Large wedding venues

7 of the best French wedding venues in South France, suitable for very large weddings

Are you planning a large French wedding? One thing we often get asked is which venues in the South of France have the capacity to hold very large weddings.
So to help you out, here are our favourite locations for 200 guests and upwards (in no order of preference!)…

 

 

♥ Chateau d’Argent
…for fine wines and glamour

Wedding capacity: 300 people

Sleeping capacity: 26 people, with plenty of extra accommodation for all your wedding guests nearby.

As you’re driving away from the lovely Southern French village of Cotignac, rolling amongst the vineyards, a graceful, dreamy chateau will stand out on the horizon: this is Chateau d’Argent.

The long, winding driveway, adorned with palm trees, really sets the scene, just before the impressive Chateau emerges into view.

Don’t waste a second to come and visit this chateau as it gets booked really fast!

♥ Chateau Montpezat
…for the contemporary-yet-authentic lot

Wedding capacity: no maximum!!!

Sleeping capacity: 20 people, with plenty of extra accommodation for all your wedding guests nearby.

We love Chateau de Montpezat for its unique take on decoration: whilst being sympathetic to the original spirit of the chateau with traditional furniture and antiques, it also exhibits some bold contemporary pieces, which reflect the love for art of the owner.
