Hotel D’Evreux Weddings
Planning your wedding in Hotel d’Evreux has numerous advantages. It is located in the heart of Paris, right on the iconic Place Vendome, which means that your guests don’t have to travel to get there. You will find numerous hotels around including the famous Ritz, Le Meurice, Castille and Westin.
Despite its confusing name, hotel d’Evreux is not a hotel, but a private events venue. The word “hotel” is used in French to designate private mansions and townhouses, not only hotels.

Background
Hotel d’Evreux is a historical location that has been constructed for a wealthy French financier at the beginning of the 18th century. It was a private residence before becoming a luxury event venue. Today, Hotel d’Evreux hosts gala dinners, VIP events, and catwalks during Paris Fashion Weeks. If you love historical décor with regal flair, you should definitely consider getting married here!
Capacity
Hotel d’Evreux is perfectly adapted to host a wedding with up to fifty guests. The place is composed of six interconnecting rooms of different sizes, but only Salon Diamant (below) can welcome a seated dinner for the whole group. If you don’t mind separating guests into three different rooms, you can seat up to eighty people or so.
In case if you plan a bigger celebration with 100+ guests, you can also use their Salle de Tirages, a spacious ballroom situated on the ground level. It is less glamorous but has an excellent capacity. And you can always enjoy the cocktail and the ceremony in the rooms above.
