Chateau Weddings in France

A chateau wedding in France is unforgettable: elegant interiors, sweeping grounds, and space for your guests to stay the weekend and celebrate together rather than scattering to hotels. Among our chateau wedding venues in France you will find estates with the right blend of ceremony space, gardens for a marquee, and bedrooms enough for the wedding party. We can point you to the properties that welcome weddings and, where needed, help you connect with local caterers, florists and planners so the day runs smoothly.

Weddings & events

 

Hire a Chateau in France for a Group

Even without an event, to hire a chateau in France is to give a large family or a group of friends a spectacular base with room for everyone and grounds to roam. Chateau hire in France is often better value per head than it looks, since one estate can sleep a party that would otherwise fill several villas, and many include a pool, a games room and acres of privacy. It is our easiest collection to book for a milestone birthday or a multi-generation reunion.

Villas with a private pool

 

Manor Houses with Character

If a full chateau is more than you need, our manor houses offer the same sense of history and space on a slightly gentler scale. A manoir suits a smaller gathering that still wants beamed ceilings, walled gardens and a long dining table, without the grandeur, or the guest count, of a full estate.

 

Chateaux and Estates by Region

Provence and the Languedoc are especially rich in beautiful estates, from vineyard chateaux to fortified manors, and it is here that a chateau for rent in the South of France offers the best choice and value. The Cote d'Azur adds glamour for those who want a grand address near the coast. Tell us the occasion, and we will match the estate to it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we hold a wedding at a chateau?

Yes. Many of our estates welcome weddings, with space for the ceremony, celebration and guests to stay. We will point you to the right ones.

How many guests can a chateau sleep?

It varies widely. Some sleep a dozen, others a large party. Tell us your numbers and we will match the estate.

Is hiring a chateau only for events?

No. A chateau also makes a spectacular base for a large family holiday or group of friends, event or not.

Do chateaux have pools?

Many do, along with extensive grounds. We will confirm the facilities for any estate.

How far ahead should we book for a wedding?

As early as possible, often 12 months or more, as the best estates and summer dates go quickly. Get in touch early and we will hold options while you decide.

How much does it cost to hire a chateau in France?

It depends on the estate, the season and the guest count, but per head a chateau is often better value than several separate villas. Tell us your numbers and budget and we will match an estate.

Can we hire a chateau in the South of France specifically?

Yes. Provence and Languedoc have the richest choice of estates for rent in the South of France, from vineyard chateaux to manor houses. Ask us and we will shortlist by region.
