Do I need an appointment to see the Chateau?

We certainly prefer an appointment although drop-ins often do work out. Our staff is not always available to show you around and we would like to get all of your questions answered at one time, if possible. Please call Bambi at 817-878-2515 or email her at bambi@bellaevents.org and she will set something up.

How many people can your venue accommodate for a reception?

Up to 350 seated.

What is required to hold a date?

To reserve a date at the Chateau, we require a $1,200 deposit. That's it. It is helpful to have an estimated guest count to give you an idea of initial pricing, but we realize that this estimate will probably change.

Can I bring my own alcohol?

Yes, you are free to bring in your own alcohol as long as you are having a hosted bar and are not selling alcohol. We do require that you use our TABC bartenders to serve all alcohol.

Can I bring in my own vendors and food?

Yes. We have an open vendor policy. You may use a caterer, restaurant, food truck, or family chef to bring in food. You may also choose your own DJ, photo booth, and cake baker. We do have a kitchenette includes a sink, refrigerator, food warmer and ice machine. We do not have cooking equipment.

What about guest parking?

We have lots of parking spaces on a striped, well lit and there is no need for valet parking. You won't have to park down the street.

How about rest rooms?

The ladies room has 11 stalls, 3 hand sinks and a huge mirror. The men's room has 6 stalls, two hand sinks and a large mirror. There is no waiting in a line for either restroom.

Do you require security at events?

Not normally.
