Why we love Château de Taulignan

You pass a gate bearing the arms of the Blégier de Taulignan, walk under two-hundred-year-old plane trees, and the 16th-century château appears with its two round towers. A weekend for you and your people, with 42 beds on site, on the edge of Vaison-la-Romaine. In the evening, the nomad tent lights up facing the pool.

  • Over 200

    guests outdoors, in spaces laid out the way you want

    and the château's large nomad tent, facing the pool, for dinner

  • Aerial view of the estate: the château and its towers, the L-shaped pool and its lawn, a slope planted with cypresses and the vines around, near Vaison-la-Romaine

    12 hectares

    around the château, from the old plane trees to the chapel

    terraces, an inner courtyard and gardens, overlooked by no one

  • The long swimming pool in the sun, loungers along its edge, the stone wing and a tower of the château behind, Château de Taulignan

      on the estate, close to the party

    • On the edge of Vaison-la-Romaine

      the cellars of Gigondas and Rasteau, and Mont Ventoux, all around

The area

The château stands between the Ouvèze and the Lauzon, 2 km from Vaison-la-Romaine, with Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail on the horizon. On Tuesday morning, Vaison's Provençal market fills the town with more than 450 stalls, and the Roman ruins of Puymin and La Villasse are a short walk from it.

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 de Taulignan cost?

From £65,000, all-inclusive, for about 100 guests: the venue, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. Your exact price depends on your date and your guest count, and you have it 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 estate, its rooms with their linen, its furniture, the nomad tent and the dance room's sound system. You then bring together the caterer, the service, the drinks, the flowers, the music, the photographer and the running of the day. 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.

How many guests can we invite?

Up to 200 for drinks in the French garden. Dinner under the nomad tent seats more than 150 at round tables, and beyond that a larger marquee, which the château allows; then the party in the dance room. Up to 42 of your guests sleep at the château.

Will the château be all ours?

Yes, as the château itself puts it: it hosts one event a day, and for a wedding the estate is privatised for the whole weekend. Your people arrive from Friday, the rooms are theirs, and the weekend runs until Sunday.

How late can we party?

The château sets no end time. After dinner under the tent, the party moves into the dance room of the wedding wing, soundproofed and already fitted with sound, and up to 42 of your guests sleep a few steps away.

Which dates are still free?

The château is open all year round. Tell us your date, we check with Château de Taulignan and reply in writing.

Can we have a secular ceremony on site?

Yes: in the plane-tree lane, a terrace of more than 300 m² under three rows of trees over 35 metres tall, or somewhere more intimate on the estate. Your words, your officiant, your people around you.

Can we have our civil wedding in Saint-Marcellin-lès-Vaison?

In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the château. Saint-Marcellin-lès-Vaison 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. The nearest airports are Marseille and Lyon; by train, Orange station is 30 minutes away and Avignon TGV one hour. Over 70 cars park on the estate, and up to 42 of your guests sleep on site.

How do our guests get back after the party?

Up to 42 of them just walk to their room. The others stay in Vaison-la-Romaine, 2 km away, and we give you the addresses, ready to share with your loved ones.

Where do we get ready?

At the château. The bridal suite, nearly 100 m² in the wedding wing, has its own bathroom with a double shower and a dressing room; the other can get ready in one of the château's suites, your people next door.

Will our grandparents be comfortable?

Yes. A ground-floor suite in the main building and a ground-floor room in the south wing are accessible, the first terrace is level with the château, and cars park on the estate. Children have their own space, and dogs are welcome.

Coming from abroad: how does it work?

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