You can start your wedding weekend with a wine tasting in the cellar of the chateau. Let a professional sommelier tell you the story of wines produced in the area, and enjoy the unusual settings. To continue the night, why not to host an open air, candle-lit dinner in front of the chateau?
You can even dare dancing as of the first night. Because who said you needed to wait until the wedding day to start having fun?
If dancing feels too much for the first night, you can opt for an open air concert or a garden party with light cocktails and snacks. Add a flower bar where ladies can create their own floral crowns, and voilà, your themed party is ready!
On the wedding day, guests are invited to have a brunch in one of the venue’s numerous gardens. Whilst bridal party is getting ready, others can enjoy the pool or play golf in the Golf du Senonais club (located only 15 minutes driving distance away).
The beauty of hosting a wedding in chateau de Vallery is that you can choose between various spaces and never repeat yourself. Every moment of the weekend can be hosted in a different area, so that your guests keep discovering the place again and again. Numerous indoor areas allow for a very elegant plan B, should the weather be capricious.
Your ceremony can take place in the Greek garden, or on the lawn in front of the castle. The cocktail hour can take place in the garden in front of the chateau. My favourite location for the dinner is surely the Grande gallerie – a fabulous ballroom with a very Renaissance feel to it. Dramatic draping on the ceiling adds charm to the space that otherwise would feel cold. Spacious enough to host a dinner for 60-80 people and a dancefloor in the same place, this room is perfect for the wedding reception.
The cherry on the cake – you can have fireworks that will be launched from the Medieval part of the chateau. What a view!
The third day is typically the official pool party day. Get a dj to transform this moment in to a cool, Ibiza-inspired after-party with energising mocktails and fresh fruit salads. Previously, we have brought in an ice cream cart that was a huge success!
