“I have just spent a week at the Château celebrating my daughter’s wedding. If you are looking for that fairy tale wedding then I recommend this château. It is very rustic and has a lot of charm. The grounds are superb with two pools and plenty of outside space. Thanks go to the concierge for keeping the grass cut and making the gardens look beautiful. We all had a very enjoyable week and would like to do it all over again.”

– Madelyn, June 2019 💕

Dark greens and a mix of pink shades make a vibrant yet elegant colour pallet for an outdoor wedding - beautiful against the pale stone of our beloved Château exterior.

We love this colour combination so much that it's the inspiration for our website's new look - visit via the link in bio and see what you think!

Your wedding day is...

💕 A day where you get to see all of your loved ones at once.

💕 A day in which your most treasured photos will be taken.

💕 A day full of dancing, laughing and delicious food.

💕 A day filled with magical memories.

💕 The best day of your life.

Now... imagine swapping ‘day’ for ‘week’!

With a destination wedding, your wedding day extends to become a holiday with your loved ones. This reduces the pressure to make that one day absolutely perfect and to spend enough time with everyone.

You can settle back to enjoy your day, safe in the knowledge that you are going kayaking with those school friends the day after tomorrow and that you are going to go to a traditional local restaurant with your close family later in the week.

With a destination wedding, you will have plenty of time to create such lasting memories with all the special people in your life!

The Raysse Estate can comfortably host 35 adults in its three interlinked lodgings: the Château, the Pigeonnier and the Maison du Parc.

Many of our past wedding couples have chosen to put the bride's family in the Château and the groom's family in the Maison du Parc, which is nestled among the trees just next to the château's tower.

Both buildings are beautiful, self-sufficient spaces full of history and character ⚜️

"We spent a week here at the end of June with friends and family, to celebrate our wedding. I don't think we could have picked a more romantic place to get married!

The Château is full of so much character and the surrounding grounds are beautiful. There are two swimming pools which I think were the biggest hit among everybody, even on the wedding night we were being serenaded by the band while we all cooled off in the pool. We really do hope to return someday."
