If you are utilizing the noon to midnight rental, we ask that your bar close by 11:00pm and music end by 11:15pm. This will provide enough time for a send-off and all décor and personal belongings to be out of the building by 12:00am.

13. Are there are additional charges to my rental?                                                                                                                 

At Silver Oaks Chateau we always want to be upfront about our Rental Fee and have no hidden fees such as an additional Service Charge.  If a couple utilizes our 12-hour rental fee, without adding any optional items, then the only additional cost is the 6.975% Sales Tax on the rental.

We have several “Optional Items” that you may choose to add to your rental for an additional cost.  The current list of these include a rehearsal, Farm tables (6 total), a linen loveseat, the option to rent our 6-person trail cart that will make accessing the property for pictures much easier and requesting up to 2 additional hours added to your 14-hour rental.

16. Do you have “cheaper” catering options?

Silver Oaks Chateau is proud to provide our families with the best in class experience. We are collectively evaluating these practices with our caterers and working with partners that share value in our these expectations for your experience.

At Silver Oaks, this means we require a catering team with adequate staffing to set up your event quickly and efficiently, help facilitate the transformation of the Ceremony as needed, do what is necessary to avoid long lines at the bar(s), provide timely dinner service, consistently available to clean any tables or used items left behind by guests so trash is not visible, and clean up at the end of your event. You’ll notice the caterer provides the linens for all tables as well as linen napkins, glassware, and china.
