About Château du Prieuré d’Evecquemont
Originally built as a Louis XVI‑style folly, Château du Prieuré blends architectural elegance with the warmth of a private country estate. Its neoclassical façade, grand peristyle, and serene wooded grounds offer an atmosphere of true luxury, while the enclosed park guarantees privacy throughout your stay.
Inside, the château features luminous salons with period details, high ceilings, and panoramic views over the Seine Valley. The estate is designed for exclusive hire, allowing couples complete access to the château, its terraces, gardens, and guest accommodations. A dedicated on‑site team ensures impeccable service, seamless coordination, and a personalised wedding experience from arrival to departure.
Ceremonies
Château du Prieuré offers several romantic ceremony settings to suit every style. The Peristyle of the Château, with its refined colonnades and elegant atmosphere, serves as a beautiful location for symbolic and civil ceremonies or welcome drinks.
For open‑air moments, the château’s south and west terraces overlook the park and surrounding countryside, perfect for exchanging vows or hosting a sunset aperitif.
The estate is licensed for marriage and accommodates up to 70 ceremony guests, and so most ceremonies here are relatively intimate celebrations with a deeply personal feel. With its enclosed grounds, dedicated event team, and diverse spaces, couples enjoy complete privacy throughout their celebration. A clear wet‑weather plan is available, and indoor alternatives maintain the same atmosphere of elegance.
