Intimate Celebrations
Designed for smaller gatherings.A Smaller Guest List. The Same Sense of Occasion.
Whether you are planning something simple and refined or a gathering with your closest friends and family, every detail is handled with the same care and intention. The setting remains the same—only the scale becomes more intimate.
And if you want the weekend to stretch a little longer, the Marguerite House allows the celebration to unfold with even more ease, comfort, and time together.
A More Personal Way to Celebrate
Morning at the Marguerite House
The estate is yours as early as 7:00 AM. No hotel. No drive. No rushing. Your wedding party gathers on the grounds, the morning unfolds completely on your schedule, and the day begins exactly the way it should — peacefully, beautifully, and on your terms.
The Ceremony
In your chosen ceremony space — beneath the ancient oaks, inside the Celeste Pavilion, or in the peaceful rose garden — you stand before the people who matter most. The beauty of these grounds has a way of making every word feel weightier, every moment more permanent.
Portraits on the Estate
Chatsworth was made for portraits. Towering oaks, tranquil water gardens, vine-draped pavilions, and the soft golden light of the Louisiana afternoon — your photographer will have everything they could dream of.
The Celebration
In the Chatsworth Gallery or under the Brass Chandelier Pavilion, your guests gather for an intimate reception — catering by our in-house team, heartfelt toasts, and an evening everyone will remember.
Make your intimate celebration a full weekend. The Marguerite House — a private five-bedroom home on the estate — and the charming CarolAnn Cottage are available exclusively to wedding couples and their immediate families. Stay the whole weekend. Wake up Sunday morning still on the grounds of Chatsworth.

Mrs. Connie was an amazing host. The grounds were immaculate — so pretty and perfect for pictures. The inside made for timeless pictures while getting ready and held so much character you can’t find anywhere else.Gracie & Ryan · Garden Micro Wedding · Chatsworth Plantation
