A step back in time at Château Bouffémont

Old-world glamour

A fairytale wedding in a Parisian château infused with old-world glamour. That was the vision the bride and groom had for their wedding, inspired by the opulent grandeur of Versailles. The château de Versailles being unavailable for hire they went one better and chose Château Bouffémont as the perfect wedding venue to bring their vision to life!

Timeless elegance

Timeless elegance was the order of the day with a black-tie dress code, guests were invited to attend in full evening dress for the ladies and tuxedos for the gentlemen. The bride and groom chose their attire accordingly, the bride’s dress complemented with a dramatic train, embroidered veil, gloves and a bouquet of white roses. The groom was equally dapper in his Tom Ford black tuxedo, bow tie, white-rose boutonnière and cufflinks designed by his future wife.

Romance and tradition

Château Bouffémont offers a variety of spaces to host the different moments of the day, in this case beginning with a first look on the balcony overlooking the gardens. The ceremony itself took place in the gardens and was also very traditional with an all-white floral design, a harpist and violinist who played in the bride to Mendelssohn’s famous Wedding March. The reception was then held in the lower grounds with gold features added into the color palette for the decor bringing with it a romantic, glamourous touch for the rest of the proceedings under the glow of the twinkling string lights put up for the occasion.

Everything was in place to celebrate into the early hours: signature cocktails, DJs, dinner, toasts, speeches and a dance display topped off by the wedding cake presentation complete with champagne tower and cold sparklers.

Choosing the perfect venue for your multi-day wedding

The historic Château Bouffémont, situated just 30 kilometers from Paris, offers an elegant and refined setting for private parties, events and weddings.

Choosing a wedding venue is a particularly tricky task and making the right choice is about far more than just aesthetics. The venue is the place where all the main events of the day will take place, from the welcome drinks through to the evening dinner and dancing.

It is vital that you find a venue that is not only aesthetically pleasing but that is also designed to facilitate the logistics and flows as your guests move around the venue at different times of the day and night. It’s also important to select a wedding venue which offers a broad range of services and works with a selection of top vendors to provide all the additional services you require: DJ, caterer, wedding photographer and videographer, florist… and the list goes on.

These considerations are even more important when planning multi-day weddings as your guests will be present at the wedding venue for a number of days, so you will need a space that offers a pleasant, relaxing setting, flexible and versatile spaces and the capacity to accommodate your guests in style. 

At Château Bouffémont we specialize in quiet luxury and refined elegance, the perfect choice when organizing a multi-day wedding. Our reception rooms offer a variety of spaces for hosting all kinds of activities, a welcome dinner the day before the wedding, a brunch the day after and even excursions into the French capital given its position close to Paris.

The chateau’s setting, close to the Montmorency forest, along with its beautiful gardens and stunning architecture make it not only a great aesthetic choice, but also a smart choice with its easy access to Paris and its international transport connections, the extensive list of wedding services offered and its well-designed interiors that make organizing your multi-day wedding a walk in the park.

A STRESS-FREE DESTINATION WEDDING IN FRANCE

Planning a wedding is a huge task and can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re getting married abroad. So how can you take the stress out of planning a wedding ceremony abroad? This was precisely the question Château Bouffémont asked themselves when looking for a solution to help couples planning a destination wedding in France.

Our answer was to produce an exclusive collection of curated all-inclusive wedding packages. We did this by teaming up with the experienced wedding event planner Marie Di Lauro to develop a selection of  all-inclusive wedding deals that offer hassle-free all-in weddings at our luxury wedding venue here in France, located just 30 kilometers from Paris.

Our curated wedding packages, created by our luxury wedding planner, take all the heavy lifting out of wedding planning, but are flexible enough to create a unique and truly memorable wedding experience.

How does the all-inclusive wedding package work ?

The process for putting together your destination wedding package is extremely simple and is composed of five steps :

1. Choose a wedding date depending on when you want to get married and your budget for the exclusive private hire of the château.

2. Choose from one of our three curated wedding packages – Elegance, Prestige or Excellence – depending on the services you require and your wedding budget. At this stage you can also choose your preferred color palette.

3. Personalize your French château wedding package (wedding ceremony, additional catering options, music and entertainment).

4. Add in additional services from our hand-picked partner wedding vendors (photographer, videographer, hair and make-up, babysitting, cake, stationary etc.).

5. Finally, if you want to continue the festivities the day after your wedding why not add in a next-day brunch and accommodation to complete the package?

What does a curated wedding package include ?

The exclusive hire of the whole château and estate includes access to five function rooms, gardens and the natural park, the bridal suite for preparations and photos, security, post-wedding housekeeping and parking for 80 vehicles. Our Elegance, Prestige and Excellence wedding packages come with different options but all include all the wedding organization and the services of a wedding event planner, the wedding dinner service from pre-dinner drinks and hors-d’oeuvres to the wedding cake, the provision of staff, furniture, floral decoration and tableware, and on-the-day wedding management.
