Your wedding at Château de Pradines

From $110,000, 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 estate, with linen, the set-up the day before and a tent if it rains, and introduces its caterer. You then bring together the wines and spirits, flowers and decor, furniture, music and photographer. With us, it's all in your price, every choice stays yours, and the château keeps its rate. You come to get married.

Up to 150 at table, on the 400 m² terrace under the century-old plane trees, and up to 150 for a cocktail in the park. The house caterer's table is laid from 100 adults, which suits our base of about 100 guests.

Tell us your date, we check with the château and reply in writing. The family opens the estate for only a few weekends a year, so the sooner we ask, the better.

Yes: under the century-old trees of the park, in the rose garden, or at the foot of the grand staircase, by the old fountain it wraps around. 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. Grambois 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, and the ceremony at the château.

Yes: they land at Marseille airport or arrive at Aix-en-Provence TGV station, then drive up the A51 motorway into the Luberon. The estate has its own parking. The château has bedrooms, and around it we share the guest houses of Grambois and La Tour-d'Aigues, ready to send.

Until 4 am, in the château's former private theatre, now its dance floor. Around midnight, a buffet brings everyone back to the floor. We confirm the château's exact times for your date, in writing.

Rain plan: a tent goes up on the estate, part of the château's hire, only if the sky asks for it. And the party already happens indoors, in the theatre.

At the château: the bridal suite is part of the hire, and its panelled rooms with gilded mirrors make lovely light for the photos. One of you on each side, if you'd like to see each other for the first time at the ceremony.

The century-old plane trees shade the terrace, and we set the ceremony for late afternoon. In July the sun sets around 9.20 pm: drinks in the golden hour, dinner as the string lights come on, and the pool waiting for the morning after.

Your contract is governed by French law, and also written in 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. For the table, the château works with its own house caterer, and we build the menu with them.
