Just went to a wedding here today. Some new friends were getting married and invited us as some last minute additions to join the festivity. Now if you're having a wedding at a castle out in what felt like the middle of nowhere Springfield you've got to do it in style. Dress code was standard wedding attire or Renfaire attire (it's a castle so come on). Not only was it very fitting for the couple that it was held at a fantasy castle, but that couple also does full armored medieval combat (Buhurt is the name of the sport) and had invited members of the St. Louis team (Legion of Honor) and their Springfield home team (The Iron Alliance). I run support for Legion of Honor and my wife flights for them so we got to be guests and participants. The whole event was excellent and there were no issues from what I could see (even with us throwing people around their lawn).

Drove to see this castle this morning as I grew up in the area. The sign on the unkept gate, drive, and entry stated “open for tours, events, weddings, …”. Thought it would be a good place to keep in mind for events at a later date. Upon driving up to the castle, a lady starting yelling at us at the top of her lungs from a walkway above the house telling us that we needed to leave, instructing us to turn around. She was very rude and unwelcoming, unprofessional, and obviously not someone attempting to further her business. The house needed a lot of upkeep. Outside needs to be power washed, the lawn and drive are not taken care of. Grounds look as if the place is somewhat abandoned.I would NOT recommend having any event here as it seems like they do not want the business. The pictures posted online look nothing like the actual place.

I love the castle. It was the perfect spot for a renaissance fair.

I just read the review from 11 years ago and things have definitely changed if it is even the same ownership - I'm not sure. A husband and wife who currently owns the venue/castle are very charming and warm people. I have been there several times and it has been a delightful experience. I plan on taking a carload of friends and will be attending the fair and play that is scheduled for this Friday, 9/8/23. I will know more and will report back, but I am expecting the best and I'm sorry that one person' had such a bad experience. It is a bit of a drive but it is a beautiful drive and the castle is something to behold!

My daughter was married at Chateau Charmant and we couldn't have been happier with the way everything went. The owners were fantastic to work with, the location is absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly they turned our ceremony setup into our reception while we were outside taking pictures. I would 100% use them again!!

The outside of the castle is beautiful and the inside of the chapel is very neat. The rest is ok. It's not worth what they charge IMO. The cleanliness is not great and that's downplaying it. Bonnie was not fun to work with and made the day stressful. Her husband was kind and helpful though.

My wife and I were coordinators for m sister-in-laws wedding in December 2022, and while the setting was beautiful, the whole castle and experience left a lot to be desired.The bathrooms were NOT clean, (we cleaned them prior to guest arrival), the owner micro-managed everything very badly during the whole wedding; causing un-needed stress on everyone trying to make the couples day a dream.I would highly recommend going elsewhere unless you have a very small group and get the food catered in as there is no kitchen. For the price they ask to rent the venue, the facilities and interior decor are terrible.All in all we will not be considering this venue for any future wedding that we're involved in and we would recommend looking elsewhere first.

My younger brother recently has his wedding reception here and it was just wonderful. The building itself is beautiful, the wood work and structure of it all. The food that I believe was catered through them as well was breakfast theme was elegant and very tasty. All of their staff as well were kind, helpful and wonderful.

Just left a friend's wedding. The castle is very unique. It's in severe disrepair but it still a very beautiful venue for a wedding. A little over priced though but the wedding was very nice!

Beautiful castle and suites. Wish this had been around when I got married. It would be a beautiful wedding venue! Loved touring the beautiful property and learning about all the history and how it was built. Definitely want to come back and stay in one of the suites and experience one of their fun events like the murder mystery! The tour was a great, unique couples afternoon for my husband and I.
