Planning a Chateau de Villette wedding is a dream for so many couples. This historic estate, just outside Paris, offers a setting that feels both cinematic and timeless. It combines luxury, history, and French charm in a way few venues can match.
Tony and Emily’s celebration at Château de Villette captured exactly that feeling. After twelve months of planning and countless calls across time zones from Los Angeles, their wedding unfolded as a masterpiece of elegance, emotion, and unforgettable moments.
Getting Ready at the Château
The morning began quietly but with excitement in the air. Château de Villette is perfectly designed for wedding mornings, with separate wings dedicated to the bride and groom. This thoughtful layout allowed Emily and Tony to prepare privately, yet still be under the same roof.
Emily’s suite filled with calm joy as her bridesmaids helped her get ready. Across the château, Tony’s room carried the same energy. The anticipation was high, but the atmosphere remained warm and intimate. It was the perfect balance for portraits, laughter, and quiet reflection before the day began.
A First Look in the Gardens
The manicured gardens of Château de Villette set the stage for the couple’s first look. Even though the forecast predicted cold and rain, love truly outshone the weather.
When Emily appeared, Tony’s emotions overflowed. The moment was intimate and heartfelt, and the gardens framed it beautifully. It was proof that a chateau de villette wedding offers not only grandeur but also deeply personal, private moments.
The Ceremony in Front of the Château
By late afternoon, guests arrived from Paris in private transfers. They were greeted with a welcome drink and guided toward the ceremony.
The backdrop? The dramatic façade of Château de Villette. The design of the day revealed each space in stages, so the entire experience felt like a journey of discovery.
The ceremony itself was deeply personal. The groom’s sister officiated, adding a family touch that made the moment even more meaningful. Classical music underscored their vows while the château’s historic architecture framed the scene with timeless grandeur.
Cocktail Hour Indoors and in the Gardens
After the ceremony, guests stepped inside the château for cocktails. As the skies cleared, everyone returned to the gardens to enjoy sweeping views of the estate.
Signature drinks and exquisite bites from Grands Chemins Traiteur created an atmosphere of refined indulgence. Guests mingled, laughed, and posed for relaxed portraits, savoring the calm before the evening celebration.
This transition — from indoors to outdoors — is one of the charms of a chateau de villette wedding. It gives your guests a chance to experience both the intimacy of the château and the vast beauty of its gardens.
Dinner in the Glass Pavilion
The evening moved to Château de Villette’s recently renovated glass pavilion, a structure that blends modern style with historic character. The design for dinner centered on a refined palette of whites, creams, and eggshell tones. Roses filled the tables, and hundreds of candles added a soft glow.
As rain tapped gently on the glass ceiling, the atmosphere grew even more romantic. A live jazz band played, filling the space with warmth and elegance. Guests dined at a long table that felt both grand and intimate, the kind of setting that will look timeless in photographs for decades.
This is one of the reasons couples choose a chateau de villette wedding — every detail feels cinematic, every corner a perfect backdrop.
An Unforgettable After Party
Just when guests thought the night could not get better, the evening took a thrilling turn. Ten Brazilian dancers burst into the pavilion, a surprise planned to honor Tony’s heritage.
The atmosphere transformed from refined romance to high-energy celebration. Guests filled the dance floor, laughter echoed, and the party carried late into the night.
A chateau de villette wedding offers the space and flexibility to create moments like this — where timeless luxury meets pure joy.
