Your wedding at Domaine d'Aveny

From £46,000, all-inclusive, for about 100 guests, the big day and the next-day brunch: the venue, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. For the whole weekend, or a summer date, the price follows the estate's rates. The exact price for your date, 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 estate rents you the château, its park and its rooms, with the dinner tables and chairs. You then bring together the caterer, the ceremony chairs, the flowers, the music and the photographer. 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.

Up to 200 at table in the Grande Galerie with the dance floor, 220 without. The Grande Terrasse welcomes up to 300 for drinks.

Tell us your date, or two or three that would suit you, we check with the estate and reply in writing. The château hosts weddings all year round.

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 estate's one fixed point: the caterer, chosen among those it works with, an outside one being possible after a visit on site.

Yes: on the lawn facing the château, in the shade of the plane trees, in the round clearing at the edge of the woods, in the rose garden, or in the Impressionist Garden by the Orangerie. 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. Vexin-sur-Epte 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: Charles de Gaulle and Beauvais airports are 50 minutes away, Paris an hour by road. By train, Paris Saint-Lazare to Vernon-Giverny takes 50 minutes, then 20 minutes by car or by taxi. And most of them sleep on the estate.

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

In the château's room for the couple, spacious and full of light. One of you can get ready in the Orangerie or in one of the hamlet's houses, if you'd like to see each other for the first time at the ceremony.

Of course, and they get their own room: the Salon d'Hiver or the Salle des Impressionnistes. The estate asks for adult, approved babysitters during the event: we help you find them, so the grown-ups enjoy the party too.

Yes, on request: the estate offers a fireworks show to end the evening, fired by the fireworks firm it works with. We plan it with you from the visit of the château.
