From the reviews

I recently had a photo shoot at the Château, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. Cheryl, who assisted us, was very sweet and accommodating throughout our time there. The place itself is absolutely beautiful, with marvelous features outside that make for stunning photography.

★★★★★ — Nicole, Aug 2024

As a wedding planner, stylist, and floral designer I have had the pleasure of hosting several events and photoshoots at the Chateau, the property has been lovingly restored and is the perfect backdrop for your wedding or special event.

★★★★★ — Laurie, Jul 2024

This is an incredibly lovely spot, a hidden gem in Springfield, MA. The care and love for the property shown by the owners is noticeable and gives the place such a charm, when it is already so charming!

★★★★★ — Brooke, Jun 2026

Chateau Douillett is beautiful! The mansion is meticulously furnished to provide a comfortable yet charming setting. The grounds and gardens are carefully maintained, with gorgeous flowers and plants. We stayed two nights in the Lilac Room with a private bath and a dressing room. Unlike hotel beds, the bed was perfect!

Getting married at Chateau Douillett

Chateau Douillett comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
