Your wedding at Château de L'Hospital

From £43,000, all-inclusive, for about 100 guests on a weekday: the venue, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. For a full weekend, the price follows the château's. The exact price depends on your date and your guest count, and you get it in writing within a week.

Once we’ve agreed, no. It only changes if you change the wedding: more or fewer guests, a wish added along the way.

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.

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.

You can, it's a beautiful house. The château rents you its estate from Friday to Monday, furniture included, and opens its address book. You then bring together the caterer and the service, the drinks, the flowers and the decor, the DJ and the photographer. With us, all of that is in your price, every choice stays yours, and the château keeps its own rate. You come to get married.

Up to 120 at table in the Orangerie, and 140 for drinks. On fine days, dinner can also move outdoors in the park, under the stars or under a tent, and up to 49 of you can sleep at the château.

Tell us your date, we check with the château and reply in writing.

Yes: in the park, under the tall trees or facing the vines, or on the terrace and the garden in front of the Orangerie. You choose who marries you, in English, French or both, and what gets said.

In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the château. Portets 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.

Yes: Bordeaux-Mérignac airport is 30 minutes away, Bordeaux too, and the regional train links Bordeaux Saint-Jean to Portets station in 25 minutes. Paris is 2 h 04 from Bordeaux by high-speed train, and up to 49 of your guests sleep at the château.

Until 4 am, on the Orangerie dance floor. Music outdoors stops at 10 pm and the party carries on inside. Up to 49 of your guests sleep a few steps away. For the others, we give you the addresses, ready to share with your loved ones.

The Orangerie is the plan: its 140 m² seat 120 at table and keep the dance floor going, and a ceremony planned in the park can move inside. For dinner, a tent in the park is another option.

In the park-side suites, air-conditioned in summer, each with its own walk-in shower. The old smoking room, with its club armchairs and its fireplace, is a few steps away if one of you would rather get ready there.

Yes. Since 2025 a ramp leads into the château, a bedroom is fitted for reduced mobility and a paved path runs all around it. The Orangerie is open to reduced mobility, 80 parking spaces wait on site, and the children have the mezzanine above the hall to play in.

Yes, and it's the loveliest nod: Graves reds and whites grown organically in the vines around your ceremony. The 2025 white won a gold medal at the 2026 Concours Général Agricole. And if you'd rather pour other wines, the château charges no corkage.

Your contract is governed by French law, and also written in English.

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. The château imposes no caterer: the choice stays yours.
