A Charming French Setting
Set within hectares of stunning parkland, Château de Courcelles has all the ingredients to make a truly romantic French wedding. A historic Château, perfect gardens and surrounding countryside that creates a magical backdrop. There’s a sense of understated grandeur here; without feeling overly formal, it has the atmosphere of a private country house where guests will feel completely at ease.
Every corner of the venue should be discovered, via an elegant outdoor drinks reception, portraits around the maze or soaking up the sunshine on the terrace with your bridesmaids before getting ready.

A Combination of Beautiful Spaces
There are so many opportunities at this French wedding venue to use a variety of spaces and create different atmospheres throughout the wedding day. With grand reception rooms, intimate lounges and the bright and airy Orangerie, we have flexibility when helping you plan your celebration.
The Orangerie is particularly gorgeous; it offers a light-filled setting for larger receptions, with views across the estate. We love it because it allows couples to celebrate on a grander scale without losing the character of the surroundings.

Food is At The Heart
Exceptional food is a non-negotiable for me. It’s such an important part of a wedding, and it’s a part that this venue really excels in. Home to La Table de Courcelles, its own gastronomic restaurant, the château places food and hospitality firmly at the heart of the offering. With a dedicated chef and kitchen team, couples can enjoy the expertise of a venue where dining is already a central part of the experience.
Think beautifully considered menus, delicate and colourful canapés, seasonal ingredients and thoughtful presentation. A wedding breakfast should be more than simply another part of the schedule, it’s one of the moments everyone is guaranteed to remember.

A Wedding Weekend
I love being able to give you the opportunity to turn one special day into a longer celebration and Château de Courcelles does just that! With 20 individually designed bedrooms, the couple and some of their guests can stay within the estate.
Picture this; arriving the day before to an intimate dinner and cocktails as the excitement builds. Then, you wake up in the most beautiful French setting with your favourite people, tucking into a light breakfast while you get ready for the celebrations. The next day, you remember you’ve got another whole day of enjoying the space. You catch up with your friends and family and remember the great ever-lasting details from the day before. It's these moments around the wedding itself that make a destination celebration so memorable.

Lucy Ann at Château de Courcelles
A beautiful venue provides the foundations, but it's the thoughtful details that bring a wedding to life. At Château de Courcelles, I can imagine so many different directions working beautifully. Classic French styling with soft florals, candlelight and beautifully dressed tables. Or something a little more contemporary, allowing the historic architecture and natural surroundings to do much of the talking. I love the idea of embracing the character of a venue rather than trying to transform it completely.
Thoughtful touches, considered styling, beautiful food and a carefully planned flow to the day. The aim is to create something that feels completely personal to the couple, while allowing the natural beauty of the French setting to shine.
If you’re considering a French Château for your 2027 or 2028 wedding, I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming of.
