01

One coordinator

Nicole handles your day. Setup, packup, vendor wrangling — one number, one calendar, one answer.

02

Lakefront ceremony

Add a ceremony on property with white padded chairs and a birch arch — or use the lawn at the water's edge.

03

Three king rooms

Sleep above the restaurant in two lakefront suites and a vaulted-ceiling king. Stay where you celebrate.

04

The wooden boat

Portraits on the water. Bride & groom, wedding party, or guest rides — only at the Château.

Three Packages

Pick the day that fits your guest list.

Each tier is a complete event — food, beverage, service staff, tables, white linens, chairs, high tops, bar stools — with a single per-person price. Add-ons (ceremony, rooms, boat, tents) are itemized below.

A Sample Evening

How the night runs.

Exact times are yours — this is the rhythm we recommend for an exclusive wedding starting at 4:30pm.

  1. 4:30

    Guests arrive

    Anyone earlier is held off-property so setup can finish.

  2. 4:45

    Ceremony

    Lakefront or lawn · officiant by you · 20–30 min.

  3. 5:00

    Cocktail hour & hors d'oeuvres

    Four passed bites + stationed charcuterie. Open bar opens.

  4. 6:30

    Three-course dinner

    Salad, entrée, dessert & coffee. Seated style.

  5. 8:00

    Reception

    First dances, toasts, dancing on the lawn or under the tent.

  6. 10:00

    Event concludes

    Bolton noise ordinance: events past 10pm incur a $5,500 town fee charged night-of.

Deposit & payment

Exclusive packages: $15,000 to reserve, a second $15,000 deposit at the one-year mark, and a final payment three months prior. Non-exclusive: $7,500 to reserve, final invoice three months prior.

The final invoice includes the 20% service fee and 7% NY sales tax applied to your total.

Parking & transport

We can accommodate up to 20 cars on property. There are no Ubers or Lyfts in Lake George and local taxis come from Queensbury or Albany — we strongly recommend you book group transportation.

Noise ordinance

The town of Bolton imposes a $5,500 fee on any event running past 10pm. This is charged to the client credit card on the night.

Decor & vendors

Candles, signs, flowers, place cards, photos and other personal decor are provided by you and dropped off to the coordinator one day prior (cake & flowers arrive day-of). We're happy to recommend florists, photographers, transportation, and rentals.
