757 Eagle Rock Ave, West Orange“My daughter and my now son-in-law were married at the Pleasantdale Chateau on 1/19/2024. To sum up our experience in one word-Perfection! From the moment we arrived until our departure 24 hours later every detail was handled with precision and courtesy by the fabulous Pleasantdale Chateau staff. There was not one thing that was overlooked. From the bridal and groom attendants, Michelle and Jen; to the banquet manager, Bryan; to the captains, Iker, Jonathan, Luis and Tori, and to all the staff who greeted our guests and looked after them during the reception, your service was exceptional. We were so very impressed by your professional and friendly manner. As one guest told me this event was “Perfect white glove service. When I got up to dance I returned to my seat to a refolded napkin and a reorganized place setting. When they delivered dinner they knew exactly what meal went where. That staff was the best trained and most professional catering staff I have ever seen. Captains constantly on the floor overseeing and communicating. Really flawless service in my opinion. A truly well oiled machine. “ So many of our guests sang the praises of the food, staff, the setting and the overall atmosphere. Many claimed it was the best wedding they ever attended. We cannot thank Fred, Santiago, Dawn, and the entire staff enough for making our daughter’s wedding a top notch experience. Sincerely, Linda Gilman”

Christina, the owner, had such creative ideas (that my wife enjoyed geeking out with her over!) and every single thing looked perfect on the day of, from our bouquets to our aisle, wedding arch, table arrangements, and even the small flowers she put into the vases we used as party favors. She also worked with us to incorporate dahlias that our families has grown for us into the arrangements, which made everything feel that much more special.
