Old buildings, period architecture, fountains and flower gardens, picturesque barns... Wedding châteaux and estates are exceptional places, attracting many future spouses for their authentic, singular charm. But, as all that is original is precious, they are unfortunately not the most affordable solution. So how much should you expect to pay to rent a wedding château or estate, and what criteria should you use to keep costs down? That's what we'll be looking at in this article.
Immersing your guests in a romantic, romantic, historic or rural universe, wedding estates and châteaux are absolutely perfect for making your wedding weekend a magical and exceptional moment. What's more, their capacity is often greater than that of party halls, hotels or private restaurants.
But they are obviously not the most economical solution. It costs between €3,000 and €20,000 per day, sometimes even more for the most prestigious establishments. Why such a wide range? We'll show you!
Regardless of the type of location you choose, you'll find higher prices in the high season (May to September). Demand explodes during this period, and you need to book well in advance!
Unsurprisingly, weekday bookings are rare. You can take advantage of low prices if you organize your wedding outside the weekend.
Some couples want to extend the festivities over several days. Obviously, the longer you extend your stay, the higher the price.
Some regions are much more popular than others. This is true of the Côte d'Azur, which attracts national and international clientele, and of coastal areas in general. The Île-de-France region commands higher prices due to its proximity to the capital, where living standards are higher.
As you can see, wedding estates and châteaux are subject to the law of supply and demand. So if you're on a tight budget, look for a sparsely populated region. But make sure it's well served!
Logically, location size is positively correlated with price.
Larger estates generally offer flexible packages, where the reservation of certain areas (orangery, wellness area, winter garden, swimming pool...) is optional.
Some estates have partnerships with local service providers:
Ask the managers if they are obliged to do so, and check that basic furniture (chairs, tables) is included in the price.
In addition, some venues are only open until 2 a.m., while others will let you dance the night away. Be sure to ask!
