A multicultural wedding stay
by Mariage Motion
On 22 August, Hien and Quan began their festivities in Vallery with the traditional "Van Danh" ritual. This invites the groom's family to visit the in-laws. Originally, the purpose of this first meeting was to officially find out the bride's date of birth to consult horoscope. From the Grande Galerie, the procession takes in the Yew-Tree Park and then the bamboo alley leading to the Palm Grove and its Balinese garden. Now it's time for the engagement or "Nap trung". The procession is joined by the bride-to-be's family.
The "Thinh Ky" rite now takes place under the Arbour, and the two families are invited to set the date and time of the religious ceremony. Exceptionally, the marriage will take place in Sens Cathedral, leaving the church in Vallery vacant for the time being. The bride and groom prepare for their wedding ceremony in the Grand Condé room for the bride, and in the Dovecot for him..
At the end of the wedding ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests return to Château de Vallery for the vin d'honneur in the central square. The sun drenched the photo shoot which take place across the estate, the Rose Garden and the old stables. Then the Music Room opens for dinner, followed by speeches by the guests and Arno's fabulous magic show.
After the wedding meal, it's off to the Yew-Tree Park, where a thousand torches light up the arrival of the wedding cake. The bride and groom will open the ball in the Renaissance Grande Galerie, before inviting their guests to watch a breathtaking fireworks display. Bombs, candles, rockets and Bengal fires for a particularly generous 180-degree fireworks display, from the edge of the forest to the medieval postern. Well done to Hien and Quan for organising their wedding over two days, with a delicious blend of tradition and romance.
Wedding at Château de Vallery
By Simply Lovely
Yoanna & Jess are respectively filmmaker and photographer. Married in an authentic Andalusian hacienda in 2015, they settled in Provence from where they manage Simply Lovely, wedding photography and video. True cosmopolitan artists, they first met in England in 2011. Yoanna & Jess are truly inspired by emotions and spontaneous moments of life.
Mai & Bryan's wedding at Château de Vallery was written for them. It is a real pleasure for the bride and groom to be accompanied by the couple forming the pictorial and emotional interface: Yoanna filming camera in hand and Jess, camera bodies and lenses slung over the shoulder. A major advantage: having a single contact for two complementary service providers.
Simply Lovely let us discover the chateau exterior day view on the first half of the clip. Only after the credits, the technical cut comes into play: Bryan's speech becomes the main thread. Very solemn, this speech is delivered in the Music Room where ends the meal. Thus, the filming plan will consist of interspersing superb daytime footage during the ceremony in the Grande Galerie and outside the chateau during the photo session before the cocktail party.
The flashback takes us to the bride's preparations in the Grand Condé bedroom on the first floor of the Renaissance Château. The apotheosis of the clip is none other than the fireworks and flames illuminating the grounds with "torchères", "chandelles" and some Bengal fires. A must.
Julie and Benjamin
By Apyfilm
On 29 September, they said yes to each other in Paris. Then Julie, Benjamin and their guests travelled to the land of the Princes of Condé. It was there that Apyfilm turned from shades of grey to colour. And what colours! A truly radiant autumn, mixing greens and oranges with the ochres and reds of the Renaissance chateau.
Dancing takes pride of place in the Music Room, overflowing with guests who know how to honour the festivities of these bride and groom. The same guests who chose the 7-trunk Sycamore tree for their religious ceremony, then lined the central square with a few exotic camels! And the dancing goes on all night long.
Cynthia and Gregory
by Jim Winter
In the autumn of 2021, Cynthia and Gregory organise their wedding at the chateau over several days. The inimitable Jim Winter immortalises the event with all his customary talent and creativity. Magic, elegance and mystery emerge from this clip in shades of copper, ochre, sepia and emerald.
The videographer sweeps through the unique features of the estate, including the Renaissance chateau and its central square framed by yew hedges, the largest dovecote in France, the 60-hectare forest and the church at Vallery... In almost 10 minutes, he presents us with a fabulous picture that is both grandiose and intimate.
Weddings and chateau
by Tuan Nguyen
The artistic style of Tuan Nguyen, is amply imbued with cinema. Tuan marks this video opus with his paw of aesthete thanks to which poetry is edged with intense emotions. Here, you’ll see all the qualities to restore the Vallery estate's assets and the singularity of this wedding venue. The cultural and ethnic mix is honored and Tuan has captured this particularity dear to the chateau.
Tuan Nguyen has been building a solid reputation in the bridal world since 2011. In 9 years of activity, more than 300 weddings have been marked to his credit. His strong love for image, emotion and purity has naturally led him to the hushed world of weddings. He has also been able to invest his art in other fields such as fashion, music and corporate. This could only enrich his talent.
Thus, Tuan leads us between the chateau’s large halls and the central square, the nerve center of the estate. Indeed, the park is omnipresent in the film; from the day before the wedding by daylight to the night for the fireworks and flashovers before the first dance in the Grande Galerie. It is a fact that this central square is sounded from the bride and groom's playlist and lit by torches as soon as night falls.
The director directs his gaze on the Grande Galerie during a Jewish ceremony and then on the Music Room set up for a wedding dinner. The church of Vallery will also be honored as well as the chateau’s Arbour and the Rose Garden. Time stands still for the bride and groom of the Château de Vallery. So, doesn't this short film let us imagine that the artist and the place still have so much to see together?
Fires
by Jonathan Vansteenberghe
The stunning choreography of the fireworks display creates a dramatic narrative of sound, rhythm, and color that gives rise to an experience of wonder and enchantment.
At Vallery, the fire from the fireworks intensifies the majesty of the property by igniting the ruins, the ancient postern, and the Dovecote, from the rose garden all the way to the great chestnut tree. This magnificent display transforms the landscape before your eyes, changing the shape of every rock and tree with each new color, casting long shadows upon the oak trees lining the edge of the forest.
The fireworks combined with the starry nights of Burgundy create a dreamlike and whimsical sky that outshines the moon.
Try if you can to follow the light, shining for a moment on a wayward knight only to be found next to the ramparts a moment later. The fireworks display at The Château de Vallery makes romantics out of all of us, as the light reverberates back to an antediluvian past.
