The Details

November 6, 2026 · Pleasantdale Chateau

Our venue

Pleasantdale Chateau

Nestled in the hills of West Orange, Pleasantdale Chateau is a French-inspired stone estate set against rolling lawns, old trees, and gardens that have been tended for generations. Turrets and slate rooftops catch the late afternoon light, and the drive curves up to the house as though it has been waiting for you.

We chose it for its timeless elegance and, just as much, for its warmth — grand enough to feel like an occasion, intimate enough to still feel like us. It is the perfect backdrop for an autumn celebration, and we cannot wait to share it with you.
