Chateau1870 at CircaSpaces – Where Gwinnett Gathers, Connects, and Celebrates Beautifully

James and Arlene Clinkscales, two CPAs with deep Gwinnett roots, transformed a historic 155-year-old Dacula estate into something extraordinary: Chateau1870 at CircaSpaces — a boutique venue that blends charm, modern elegance, and premium hospitality.

The beautifully restored property features five fireplaces, an intimate ballroom, loft-style suites, a classic wrap-around bistro porch, a lush rose-garden rotunda and courtyard, and serene outdoor decks — each space designed to create unforgettable moments that feel both personal and refined.

Conveniently located in the heart of Gwinnett County — minutes from Athens, Atlanta, and Lake Lanier — Chateau1870 offers a uniquely elegant, chic, and versatile setting for weddings, elopements, baby showers, birthday celebrations, business expos, corporate retreats, and curated community experiences.

Beyond its beauty, Chateau1870 stands apart through its innovative vendor-partnership model. Local caterers, musicians, wellness coaches, and creative entrepreneurs are invited to host immersive experiences that enrich Gwinnett’s cultural life — from jazz evenings and afternoon teas to pop-up markets and professional mixers. This collaborative approach not only supports small business owners but keeps the Chateau alive with energy, creativity, and community all year long.

Every event at Chateau1870 reflects Southern hospitality reimagined — a venue that honors history while inspiring the future of celebration.
