Description

Spaces and capacities To make your wedding reception a most prestigious celebration, the Château de Dio offers several spaces: The main room and its dance floor, former stables of the estate, accommodate 130 guests, a separate part of which can be reserved for the youngest. The main courtyard allows you to accommodate 120 people for the secular ceremony. This open-air space is the ideal place to organize this ceremony.

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?

About a quarter of the couples who celebrate their wedding at the Dio Castle come from a foreign country for this occasion. It is a dream for them to celebrate this special day in a castle that is a symbol of romance and prestige that they do not have in their country. This is the case for Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, ... . A wedding that left a mark on me was that of Brynnan, a young American from San Francisco who booked the Dio Castle and organized her entire wedding from home. Without wanting any help, she found and negotiated with a caterer, florist, photographer, DJ. When she arrived in front of the castle, Brynnan jumped for joy, shouting "this is exactly what I wanted". The guests were not only Americans because her father made her half-brothers and sisters in the four corners of the world and they attended the three days of reception. It was a joyful reunion, a simple party but so full of happiness.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

The two most important parameters are the venue and the photographer. The venue must be up to the standard of this unique day, a rare venue rather than a wedding factory. The photographs must be those of a professional wedding photographer who has the artistic side that others do not have and who will be able to bring out the emotion of the shots that you will look at all your life. If you have a limited budget, prioritize the venue and the photographer by "cutting back" on the caterer, your guests are not coming to have a gourmet meal but to party with you.
