hand painted European mural. Additionally, this area includes marbled stairs leading to a slightly elevated large enclave with floor-to-ceiling decorative wainscoting for additional cocktail mingling, cocktail stations, string quartets, cake displays, or anything you can imagine.
 
The exceptionally large Merlot Study encased in rich mahogany wood flown in from Europe creates a tranquil sanctuary for family and friends to mingle, as well as an elegant backdrop for memorable moments.
 
The Versona Foyer with its breathtaking tri-level wrought iron spiral staircase is the ultimate indulgence for stunning wedding portraits and is sure to impress your guests.
 
Regal, impressive and elegant, our majestic cocktail area can truly be configured to personally suit your desires and offer endless possibilities.
