Planning a wedding abroad isn’t easy, and the Chateau du Raysse was the first vendor we picked. We were looking for some place beautiful that would be able to host our 30 or so wedding guests, and that also wouldn’t blow our budget up, and WOW! Did we luck out.
It was amazing how everything else fell into place so easily after that decision! Throughout the whole process, they were responsive and helpful, and even when we had an issue with hot water the day we arrived, it was fixed before it could even be noticed! The buildings and landscape themselves were beyond beautiful, I’m not even sure all the lovely photos do them justice.
We were there in April, and the Wisteria was in bloom, which was gorgeous beyond words. The kitchens provided plenty of space for us to host breakfasts, lunches, and dinners (although we primarily ate outside on the beautiful lawns).
We had plenty of space for our 37 guests at our wedding ceremony (held under the picturesque arch) and for our reception on the Maison lawn! Later in the evening, we did dancing in the Maison Hall, which was so fun (and we were SO grateful for the AC!). We did take advantage of the pool as well, the groom hung out there all morning the day of the wedding! The bride was able to get ready on the balcony of the primary suite, which made the morning so peaceful and beautiful.
Every guest had amazing things to say about the Chateau, and I will sing its praises for the rest of my days! So if you’ve been dreaming of a fairytale wedding (or birthday or vacation!), don’t hesitate!
