Why Choose Chateau De Lis for Your Wedding Day
There’s truly no place quite like Chateau De Lis. Built over 15 years with unmatched passion and artistry, this venue is both a home and a dream fairytale wedding venue. Owners John and Chauncy Childs brought this unique vision to life. From the hand-painted murals in the dining room to the Gothic antiques tucked into every nook, the intentionality in every detail is breathtaking.
Everywhere you look, there’s something to admire. The property features everything from spiral staircases and cherry blossom walkways to a private three-acre lake. The interior boasts a Jr. Olympic-sized indoor pool, seven themed suites, and a stunning formal dining room wrapped in hand-painted murals. While the photos are striking, nothing compares to the feeling of stepping onto the property in person. The experience is one-of-a-kind, and it’s easy to see why this place is a photographer's dream.
A Chateau De Lis Wedding Styled Shoot to Remember
During a recent creative session with the sweet and stunning Bradley and Natalie, we captured some of the venue’s most magical corners. We staged the ceremony in front of the garden fountain, where a pastel floral arch by Caroline Reusen Flowers framed the couple beautifully. The turquoise-tiled reflecting pools brought out every color in the blooms, adding an extra layer of vibrancy to the portraits.
We also caught the cherry blossoms in full bloom, which gave a soft, romantic tone to the photos. As the sun dipped lower, the champagne tower sparkled in the golden light. All in all, I enjoyed capturing each little moment that brought the romantic setting to life.
What Makes a Chateau De Lis Wedding So Unique
One of the best parts about this venue is the way it provides a wide variety of photo locations all in one place. Couples can say their vows by the pond, host a reception on the grand lawn, take portraits in the gardens, or explore the opulent indoor rooms. With so many outdoor spaces and luxe interiors to choose from, there are endless possibilities for bridal portraits, wedding party photos, and more.
It’s also ideal for destination weddings! Not only is it just a short drive from Portland, but it also offers that feeling of escape. The surrounding 133 acres offer privacy, elegance, and space to roam. Whether you're planning a romantic wedding for two or a celebration with all your favorite people, this truly is the perfect venue.
