The area
Bouffémont is a Val-d'Oise village on the edge of the Montmorency forest, with its 12th-century Saint-Georges church. Around it: the Château d'Écouen and its National Renaissance Museum, the Royaumont abbey, the river beach at L'Isle-Adam with its 19th-century cabins, and the L'Isle-Adam market on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday mornings.

Who is Fervenza?
Fervenza is a French company that plans weddings with everything included. With Émilie and the whole team, we’re already planning the weddings of 2027 and 2028.
- French company, licensed live-event producer Your contract is governed by French law
- Covered by professional liability insurance
How much does a wedding at Château Bouffémont cost?
From £43,000, all-inclusive, for about 100 guests on a weekday between mid-October and mid-April: the venue, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. For a Saturday, or a date from April to October, the price follows the château's seasons. The exact price for your date, in writing within a week.
Can the price change?
Once we’ve agreed, no. It only changes if you change the wedding: more or fewer guests, a wish added along the way.
What if one of our suppliers can’t make it?
We replace them. They’re our suppliers, under our contract, so the two of you have nothing to search for or renegotiate. You approve the choice, and we take care of the rest.
Can we insure our wedding?
Yes, if you wish. We can offer optional cancellation insurance dedicated to your wedding, placed with Lloyd’s. It covers cancelling or postponing for reasons beyond your control, including if one of you can’t be there, as set out in the policy terms.
What if we booked the château directly?
You can, it's a beautiful house. The château rents you its salons, gardens and park from 3 pm to 4 am, with tables, chairs, security and cleaning. You then gather the caterer, the drinks, the flowers, the decor, the music and the photographer. With us, all of it is in your price, every choice stays yours, and the château keeps its own rate. You come to get married.
How many guests can we invite?
Up to 150 at table in the salons, and 200 for drinks. The château is all yours whatever the size of your party: our base is about 100 guests, and the price adjusts to your number.
Which dates are still free?
Tell us your date, we check with the château and reply in writing. It welcomes weddings all year round, and its softest rates run from mid-October to mid-April.
Can we have a secular ceremony on site?
Yes: in the French formal gardens, on the lawn facing the château, or on the grand staircase. In winter, in one of the salons, by the fire. You write your vows, we set up everything else.
Can we have our civil wedding in Bouffémont?
In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the château. Bouffémont town hall can marry you if one of you, or one of your parents, lives there or has lived there for at least a month. Otherwise, the civil wedding happens in your own town, and the ceremony at the château.
Our guests are flying in. Is it easy for them?
Yes: Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport is 20 minutes away and Paris 30. By train, Gare du Nord is under half an hour away, and Bouffémont-Moisselles station 2.5 km from the château, which can book taxis and a driver. To sleep nearby, we give you the addresses, ready to share with your loved ones.
Coming from abroad: how does it work?
Your contract is governed by French law, and also written in English.
How late can the party go?
The château is yours from 3 pm to 4 am. After dinner, the party settles into the Salon des Anges, around its wooden bar, and carries on. We confirm the château's music times for your date, in writing.
What if it rains?
Rain plan: the château's five reception rooms, 300 m² under the chandeliers, where 150 guests dine seated. The ceremony moves into a salon, and the party stays in the Salon des Anges.
Where do we get ready?
In the château's bridal suite, part of the hire. One of you in the suite, the other in a panelled salon, if you'd like to see each other for the first time at the ceremony.
Will our grandparents be comfortable?
Yes: a lift serves the floors, the château is wheelchair accessible, and the car park has 80 spaces. In the salons, armchairs and sofas for those who'd rather watch the dancing.
Can we bring our own vendors?
Yes, and if you already have a vendor in mind, they're welcome. Your photos are included, with our photographers. If you already have yours, we welcome them into the team and adjust your price. For a large reception, the caterer is chosen together with the château, and we handle it with them.
