Wedding ceremony at
Chateau de Vallery

The Grande Galerie, the Oriental Pavilion, the Rose Garden, the Church and even the sycamore with seven trunks can all be perfect spots for romantic wedding vows and other ceremonies - depending on your religion, your traditions and, who knows, your idea of romance!

A land of freedom between Paris and Burgundy, only a hundred kilometers from the capital, its airports and its railway stations. It is perhaps to this cultural plurality that Vallery owes its international radiance!...

Places of all celebrations

Whether religious, ecumenical or symbolic, the ceremonies remain the heart and soul of the D-day... This is a solemn ceremony to mark the union of a couple. Atheist brides and grooms sometimes request the oratory skills of a celebrant in the Rose Garden. Also, the edge of the forest can provide an opportunity to commune with nature in a bucolic wedding procession. Thus, many places on the estate are perfectly suited for a wedding ceremony and romantic vows. The Salle des Tentures can be transformed into a synagogue. The Oriental Pavilion is ideal for henna ceremonies and Muslim weddings. Protestants can use the Rose Garden or the village church, just like Catholics. Also, the 7 trunks Sycamore tree behind the Renaissance part or the big chestnut tree in the grounds, shelter in their shades chuppah and ordered chairs. The fabulous team of this French venue and your wedding planner will of course be able to help you.

Today, for a wedding ceremony

The church has a sound system. It is under the authority of the town hall and the diocese and offers seating for 250 people. In order to plan your wedding ceremony there, it is therefore necessary to make a request to the parish of Chéroy.

Ideally located

1h from Paris, in Vallery, from the chateau grounds, you take the small path known as the "church path". It runs alongside the Renaissance chateau, its moat and the Music Room and ends at a dedicated gate. So the procession takes the small street of "Général de la Ferrière" for a few meters. Then it is the church square: the guests settle down and wait for the groom to be joined by the bride on the arm of her father. The floral decoration will have been carefully set up in the morning. Only a carriage or a vintage car will remain available for the bride and groom in the small church square.

Cults and receptions

1h from Paris, erected since the Renaissance, the Grande Galerie remains the untouched backdrop for Madame de Lafayette’s novel "La Princesse de Clèves". The sound system in this Renaissance jewel is in harmony with that in the grounds. Spotlights concealed in the vaulted ceiling promise beautiful staging. More than 300 chairs can be arranged in two rows for your romantic vows. Like all the other large halls, The Pierre Lescot Grande Galerie is included in the hire of the estate for festivities. And it also can be the setting for the wedding ceremony. Vallery offers all the right suggestions for a wedding as a journey and getting married in its chateau! From the day before (on weekdays) to the day after (3pm), including the religious marriage celebration, of course.

Appropriate equipment

The seating is provided by the chateau team and this Salle des Tentures, like the other three rooms on the estate, is fully equipped with sound. The equipment is integrated and particularly discreet, which favours contemplation and sobriety. Up to 220 seated guests can attend the ceremony.

Stunning location and views

The Oriental Pavilion is located as an extension of the swimming pool, also known as the "grand bassin", bordered by its two bamboo arbours. It is also the "folly" of the chateau: the former commons of the Princes de Condé, which is now the Oriental Pavilion... One walks between the rose garden and the orchard to discover the Oriental Pavilion behind its heavy oak doors. On the first floor of this exotic room, 3 bedrooms: Sahara and Levant as well as the large duplex Loft. From here, you can discover the whole estate: first of all the swimming pool, but also the central park with Renaissance and medieval chateaus. A breathtaking landscape in the evening when the light of the projectors mixes with that of the torches.

Wedding ceremony in garden and ponds

Music seems to rise up out of the flowerbeds and flow from waterfalls and fountains, filling the air. The Rose Garden, now used for weddings, stands on the very spot where this French chateau’s old tithe barn used to be and has inherited its walls; they are now covered in luxuriant greenery and blooms. In the heart of the summer nights, the perfume of the roses rises up to the large pool jealously guarded by two sculpted sphinxes facing each other, resting on the parapet above the rose garden.

Setting up the ceremony

Again, chairs can be provided by the chateau for up to 200 people. The organizers will be free to install specific equipment such as a flower canopy and houppa for Jewish ceremonies or podiums for secular services. On the other hand, an experienced service provider can supply sound for your outdoor ceremony as well as the halls, as part of a complete sound and light package for your entire wedding.

Huge trees for great causes

A flowering chuppah can easily be hung from one of the strong branches of the sycamore tree. The light effects are exceptional, as is the optional outdoor sound system. This majestic and impressive tree is one of the rare opportunities to enjoy the Renaissance chateau facade from the sunset. A spiritual escape for your reception in this half-chateau, half-forest estate only 1h from Paris. High trees shelter the wedding corteges at the chateau; the great chestnut tree, which is said to be the largest and oldest on the estate, without ever having been able to prove it, constitutes the epicenter of the venue. At 33 meters tall, it rivals other giants and also urges you to entrust it with your share of the sacred.
