This 15th-century château has been transformed into a stylish sanctuary, balancing magical architecture and refined modern interiors across its five-acre private estate.

About Chateau de la Couronne
Every detail of the estate, from its manicured gardens and woodland groves to its stately salons and artistic furnishings, has been considered to host a multi-day event where each moment feels distinct. Couples are invited to take full ownership of the château, shaping their wedding weekend across a range of indoor and outdoor spaces, each with its own character and appeal.
Weddings
All weddings at the château must be planned in collaboration with one of their trusted, partnered wedding planners. These planners are carefully selected to ensure every aspect of the celebration is expertly managed and aligned with your vision.

The château’s layout is designed to evolve with your celebration, offering a variety of spaces to reflect the rhythm of your wedding weekend. Whether you prefer an open-air gathering or the romance of an historic interior, each setting brings its own atmosphere and flexibility:
- Gardens – Four expansive settings for outdoor ceremonies, welcome parties or seated dinners, accommodating up to 200 guests
- Courtyard – Central to the estate, perfect for arrival drinks, wedding meals, dancing and al fresco entertainment
- Banquet Hall – Features dramatic beams, stone walls, and space for 120 guests; ideal for dining, speeches and dancing
- Piano Room – An intimate indoor space with a grand piano, perfect for a refined cocktail hour or plan-B ceremony space
- Terrace & Poolside – Overlooking the gardens, this area suits relaxed brunches, casual BBQs or an afternoon aperitivo
- Bar Spaces – The Chandelier Bar, Banquet Bar, and portable Garden and Venetian Bars can be tailored to your event style
The château also includes a suite of nine salons, each with its own design aesthetic, for pre-wedding preparations, portraits, and private moments throughout the weekend.
Accommodation
With space for up to 39 guests across 3 properties, Château de la Couronne transforms into a private estate for your nearest and dearest. Each room is styled to blend comfort with elegance, and all include thoughtful amenities to enhance the wedding weekend experience:
- The Château – Sleeps 24 guests in elegant bedrooms with air-conditioning, luxurious linens, vanity stations, dressing mannequins, and bridal-prep accessories such as steamers and styling chairs
- The Coach House – Sleeps 10 guests, offering five stylish bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, lounge area, smart TV, and fireplace

All accommodations are provided exclusively for weddings and include coffee machines, bath and pool towels, hairdryers, toiletries, and private en-suites. For larger wedding parties, additional accommodation options can be advised by the venue’s team in nearby villages and towns, ranging from charming guesthouses to boutique hotels, all within a short drive from the château, making it easy for your full guest list to stay comfortably close by.
Catering
The château’s culinary offering is both elevated and generous, with bespoke menus created by a passionate in-house kitchen and trusted catering partners. Food plays a central role throughout the wedding weekend, flavourful, seasonal, and always beautifully presented. From the first toast to the final bite, every dish is designed to delight.
On arrival day, the tone is set with relaxed grazing boards and French wines served in the sunlit courtyard. Guests mingle and reconnect, perhaps enjoying slices from a live pizza station while sipping cocktails from the Chandelier Bar. It’s a social, celebratory beginning that eases everyone into the weekend.
The wedding day begins with a hearty breakfast followed by a light lunch for staying guests. After the ceremony, the terrace becomes a stage for cocktail hour with Champagne and a flowing selection of canapés. Later, guests are seated in the courtyard or banquet hall for a lavish three- or five-course dinner featuring dishes like duck confit with red wine sauce, truffle-infused mashed potatoes, and seasonal greens. Dessert is an event of its own, often a five-part tasting followed by Baileys coffee. Late into the night, mini burgers, pulled pork sliders, and fries keep the energy up on the dance floor.
The final day brings a laid-back poolside mood with pizzas fresh from the oven, Aperol spritzes, and garden games. The celebration ends with a relaxed barbecue on the terrace, complete with vibrant salads, grilled meats, and a dessert spread of lemon tarts, brownies, sugared doughnuts, and fruit platters.
Bar service is tailored to your style, whether that’s a Champagne tower, signature spritz menu, or curated open bar. With multiple stations throughout the property, including the Banquet Bar and portable outdoor options, your guests will never be far from a perfectly timed toast. Midday pizzas at the pool are followed by a relaxed BBQ on the terrace, featuring handmade salads, steak hash burgers, skewered vegetables, and a dessert table of lemon tarts, brownies, sugared doughnuts, and fresh fruit.
