Why we love Château Hermitage de Combas

A drive of palm trees, a white château raised on a fortress of 1260, and vines as far as you can see, between Béziers and Pézenas. You live on the estate with your guests, the party in the Orangerie and the beds a short walk away. What they will talk about on the way home: breakfast all together, the morning after.

  • 300

    guests at table, in the Orangerie

    an 800 m² terrace for the drinks

  • A 6-hectare park

    in the middle of the vines, and the party all yours

    the whole estate yours by adding the Hameau, up to 132 guests sleeping on site

  • The heated pool of the Château Hermitage de Combas seen from above, white parasols, loungers and cypresses around

    A heated pool

    hidden among the trees, for a swim the morning after

    and the spa, its hammam and its sauna

  • The party

    • Ceremony in the garden

      under the park's trees, along the Allée des Statues, or in the Mediterranean Garden facing the château

    • Until dawn

      the Orangerie and its two side lounges, drinks and dinner under cover, and cool in summer

    • A lounge for the children

      next to the party, and reception spaces open to wheelchairs

      300 parking spaces kept for your guests

The area

Servian is a wine village five minutes away, with a garden laid out in old basalt quarries, the Jardin de Saint-Adrien. Pézenas, Molière's town of art and history, holds its market every Saturday. In Béziers, the nine Fonseranes locks climb the Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the beaches of Valras are 25 km away.

Who is Fervenza?

Fervenza is a French all-inclusive wedding company. With Émilie and the whole team, we’re already planning the weddings of 2027 and 2028.

  • French company, licensed live-event producer Your contract is governed by French law
  • Covered by professional liability insurance
How much does a wedding at Château Hermitage de Combas cost?

From $68,000, 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.

Can the price change?

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

What if one of our suppliers can’t make it?

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.

Can we insure our wedding?

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.

What if we booked the château directly?

You can, it's a beautiful house. The château rents you the Orangerie, its furniture and 14 apartments from Friday evening to Sunday noon, and shares its address book. You then bring together the caterer, the drinks, the service, the flowers, the music 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.

How many guests can we invite?

Up to 300 at table in the Orangerie, with its 800 m² terrace for the drinks. For something more intimate, the Salon des Vignes, in the old Chai du Pigeonnier, seats up to 97. And 52 of your guests sleep on the estate, up to 132 with the Hameau.

Which dates are still free?

Tell us your date, we check with the château and reply in writing. The estate welcomes weddings all year round, from summer in the garden to winter in the Orangerie.

Can we have a secular ceremony on site?

Yes: under the park's trees, along the Allée des Statues, or in the Mediterranean Garden facing the château. Your words, your officiant, and the château behind you. A religious ceremony on the estate is possible too.

Can we have our civil wedding in Servian?

In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the château. Servian 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.

Our guests are flying in. Is it easy for them?

Yes: Béziers Cap d'Agde airport is 13 km away, Béziers station 21 km, about 4 h 15 from Paris by direct TGV, and Montpellier 55 minutes by road. Once here, up to 132 of them can sleep on the estate.

Coming from abroad: how does it work?

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

Is the estate all ours?

The Orangerie, its terrace and the Mediterranean Garden are yours for the party, and 52 of your guests sleep on site. Add the Hameau and the Chai studios, and the whole estate is yours for the weekend: 44 apartments, up to 132 people.

How late can the party go?

The château sets no finishing time. The party can carry on in the Orangerie until dawn, and your guests walk back to their apartments.

What if it rains?

The Orangerie hosts drinks and dinner under cover, beneath its beams, light pouring through its tall windows. Its two side lounges become a sofa corner for the grown-ups and a room for the children.

Where do we get ready?

In the château's garden-level apartments, with your witnesses and your closest friends, a few steps from the ceremony. The château offers you the newlyweds' apartment, to find each other again after the party.

Will our families be comfortable?

Yes: the reception spaces and some apartments are accessible, with ground-floor apartments for the grandparents. A lounge beside the Orangerie becomes the children's room during the evening, a playground for 3 to 10 year-olds waits in the Prairie, and 300 parking spaces are kept for your guests.

Who cooks our dinner?

The caterer you choose with us: the château imposes no one, and the Orangerie has its own catering kitchen for the service. You taste the menu before deciding, and the estate's own Côtes de Thongue wines can be on the table.

What about the heat in July?

We place the ceremony late in the afternoon, under the park's trees, and drinks under the palms of the terrace. Dinner can move into the Orangerie, which is air-conditioned. And the next morning, the heated pool is right there.
