The area
Trets lies in the upper Arc valley, on the southern side of the Sainte-Victoire, the mountain painted again and again. Its old walls hold the Château des Remparts, dating from the 12th-13th and 16th centuries, with exhibitions and summer concerts in its courtyard. And for those who arrive early, the estate's own bistro and wine shop in Rousset, or the basilica of Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume.

Who is Fervenza?

- 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 Grand Boise cost?
From £46,000, all-inclusive, for about 100 guests: the venue, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. The price follows the estate's seasons, from a winter weekend to one in June or July. The exact price for your date and guest count, 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 estate directly?
You can, it's a lovely house. For the weekend, the estate rents you its bastide and its 8 rooms, its gardens, Le Jas and its pool, and you buy its wine. You then bring together the caterer, the tables and chairs, the tableware, the flowers, the decor, 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 estate keeps its own rate. You come to get married.
How many guests can we invite?
Up to 250 at the table in Le Jas, and as many in the gardens for the vows and the drinks; the estate welcomes weddings from 50 guests. 15 of your people sleep in the bastide, 14 more at the Mas de Cabassude if you add it, the others in Trets or Aix.
Which dates are still free?
The estate hosts weddings all year round. Tell us your date, we check with Château Grand Boise and reply in writing.
Can we have a secular ceremony on site?
Yes, outdoors: on the terraces or in the gardens, under the shade of a great plane tree, the vines all around. Couples have even arrived on horseback. Your words, your officiant, your people around you.
Can we have our civil wedding in Trets?
In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the estate. Trets 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 estate.
Our guests are flying in. Is it easy for them?
Yes: Aix-en-Provence is 25 minutes away, Marseille and its airport 50. From Paris, the TGV stops at Aix-en-Provence TGV station, 35 minutes from Trets by car. 15 of them sleep in the bastide, and we share the best addresses in Trets and Aix for the others.
How do our guests get back after the party?
Fifteen of them only have a few steps to their room in the bastide, fourteen more if you add the Mas de Cabassude. The others stay in Trets or Aix, and we give you the addresses, ready to share with your loved ones.
Where do we get ready?
In the bastide, at the heart of the estate. Its 8 rooms each have their own bathroom: room enough for each of you to get ready on your own side, your people around you.
Do we serve the estate's wine?
Yes, the estate asks for its own wine at your table, about one bottle for every two adults: Côtes de Provence, organic and biodynamic, rosé, white or red. It is in your price, and you choose it at the tasting. For the champagne and the spirits, you pick what you like.
And if it rains, or the wind picks up?
Le Jas is right there: 300 m², 250 seats at the table, its big windows open onto the vines. A dinner planned outdoors moves inside in no time, and the party is already there. For the ceremony, we choose a covered spot with the estate at the visit.
Will our grandparents be comfortable?
Yes. Le Jas is wheelchair accessible, the cars park on the estate, and the party happens inside Le Jas: those who want an early bed sleep in peace, the little ones too.
Coming from abroad: how does it work?
Your contract is governed by French law, and also written in English.
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. Here, the estate leaves the caterer, the band and the DJ entirely up to you: only the wine comes from its vines.
