Please see the details found here for complete pricing and included items.

 Our inside wedding venue is perfect for up to 50 guests, including the bridal party, our outdoor property is perfect for up to 250 guests. 

At this time, we ask that you call for our availability. (228) 233-0645

When the contract is signed, to continue holding the date, we require 50% to be paid at the time of signing.  Six months prior to the event 25% of the remaining fee to include services will be due. The final installment will be required 60 days prior to the event.  We accept cash, money orders, and most major credit cards.  

To reserve a date email us at chandelier.oaks@gmail.com saying you are ready to book XYZ date if it is still available. We suggest you email us stating you are ready to book your preferred date and then include a backup date in case your preferred date is unavailable. Prior to booking a date, we hope you are able to come out in person to visit.

We kindly request that all tours are by appointment only.

No, there is not.

At Chandelier Oaks we only host one wedding each day to ensure that each couple's event is special and receives our full attention.

There are overnight accommodations at Chandelier Oaks, provided they are not being used by the bridal party.

There are many charming VRBO and Airbnb accommodations very close by, as well as:

Econolodge Inn & Suites is about 6 miles away and offers full amenities around $60 per night. 

Hollywood Casino & Resort Gulf Coast is a little further out in Bay St. Louis but is a great choice with rates starting around $89. 

The newly opened Pearl Hotel on the water in downtown Bay St. Louis offers boutique rooms and suites starting at $159.  

No, we do not cater. We are too busy making sure your day is just what you've always hoped and dreamed it would be! We do have a list of preferred vendors we are happy to share with you! 

No. Chandelier Oaks provides an awesome venue, tables, upgraded wedding chairs, and lots of decor for the allotted amount of time. Linens can be rented through us but are NOT included in the rental fee except in our most exclusive packages. You are also welcome to bring your own linens.

Because we only host one event per day, our fee structure remains the same whether you hold your ceremony, reception, or both onsite.

We are dog friendly, with some specific stipulations. Dogs are allowed (only with pre-approval by Felia) at the ceremony and pictures. Animals, other than service animals, are NOT allowed under roof or near food. Dogs must be on a leash, and someone must be responsible for them other than the bride and groom.

We do not keep a cancellation waiting list because cancellations are unpredictable. You may check back periodically.

You will have access to the venue at the time listed in your contract, not earlier. Please plan accordingly!

This is such a great question! If you're trying to compare venues "apples to apples" we feel like this is a tricky question. Our answer is no. We think it’s possible for the job duties of a "day-of wedding coordinator" to mean something different to you than it does to us, and the last thing we want is the opportunity for miscommunication. However, we do have a team leader here before you arrive onsite who will be available to you throughout the duration of your big day. Their goal is to do everything possible to help your day go smoothly and ensure your day is as stress-free as possible! (But we still don't consider them a day-of wedding coordinator.)

We suggest starting Friday weddings at 5:00 pm, Saturday weddings between 4:00 - 5:00 pm, and Sunday weddings at 4:00 pm. Should your wedding be taking place after the time change, if you do NOT plan to have a first look or plan to get married when the sun sets earlier in the evening, please contact us to discuss schedule.

If you elect the one-day rental, our venue will likely be reserved by another couple the night before. For that reason, one day rentals should plan for an offsite rehearsal. You are also welcome to bring anyone who would feel more comfortable understanding the venue (such as your DJ or minister, or any little ones in the wedding party) to one of our monthly open houses.

Fireworks are not permitted. This includes sparklers. We don’t want to alarm the neighbors and we want to keep the fire department happy!

Only registered guests staying overnight at Chandelier Oaks are permitted to park overnight. We appreciate your understanding.  

Music on Friday's/Saturday's must conclude by 10:30 p.m. to ensure that you, all of your items, and all of your vendors are off property by midnight. Music on Sunday's must conclude by 9:30 p.m. to be off property by 10:00 pm.

All deliveries must happen during the standard rental period. Please advise your vendors of this policy.

It is required by local law when renting a venue that does not have a liquor license but where alcohol will be served for public safety reasons.

No, candles will not be allowed for safety reasons. You may however use flameless battery operated candles. 

Yes. Although the venue is sufficiently commercially insured, wedding day insurance protects and reimburses you (the couple) for certain loses from accidents or property damage that occur during the rehearsal, wedding ceremony and reception.
