Description

The Château de Cognac overlooking the Charente River was first a 10th century fortress intended to stop the Norman invasions, then in the 15th century a stately home where one of the most illustrious kings of France, François I, was born. Baron Otard, who founded his Cognac House in 1795, quickly understood to what extent the thickness of the walls offered exceptional and unique conditions for the aging of his eaux-de-vie. He then acquired the Castle, thus saving it from total destruction. The Château de Cognac, which has become a historic monument, is today a cognac house. We offer different tours, all at the heart of two stories: the History of France and the history of Baron Otard and D’Ussé cognacs. Welcome to Château de Cognac!

Best iconic place in Cognac in France

For my wedding, we wanted a place full of heritage and history where our friends and family could discover a piece of France and have fun. Chateau de Cognac is the perfect match: Birthplace of a famous french king that has been presented during the guided tour (we could in the meantime organize our shooting), and the amazing discovery of cognac know how. The cocktails were perfect, the place incredible. I loved the rooftop cocktail bar for the friday and the gala room for the saturday. The cherry on the cake: the amazing team who was so agile and flexible!

A perfect moment! Our guests are still talking about it!

We had reserved the castle terrace for our civil wedding cocktail reception. We had selected a limited number of cocktails in advance to facilitate service (four cocktails to choose from and two mocktails). We had a wonderful time, and six months later, our guests are still talking about it! The view is magnificent, especially at sunset, and the service and the quality of the cocktails are impeccable.

Thank you to the castle for this wonderful moment. We fell in love with this place full of history during a visit and it was a dream to get married there. It is now done! Thank you to the entire team at the castle for their adaptability. You responded to our wishes and allowed us to make our wedding unforgettable.

Wedding in April

We got married at the castle on April 9, 2022. The castle team and especially Marion, Karine and Victor were very available throughout our preparations until the uninstallation to advise us and inform us. Our guests were amazed by the beauty of the room which is also quite large and allows for several spaces (reception, dance floor, cocktail if it rains, play area for children, etc.). A big thank you to the castle team for having us

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Château de Cognac?

Every wedding is unique and magnificent. The most beautiful wedding is one that perfectly reflects the love and complicity of the bride and groom, creating a magical and unforgettable atmosphere. I remember an outdoor wedding, under the stars and fairy lights, with the sweet melody of a violin accompanying the bride and groom's entrance. It was magnificent!

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

Communication is key. Planning a wedding can be a real challenge with all the decisions to make (venue, guests, attire, etc.), and it's easy to get lost in the details. Good communication between both partners helps ensure we're on the same page. Don't hesitate to gather all your questions in a single email or during a meeting to ensure clarity and precision. Good support is also a plus! It's not just your family, witnesses, friends, but also a wedding planner who will take care of everything.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of the most memorable touches I've seen at a wedding was a memory wall where guests could leave little notes, photos, or stories shared with the bride and groom. This wall was decorated with symbolic elements of their relationship: postcards from their travels, movie tickets from their first outings together, etc.
