Elegant white Italian wedding venue with arched windows and French doors opens onto a manicured lawn on a bright sunny day.

Tucked away in a forested corner of Northwest Houston lies the stunning French-inspired estate known as Chateau Nouvelle. The grand entrance welcomes visitors with historical statues and gorgeous gardens. As you enter through the massive wrought iron glass doors, you will be swept away into a fairy-tale like experience as you take in the stunning architectural and grandeur of this regal castle. Enjoy your journey through the interior, adorned with glorious European imported antique fixtures and Italian hand-painted murals, handpicked and imported from across the globe, taking 30 years to collect. Chateau Nouvelle is like no other venue in Houston and its surrounding areas. Truly unique, the Chateau offers our brides and grooms, as well as their wedding party and guests, an experience of a lifetime.


But you don't need a grand celebration to experience the magic of Chateau Nouvelle. This incredible couple, for example, chose to elope. They wanted to exchange vows in a breathtaking setting, capture stunning photos, and celebrate their love in a way that was deeply personal and meaningful to them – without the stress and expense of a large wedding.


And let me tell you, their intimate ceremony was nothing short of epic.


Imagine:

  • The Setting: The couple exchanged vows in one of the Chateau's opulent ballrooms, surrounded by the grandeur of European antiques and the soft glow of natural light filtering through the windows.
  • The Intimacy: With just the two of them present, the focus was solely on their love and their commitment to each other.
  • The Photography: We had the freedom to capture truly unique and artistic images, playing with light and shadow, and exploring the Chateau's many stunning corners.


This elopement proved that you don't need a huge budget or a guest list to have a truly unforgettable wedding. Sometimes, the most intimate celebrations create the most lasting memories.


If you're dreaming of a unique and romantic wedding experience, consider an elopement. And if you're looking for a truly magical setting, Chateau Nouvelle is the perfect place to say "I do."
