Wedding in chateau de Saint Martin du Tertre near Paris

September 7, 2026

This gorgeous wedding in château Saint Martin du Tertre near Paris has reunited 220 guests and required the work of over 50 people.

Guests with Lebanese, Persian, French and American origins were present, and this blend of cultures dictated the way we have planned the whole weekend.

On the day one, guests were invited to a traditional sunset Seine river cruise. Lebanese chef was proposing traditional mezze, Japanese catering company was offering sushi made in front of the guests, and French bartenders were serving signature drinks. And of course, no great wedding weekend can start without the great music!

Persian wedding in chateau de Saint Martin du Tertre

Before the wedding reception in chateau de Saint Martin du Tertre, the guests have attended a catholic ceremony in one of the Parisian churches dear to the bride.

In the chateau, another ceremony, Persian sofreh aghd, was organized. It takes a little over one hour to get from Paris to the chateau de Saint Martin du Tertre, and to help people to relax after the journey, champagne, oysters and finger foods were offered.

After this small break, the Persian ceremony officiated by groom’s best friend took place.

One of the reasons I love planning grand weddings at chateau de Saint Martin du Tertre, is that you can be playful with the layout. Dinners indoors are as spectacular and dramatical as those hosted outdoors, which makes a rain plan pretty easy to accept.

In this particular case, the cocktail hour and the dancing party were hosted indoors, while dinner took place in front of the chateau.

If you envision to host a wedding in chateau de Saint Martin du Tertre, beware that dining and dancing in one room is only possible if your guest count is limited to around 120-140 people.

For parties with 200-220 guests, the dancefloor would need to be installed in a separate room.

Outdoor dinners at chateau de SMDT are always spectacular

Most commonly, couples choose to host dinners in front of the chateau, to enjoy the grandeur of the view. Dancefloor is often installed outdoors too, but dancing is only possible outdoors until 11 pm. After that time, the party needs to move indoors.

The chateau proposes accommodation for 14 guests, and the rooms are pretty elegant and very comfortable. That being said, even if you reserve all the rooms of the chateau, the ground level of the chateau, as well as the park, remain accessible to vendors that will be installing the following event that is taking place the day after your wedding.

This is why we recommend travelling back to Paris after the party, unless you are taking an early flight the day after the wedding.

Wedding in chateau de Saint Martin du Tertre is guaranteed to be grand and spectacular – this chateau is an ideal choice for a couple looking for a majestic location for their big celebration. For intimate weddings with less than 80 guests, we would recommend booking another castle, as the grandeur of the place is not adapted for smaller events. The place is likely to feel empty, unless you invest a very significant budget in the décor and furniture.

Another observation that we think is important to share, is that weddings in chateau de Saint Martin du Tertre require a very solid floral budget. Many couples believe that a grand venue only needs a minimal décor to make it look amazing, but it is the contrary. In the chateau de Saint Martin du Tertre, you can’t play small with flowers or candles. Grand staircase, chimney in the red salon, floral arrangements for the main ball room with its 6 meter tall ceilings – all these areas require you to drawn them in florals, otherwise, it would feel empty.
