Your wedding at Château de Lacoste

From £45,000, all-inclusive, for about 100 guests: the venue, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. 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 and its bedrooms, housekeeping and linen included, with a minimum booking. You then bring together the caterer, the drinks, the cake, the decor, the flowers, the music 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.

We build your wedding around 100 guests, and the estate welcomes more: up to 130 seated, and a couple dined outdoors with 110 in June 2026. Up to 55 can sleep on the estate, at the château and in its 4 houses. Tell us your number, we confirm with the château.

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

Yes: under the trees of the park, beside the formal garden, or in the estate's neo-Gothic chapel, under cover. You write the ceremony that feels like you, we set the scene.

In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the château. Castelnaud-la-Chapelle 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: Brive airport is 57 km from Castelnaud, and Bergerac, Bordeaux and Toulouse also serve the area. By train, Sarlat-la-Canéda is the nearest station, and Souillac and Brive are on the Paris-Toulouse line. To sleep nearby, we give you the best addresses around the château, ready to share with your loved ones.

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

As late as you like: the château sets no end time, and hosts a single wedding a day. The party carries on in the grand salon. We confirm the château's rules for music outdoors, in writing, for your date.

The caterer you choose. The château imposes none; we pick one together among the Périgord houses, you taste the menu beforehand, and it is included in your price. The wines too, with no corkage.

Rain plan: the château's five salons and its three dining rooms, for the ceremony as well as dinner. And the neo-Gothic chapel stays there for your vows, under cover.

In the château's bedrooms, in an interior renewed about ten years ago. One of you at the château, the other in the Stables or the courtyard apartment, if you'd like to see each other for the first time at the ceremony.

Castelnaud, 2 km away, and Beynac, nearly 5 km away, across the Dordogne. During the Hundred Years' War they faced each other, one English, the other French. Something to talk about over drinks.

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, photographer or DJ: the choice is yours.
