Chateau de Villette

I fell in love with Chateau de Villette the moment I saw it. This historic home is only 35 minutes from Paris and has all of the splendor of the French manors that this country is known for. The chateau offers 6 rooms for 12 guests total onsite, which means your wedding day here can be super intimate! Chateau de Villete has gorgeous indoor and outdoor options, including a fountain, gardens, and stunning interiors to be used as a backdrop for your wedding day. No matter where you choose to host your wedding day, you won’t find a more elegant option! 

Chateau de Courtomer 

Located near some of the dreamiest countryside of Normandy, Chateau de Courtomer is a beautiful and intimate option for your French wedding day. This French wedding venue perfectly blends the elegance of days gone by with the needs of the 21^st century. Chateau de Courtomer is a stunning stone building in the fields lending itself to both luxurious affairs – and those with a more bohemian vibe. The staff here is bilingual, which also makes planning a breeze! Definitely worth a look if a countryside wedding is more your style! 

Shangri la Paris

Dreaming of a Parisian wedding? Consider the incredible Shangri la Paris overlooking the Eiffel Tower and River Seine! It will give you the luxury you’re looking for with the landmarks we all love in Paris. Shangri la Paris is a truly central location in the city of lights for your wedding day – full of the grandeur and luxury you could dream of for your wedding! This is definitely one of the best wedding venues in France (and Paris, too!).
