Frequently Asked Questions

Wedding Château Rental and Costs

How far in Advance should I book a wedding castle?

Suppose you're planning a more intimate wedding or choosing a date outside the high season. In that case, finding a venue that fits your vision closer to the date might be easier.

Starting early gives you greater flexibility and peace of mind, ensuring your dream château is ready and waiting for your special day!

How much are the Down Payment and Security Deposit for renting a wedding château?

To secure your wedding château, a 40% down payment is typically required at the time of booking. The remaining 60% is due twelve weeks before your arrival.

A refundable security deposit may also be required to cover potential damages during your stay. Your booking agreement will outline the exact amount and payment terms, and the deposit will be fully refunded if no damage occurs.

If you have any questions about the payment process or deposit, we’re happy to assist you every step of the way.

Why Is a Down Payment Required for a Wedding Château?

A down payment is necessary to secure your chosen château for your wedding date. Since châteaux are exclusive venues with limited availability, this deposit ensures your booking is confirmed, and the property is reserved for you.

A down payment guarantees that someone else won't book your chosen venue. This commitment helps you and the venue plan a seamless and unforgettable wedding experience.
