The entire weekend of our son’s wedding at the Countryside Chalet was amazing! The owners, Michael and KaraJo, were so kind, accommodating, and extremely helpful. The venue was beautiful and everything was so well cared for. All of our guests, and even the vendors, were so impressed with the grounds and location. The property has everything that you could possibly need, including a fire pit, croquet and cornhole. There was something for everyone. The wedding party was also able to spend the night in the beautiful house onsite both Friday and Saturday night so they could really enjoy the entire weekend together. The bridal suite was perfect for getting ready the morning of the wedding. Highly recommend!! Reviewed on 07-11-2023

Countryside Chalet was the PERFECT venue for our daughter and son in law's wedding in April! The property is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. We had the property for the entire weekend and I would totally recommend going that route. We got there on Friday at noon and didn't leave until Sunday afternoon. It was perfectly relaxing and stress free to do it that way. We had time on Friday to set up for the wedding on Saturday and we had the rehearsal and dinner at the venue Friday evening. A food truck came and we had everything right there-- no travel, no stress! The wedding and reception on Saturday evening were absolutely perfect and beautiful! The house is big enough that we were able to stay and have family in the wedding stay for the weekend for less travel and stress. It was just perfect... kind of like a weekend getaway! The owners were absolutely delightful to work with and were so accommodating and helpful. On the wedding morning Michael came by to drop off pastries and mimosa fixings and he wished us well and asked if we needed anything. Very kind! I would 1000% recommend this venue to anyone!!

Jessica Blackwell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-05-2022 The aabsolute BEST wedding venue location for a truly enchanted outdoor wedding!! Beautifully nested in the rolling hills of Eastern Kansas countryside, the site is private and quiet while conveniently accessible. The garden is magical! We did a receiving line through the garden with photos at the carriage and chess board- making it special and memorable for us and our guests. We enjoyed everything about staying there- soaking in the large bath tub and relaxing on the deck- the house was great! The large yard and basement area were just as perfect for our dogs! I am so happy we found this perfect venue for our destination wedding!! Thank you! 😊 Reviewed on 19-11-2022

Just booked The Chalet for our upcoming wedding and could not be more impressed already! The Venue space was beautiful and they did a great job of walking us through everything in detail. Love the packages they offer and ample time they give you to set up decorations, etc. Definitely takes a lot of stress away getting ready for the big day! Reviewed on 18-11-2022
Mia Gates(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-07-2021 My husband and I got married here at the beginning of July and had the best time ever. The entire property is gorgeous and we had everything we needed in order to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony (even though there was an 80% chance of rain, it held off long enough!). We didn’t even want to leave on Sunday after staying all weekend. Choosing the weekend package allowed us to have a relaxing, almost stress free wedding. I had enough time Friday to set up the reception hall and with the help of my stepson, have a rehearsal and dinner. That evening a few of us sat on the front porch drinking wine and beer and just enjoying the night. I’ll never forget it. If you have the opportunity to choose a weekend package, do it. It’s so worth it. Gratia and family were so amazing to work with. They were so supportive and helpful but also let us do our thing. Our guests were also amazed at how beautiful everything was. They actually spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor space more than the indoor space! Thank you so much for creating an unforgettable experience for us. Reviewed on 03-08-2021
Alex Blue(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-04-2021 We could not say better things about this venue. First, the owners are AMAZING. They are flexible and quick to respond. We toured the venue at least 4/5 times after signing/before our wedding and they were happy to come let us in each time. We felt the price was extremely fair for all of the accommodations we received. There is no other venue in the area that has such an amazing weekend package. Having the house on site was great because we were able to have all of our wedding party in one place for all the festivities and to prevent any unsafe driving. Last, we were complimented all day about how beautiful the venue was and we couldn't agree more! Reviewed on 18-05-2021
Sandy Vue(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-04-2021 My DREAM Venue. We booked the weekend package and our families & wedding party enjoyed it!

Ellen Selba(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-09-2019 When I first visited Countryside Chalet I knew IMMEDIATELY that it was the perfect venue for our big day! The entire property is beautiful and the ceremony area is so nicely landscaped. The reception hall is gorgeous with its wooden beams and glass chandeliers. We decided to go with the overnight package and man was I glad we did! The house on the property was icing on the cake! We were able to host rehearsal dinner there and then my entire wedding party was able to spend the night afterwards and wake up there on wedding day! How perfect! The bridal suite is so nice and they even have large windows up there so I was able to look out and watch all the action while still being able to hide away! The team here at CC is amazing as well. They are so kind, helpful, and respond to questions quickly and professionally. It is apparent how much they care about their couples and will do everything they can to make sure they have their perfect day. They should definitley be proud! I cannot recommend Countryside Chalet enough! Reviewed on 16-09-2019
Emily Overmyer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-08-2019 We are SO glad we found the Countryside Chalet! Both of our families came from out of town for our wedding, and we really liked the idea of finding a venue that would allow us to stay with our families all weekend long. The CC has a beautiful house on site, which comfortably slept our families and some of our bridal party. We even hosted our rehearsal dinner at the house the night before the wedding! The ceremony and pavilion/reception areas on the property are well-maintained, private, and were perfect for our wedding of 110 guests. One of my favorite things about CC is the freedom you have to bring in whatever vendors you want. Several other venues we considered had limited set-up time and required you to use certain vendors -- which was a HUGE turn-off. We were able to choose the best vendors for our budget, and because we had the venue all weekend, we had ample time to set up the day before the wedding. I also cannot say enough wonderful things about Gratia, Bill, and Stephanie; they were truly a joy to work with. From our initial walk-through to our big day, they were so kind, responsive, and attentive to our questions and needs. We received so many compliments on our venue, and we were so happy with how the whole weekend turned out. If you want to have a beautiful, fun, stress-free wedding, choose the Countryside Chalet!!

The property is beautiful, very well kept! The house on the property is large enough for an entire family to get ready in, and the bridal space is perfect. I loved being able to get ready but see out the windows while everything was coming together. The outside space is simple and beautiful was just perfect for our day. Inside the reception space is beautiful rustic beams mixed with the most gorgeous chandeliers. The space is large, we had 150 guest with room to spare. Lastly the staff, hands down the best people to work with. Every email or text was responded to promptly and happily. They let me visit and walk through a few times with no hesitation. They went out of their way to make sure our day was perfect from setting up to drying benches outside during rain. They welcomed our family and friends with grace and I could not have had a better experience. Reviewed on 14-10-2018
