We love working at venues with exciting backstories, and Le Chateau really fits the bill. It’s a beautiful catering hall with a very rich history. Before becoming a premier location for weddings in Westchester County, Le Château housed a close friend to the uber-successful American banker, J.P. Morgan. In 1907 Morgan commissioned the stunning Tudor-style fieldstone mansion as a very generous gift for his friend, Dr. William S. Rainsford. He named the South Salem property Savin Rock. Its vibrant history, combined with its regal beauty makes this hillside banquet hall a perfect fit for our top 10 series. Enjoy our list of the top 10 wedding photos taken at Le Château!
