A Beautiful Day, Whatever the Weather
Every wedding at Chatsworth comes with a built-in rain plan — no extra charge, no last-minute panic. If the weather turns, we move your ceremony into the Cristella Veranda. We typically set immediate family in rows of chairs while remaining guests are already seated at reception tables — which means less room-flipping and more celebrating. One of our couples had a full-day rain forecast. We were outside at 6am building structures. The wedding was perfect.
