Why we love Château Les Carrasses

A turreted château from 1886 on its rise, a sea of vines rolling to the Pyrenees, and a period glasshouse to say yes in front of. Here, every one of your guests sleeps on the estate, five minutes from the Canal du Midi. And in the evening, dinner is served on the terrace while the sun slips behind the vines.

The area

The estate stands above the vines between Quarante and Capestang, five minutes from the Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In Capestang, the Wednesday and Sunday morning market sets up under the plane trees, at the foot of the collegiate church, whose 45-metre bell tower looks out from the Pyrenees to Narbonne. For the day before, the estate's bikes and the towpath.

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 Les Carrasses cost?

From $58,000, all-inclusive, for one day between November and March, with 30 to 90 guests: the venue, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. The full weekend and the months from April to October cost more. 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 its spaces with its furniture and service, and its kitchen cooks the meals. You then bring together the photographer, the hair and make-up, the officiant, the flowers, the decor, the music, the sound and lights, and your guests' trips to the château. 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 90, and every one of them can sleep on the estate. From November to March the château welcomes weddings from 30 guests; in April, May and October from 70, in June and September from 80.

Which dates are still free?

Tell us your date, we check with the château and reply in writing. It hosts its weddings outside July and August.

Can we have a secular ceremony on site?

Yes: in front of the glasshouse, the period conservatory in the park, in the gardens under the palms, on the panoramic terrace, or in the château's hall for a winter wedding. You write the ceremony that feels like you, we set the scene.

Can we have our civil wedding in Quarante?

In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the château. Quarante 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 and its TGV station are 20 minutes away, Narbonne too, Béziers Cap d'Agde airport 35 minutes and Montpellier 1 h 10. Once here, everyone stays on the estate, a few steps from the party.

Coming from abroad: how does it work?

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

Can we choose our caterer?

At Les Carrasses, the cooking is the house's own, from a restaurant holding 2 toques in the Gault & Millau, with its kitchen garden and the estate's wines. We build the menu with the chef, you taste it at the château, and it is included in your price.

Where does the party happen?

In the Salle des Chais, the château's old wine cellar, with its bar and its dance floor: the room is made for dancing to the very end. Around midnight, if you like, a cheese and charcuterie board. We confirm the château's exact times for your date, in writing.

What if it rains?

The château provides a marquee, and the candlelit Salle des Chais welcomes your dinner. For a winter wedding, the ceremony can also take place in the château's hall.

Will other guests of the estate be there?

Your wedding spaces are privatised, and your guests stay in the houses around them. Depending on dates, the whole estate can be booked just for you; we tell you in writing what is possible for yours.

Where do we get ready?

In the Grand Salon, the suite at the heart of the château, looking over the terrace, the pool and the vines, when it is free. In the morning, breakfast is brought to your rooms, to share with your closest friends.

Will our grandparents and children be comfortable?

Yes: the estate is adapted for reduced mobility, with suitable houses kept for those who need them. For the children, a mini-farm with its goats, hens and donkey, a playground, and baby cots free of charge.
