Why Choose a Château or Estate on the French Riviera for Your Wedding?

How to Choose the Right Château or Estate for Your Wedding
Define Your Guest Count Early
Some wedding venues on the French Riviera accommodate up to 200 people, others are better for smaller groups. Check seated and standing capacity and available event areas.
Check What’s Included in the Rental
Reception tents, furniture, lighting, catering access, and parking, each venue offers different services. Ask for a detailed list of what’s provided and what may require additional rental.
Consider Accessibility for Guests
Choose a location with easy access from Nice Airport, the train stations in Cannes or Antibes, and major highways, especially if you're expecting international guests.
Be Aware of Noise and Timing Restrictions
Some estates may impose restrictions on music volume or end times. Make sure DJs, live music, and dancing are allowed until your desired hour.
Tips for a Successful Wedding on the French Riviera
Book Your Venue Well in Advance
Wedding venues in the South of France are in high demand, especially from May to September. We recommend booking your venue at least one year in advance.
Work with Experienced Local Vendors
Hire local photographers, caterers, and wedding planners familiar with the area and venue type. They’ll save you time and help avoid common planning issues.
Have a Weather Contingency Plan
Even in the South of France, rain is possible. Choose a venue that offers an indoor alternative, marquee, or tent to ensure a smooth event, regardless of the forecast.
Plan Seamless Guest Logistics
Prepare clear signage, shuttle services, parking, and nearby accommodation. Sharing a logistics guide with your invitations helps reassure guests and simplifies travel.
