Creating Unforgettable Memories: A Dream French Wedding in a 15th-Century Chateau

30/05/2023

Are you dreaming of a fairytale wedding in a romantic French chateau? Look no further than the Hotel Château de la Côte in the heart of the idyllic Périgord Vert region of the Dordogne. The 15th-century castle boasts an enchanting atmosphere that will transport you and your guests to a bygone era.

From the quiet wooded enclaves to the beautifully landscaped gardens, you and your beloved partner will fall under the spell of this enchanting location from the moment you arrive at the hotel. Inside, there's the perfect blend of modern amenities and 15th-century charm, complete with exquisite dining from the on-site restaurant.  

In short, the Hotel Château de la Côte offers an incredible wedding venue for couples seeking a fairytale romance.

With that in mind, let's look a little closer at what this venue has to offer.

Hotel Château de la Côte: Beautiful Setting Blended with Wedding Experience

There is something extraordinary about this castle. Whether it's the ivy adorning the 15th-century walls or the 19 acres of picturesque parkland, the hotel's setting is truly enchanting. While this venue is a hotel, you and your fiancé(e) will have exclusive use of the venue, making it feel as though you are lords of the castle.

What's more, the venue lends itself so well to a wedding celebration. There are several terraces, a huge courtyard perfect for entertaining, and modern amenities, including a bar, an outdoor swimming pool, and an on-site restaurant.

The owners have been organising and catering to wedding couples for 30 years. With a track record that long, you have peace of mind that they know what they're doing, and you will be in excellent hands.   

Regarding the accommodation, there are 17 double bedrooms (34 guests), with further single-bed accommodation options that boost on-site capacity up to 48. Given the vast outdoor space on offer, weddings based here can comfortably host over 200 people – an essential consideration for a luxury wedding.

Once again, there are so many options for ceremony and reception locations that couples tying the knot here can really personalise their celebration in a way other wedding venues cannot.

So, given that's the case, what might couples planning their special day expect?

Tying the Knot at Hotel Château de la Côte: An Example Celebration

There are so many configuration and location options within the grounds that it's impossible to cover them all. Thus, it's better to give you a sample of what couples can expect when planning their wedding at this luxurious hotel.

For the ceremony, the best bet is an outdoor affair that leverages the beauty of the extensive grounds. This could take place on the manicured lawns surrounding the property, which are perfectly suited to a wedding arch (decorated with fresh flowers) as the backdrop to the couple's exchange of vows. You could then complete the space with several rows of white wedding chairs, creating a very formal and elegant environment.

After the ceremony, you, once again, have several options available to you (both indoor and outdoor). However, we recommend hosting in the wonderful courtyard with the magnificent chateau as your backdrop. While you have your photos taken as a newlywed couple, guests can mingle and sip aperitifs while enjoying the views.

As the cocktail hour draws to a close, you can head across to your hired stretch tent marquee, placed anywhere along the flat lawn, for a truly unique and unforgettable experience. You can benefit from the best of both worlds with an open-sided stretch tent design. Stunning views in all directions, protection from the elements, and space enough for over 100 seated guests.

Of course, once the wedding breakfast is out of the way, it's time for dancing and partying. Within minutes the tables can be rearranged to develop more space around your rented wedding dance floor, complete with a DJ or live band performance area. 

By hiring wedding lighting, including a disco lighting ensemble, uplighting for the tent ceiling, and fairy lights to wrap around the wooden support posts and nearby trees, you can create a truly unique and unforgettable wedding reception.

Located just an hour from Bergerac airport and under two hours from Bordeaux,  this wedding venue really does showcase the best of the Dordogne countryside.
