--------
Whatever the season, time will stand still for your special celebration, for a spiritual journey into the pale light of dawn. The estate will become your exclusive venue.
THE DAY BEFORE Settle in the day before the wedding to welcome your guests to the chateau and its historic rooms. In the evening, discover fine wines in the 12th-century vaulted cellars. At dusk, enjoy a tagine together in the Oriental Pavilion. Then, surrounded by the lights and scents of the Orient, enjoy mint tea, honey pastries and perhaps even a belly dancer...
PRELUDES AT THE CHATEAU In the morning, already at your reception venue, take the time to relax. Finish organising your big day at your leisure; add the finishing touches to the floral decorations, the seating plan or the preparations for the children of honour. The hairdresser and make-up artist await the bride under the watchful eyes of the photographer and cameraman.
WEDDING CEREMONY Some choose the church and its mausoleum of the Princesses and Princes of Condé just opposite. For others, getting married in a castle means a flower-covered chuppah set up in the Rose Garden, under the large chestnut tree or at the foot of the seven-trunk Sycamore tree. It is a time for spirituality.
COCKTAIL PARTY, DINNER AND RECEPTION For the big day, buffets are set up in the Arbour and the Music Room. The entire park is equipped with a sound system, alternating with a jazz band in the Hanging Gardens. Later, a candlelit dinner is held in the Salle des Tentures (a trompe-l'oeil of over 500 m² of precious fabrics). In the park, a thousand torches will burn until dawn.
GRAND NIGHT After dinner, guests return to the park for a musical fireworks display. The final touch to your event: welcome the wedding cake, then the champagne pyramid, and finally open the ball in the Grande Galerie. Your grand night with no time limit.

- JJennifer & Max05/01/2026The destination wedding of our dreamsThe destination wedding of our dreamsIt has taken me some time to write this review, not because I didn’t have anything to say, but because I’ve struggled to find the words to do justice to the magic that was our wedding at Château de Vallery. We are an Australian couple who dreamed of a destination wedding, and on my very first search online, I stumbled across this enchanting castle. From the moment Jonathan answered my call, I knew this place was extraordinary. He was warm, generous, and incredibly patient, walking me through every detail with such care and enthusiasm. Our first call lasted three hours, filled with chatting and laughter, and by the end, I was absolutely certain this was where I wanted to get married. Bear in mind, I had never visited the venue and hadn’t even considered any others. Everyone around me thought I was crazy for booking a venue sight unseen, but Jonathan gave me a sense of trust and belief that words can’t fully capture. Throughout the planning process, despite the time difference, Jonathan and his entire team were always there for us. Their dedication and passion made the experience seamless, and I can honestly say it was the most relaxing and enjoyable wedding planning journey—even without a wedding planner! The first time I saw the castle in person was just a few days before our wedding, and it was even more breathtaking than I had imagined. Our three-day celebration was nothing short of magical, like something out of a fairy tale. The staff made us feel completely at home; nothing was too hard or impossible for them. Every single member of the team contributed to creating what we genuinely feel were the best three days of our lives. Our guests were equally enchanted—many remarked that it was the most incredible wedding they had ever attended. To any couple considering Château de Vallery, we cannot recommend it highly enough. If you’re on the fence, let this be your sign: book it. You will never regret it, and you’ll come back to this review to thank me. To the Château de Vallery team: Max and I owe you more than we could ever express. You made our dream wedding a reality, and there will never be enough words to convey how honored and blessed we feel to have celebrated the most monumental moments of our lives at your breathtaking venue. Thank you for everything.

- TTarikwa05/01/2026A magical placeA magical placeWe were fortunate enough to celebrate our wedding at Château de Vallery during the April season, and it was simply magical, like something out of a fairy tale. The setting is absolutely exceptional: nature in full bloom, and especially the enchanting wisteria, enhanced our ceremony, making it simply sumptuous. Every corner of the château exudes elegance, authenticity, and poetry. We would also like to thank the entire Château team—incredible, professional, kind, and attentive people who greatly contributed to making our stay an unforgettable experience. Everything came together to make our wedding exceed our wildest dreams. We highly recommend Château de Vallery to anyone dreaming of an exceptional wedding!We were fortunate enough to celebrate our wedding at Château de Vallery during the April season, and it was simply magical, like something out of a fairy tale.

- JJulie & Mark05/01/2026A truly incredible welcomeA truly incredible welcomeFrom the very moment we set foot on the grounds of Château de Vallery, we knew this was the place where we wanted to get married. It wasn’t just the warm, friendly, and truly incredible welcome from Marie-Ange and the rest of the team; it was the energy of the space itself: the eclectic mix of styles (Renaissance, Medieval, Oriental, etc.), the care poured into every corner and the proximity to Paris. In short, we felt at home immediately. The team was exceptional from the very first point of contact to the final hug goodbye after our wedding. Their responsiveness, kindness and professionalism surpassed every expectation we had. Whether it was a sudden change in the weather forecast or simply a detail we hadn’t thought about yet, they were always one step ahead, offering guidance, support and an abundance of helpful contacts and advice. One of the things we appreciated most was the freedom to visit as often as we needed during the planning process. Those visits helped us feel even more connected to the venue and we’ve even returned since the wedding, just to share a cup of tea and catch up. This place has become incredibly special to us, and we know it’s somewhere we’ll return to for many years to come. We truly could not recommend this venue more. Choosing it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to the entire team for helping make our day unforgettable. Their warmth, generosity and genuine love for what they do made all the difference.
