Your wedding at Château Barthélemy

From $62,000, all-inclusive, for about 100 guests: the venue, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. The exact price depends on your date and your guest count, and you get it in writing within a week.

Once we’ve agreed, no. It only changes if you change the wedding: more or fewer guests, a wish added along the way.

We replace them. They’re our suppliers, under our contract, so the two of you have nothing to search for or renegotiate. You approve the choice, and we take care of the rest.

Yes, if you wish. We can offer optional cancellation insurance dedicated to your wedding, placed with Lloyd’s. It covers canceling or postponing for reasons beyond your control, including if one of you can’t be there, as set out in the policy terms.

You can, it's a beautiful house. The château rents you its park, its glass pavilion and its furniture, and opens its address book. You then bring together the caterer and the drinks, the flowers and the decor, the DJ and the photographer. With us, all of that is in your price, every choice stays yours, and the château keeps its own rate. You come to get married.

Up to 250 at table under the glass pavilion, with its 200 m² terrace for drinks. We build the day around your list, from a family wedding of about a hundred to the full party, and up to 88 of you can sleep on the estate.

Tell us your date, we check with the château and reply in writing.

Yes, in four places: on the south lawn facing the château, at the pontoon on the pond, in the clearing, or along the marquis's avenue. You choose who marries you, in English, French or both, and what gets said.

In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the château. Paray-Douaville town hall can marry you if one of you, or one of your parents, lives there or has lived there for at least a month. Otherwise, the civil wedding happens in your own town. For a religious ceremony, the château also offers the village church.

Yes: the château is 40 minutes from Paris, 30 from Chartres and 20 from Rambouillet. Up to 88 of them sleep on the estate. For the others, we give you the addresses, ready to share with your loved ones.

The venue lists a party that can run until 5 am. Up to 88 of your guests sleep on the estate, in the château, the park cottages or the farm next door. For the others, we give you the addresses, ready to share with your loved ones.

Your contract is governed by French law, and also written in English.

In the Orangerie salon, a 50 m² former winter garden full of light, with a mirror, rails, a sewing kit, heating and air conditioning. The Boudoir salon, also 50 m², welcomes the other getting-ready party, and the château has suites and guest rooms of its own.

The glass pavilion takes over, with its 360° view of the château and the park, or a 180 m² clear tent. Clear umbrellas, grey blankets and white gazebos are at your disposal.

Yes. There are 130 parking spaces on site, the glass pavilion keeps everyone in the same room, and the children have their own walled garden and playroom, with childminders. If a grandparent needs a level path or a ground-floor room, tell us: we check it with the château.

Six 18th-century salons with crystal chandeliers, panelling and old fireplaces, and 210 m² of museum rooms on the history of the estate, its journeys and its hunts. The château can arrange one-hour guided tours for groups of 15 to 25, in French or English.

Yes, and if you already have a vendor in mind, they're welcome. Your photos are included, with our photographers. If you already have yours, we welcome them into the team and adjust your price. The château has its own specifications for vendors, and we check them with it.
