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 d'Ermenonville cost?

From $74,000, all-inclusive, for about 100 guests on a weekday from January to March: the venue, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. On a Saturday, or from May to October, the price follows the château's seasons. The exact price for your date, 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 whole estate and its 50 rooms, with its kitchen and its cellar. You then bring together the flowers, the music, the photographer, the running of the day and the welcome for your guests. 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 140 at table with the dance floor in the Radziwill salon, 170 without it. For something more intimate, around 70 guests is a good fit, and the château, with its 50 rooms, is all yours.

Which dates are still free?

Tell us your date, we check with the château and reply in writing. It takes a break in December, and its softest rates run from January to March, on weekdays.

Can we have a secular ceremony on site?

Yes: in the English park, facing the château and the water. To arrive, a rowing boat across the pond or, on request, a horse-drawn carriage through the park. You write the ceremony that feels like you, we set the scene.

Can we have our civil wedding in Ermenonville?

In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the château. Ermenonville 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: Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport is 20 minutes away, Paris 40 by the A1, Orly and Beauvais about an hour. The château can arrange a transfer from Roissy, its team speaks English, and 50 rooms wait for your guests on site.

Coming from abroad: how does it work?

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

How late can the party go?

Until 3 am, with the terrace and the main courtyard yours to step out onto. And for your guests, bed is at the château: its 50 rooms are theirs.

Who cooks for our wedding?

The château's own kitchen, with everything homemade on site from seasonal and local produce, and wines from the house's own estates. We build the menu with them, you taste it beforehand, and it is included in your price.

Where do we get ready?

In the château's suites, looking onto the park or the moat. One of you on each side, if you'd like to see each other for the first time at the ceremony, then your first photos on the grand staircase.

Can we have fireworks?

Yes, on request. It is fired in the park just before dessert, and your guests watch it from the terrace, above the water. A carriage arrival or a horse show can join the day too.

Is this really the château from Les Visiteurs?

Yes. The château was the setting of the film Les Visiteurs, in 1993, then of its sequel. Your film-buff guests will recognise the facade on its moat.

Will our grandparents be comfortable?

Yes: they park for free right at the château, and dinner and their room are under the same roof. The château has some arrangements for guests with reduced mobility: tell us who is coming and we check room by room with the château.

Can we bring our own vendors?

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, it is the château's own kitchen that cooks.

And if it rains?

The rain plan is the château's salons: it has seven reception salons, among them the Radziwill salon and its crystal chandeliers. Your guests stay dry and the party keeps its light. We choose with you what moves indoors.
