  • It was the Perfect Place!

    Having my wedding at Estate Les Chenes was the best decision ever! It was the perfect place for my perfect day!

    Not only is the venue gorgeous but Madie and Loreli were amazing to work with. They went above and beyond to help me figure out what I wanted and how to get it done. They left classic details in the house that added to my dreamy pictures and spots for first looks. It is the perfect mix of classic and modern. Getting to stay the night was the cherry on top! We had family come in town and there was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy our time together.
