Whether you envision a romantic outdoor ceremony or a lavish indoor reception, this extraordinary château offers the perfect blend of historic elegance and modern comfort.
After a romantic ceremony in the majestic gardens—complete with a grand staircase perfect for unforgettable entrances—guests can enjoy cocktail hour in front of the château’s stunning façade. Depending on the size of your celebration, dinner can be hosted inside the exquisite Painting Gallery or across three beautifully connected reception rooms.
When it’s time to dance the night away, Château de Ferrières offers one of the rarest luxuries among historic venues: there are no restrictions on dancing hours and no decibel limits indoors. Whether you dream of a live band, a headline DJ, or an extended after-party, your celebration can continue as long as your feet desire.
At Château de Ferrières, you can host your ceremony and cocktail reception outdoors amidst the beautiful gardens. For dinner and dancing, events must move indoors, as outdoor music is permitted only until 11:00 PM. Fireworks are not allowed on the property; however, drone shows and video mapping are wonderful alternatives. The château also offers a multitude of rooms upstairs, ideal for entertainment lounges, production offices, or additional event spaces for larger celebrations.
GOOD TO KNOW
Insider tip
There are no five-star hotels near Château de Ferrières, so guests typically stay in Paris and are transported to the venue, approximately a one-hour drive away. For an unforgettable entrance, helicopter landings can be arranged on the property. Guests can also enjoy charming carriage rides throughout the estate grounds. Please note that the château requires exclusive use of their in-house catering team, so scheduling a tasting is highly recommended before confirming your booking.
