What to expect

Chateau de Garde is an idyll of bliss and beauty, a stunning wedding venue located amongst vineyards close to the city of Bordeaux. As you approach Chateau de Garde, you will find yourself at the heart of the Bordeaux region, near the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saint-Émilion. Let your gaze wander across the surrounding vines and spot its bell tower, just a stone’s throw away.

Chateau de Garde: Your wedding Amongst the Bordeaux Vineyards

The venue is surrounded by a vast park where you’ll be able to have your blessing, facing the vineyards. Then proceed with the cocktail reception on the main terrace, under the radiant Bordelais sun.

Dinner will take place outdoors or in the gorgeous, light-filled reception room. With its exposed stonework, oak flooring and stylish chandeliers, the room can accommodate up to 120 people.

When it’s time to party, don’t hold back, as you’ll be able to dance here until the early hours of the morning!

On the day after the wedding, make the most of the pool and get a food truck round for more fun and celebration.

Accommodation at Chateau de Garde

The domaine sleeps 50 people on site: 20 in the Château, 20 in the Maison du Métayer and an extra 10 in the Annexe. There is plenty more accommodation for the rest of your wedding party nearby.

Chateau de Garde offers a minimum rental of three days to ensure you really get an immersive experience in France with your friends and family.

Why we chose Chateau de Garde

Enter the 18th-century château and be amazed by its grace and inner luxury. The owners, Céline and Dimitri, decorators extraordinaire, have achieved a perfect combination: the interiors make you feel like royalty, whilst the comfort and facilities make you feel right at home.

For us, this balance of elegance and warmth, paired with the surrounding vineyards, makes Château de Garde a truly special setting for a wedding in France.

    Château de Garde is one the most beautiful venues in South West France. We visited many châteaux when we were planning our wedding, and De Garde was a cut above the rest. Not only was the venue stunning, but also the setting amongst the vines. The interior was beautifully decorated and the team there helped make the weekend run flawlessly. We cannot recommend it enough!

    Château de Garde is an absolutely stunning wedding venue. From the moment we saw it, we knew it offered everything we were looking for. One of the biggest advantages is that the château can be rented for the entire weekend, from Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. This allowed us to enjoy the celebrations at a relaxed pace and spend more quality time with our guests. The venue can also comfortably accommodate around 40 people on-site, which made the experience feel especially intimate and memorable. The location is fantastic. The château is set on a beautiful vineyard and is close to Saint-Émilion, giving guests plenty of nearby accommodation options and attractions to explore. We particularly loved the variety of indoor and outdoor spaces. As the weather can be unpredictable, having an equally beautiful indoor ceremony option was very important to us. Each part of the weekend could take place in a different setting: drinks on the balcony on Friday evening, the ceremony on the lawn or indoors, cocktails in the Moroccan garden, and dinner in the elegant dining room. The pool and gardens also provided wonderful spaces for guests to relax. Every bedroom is beautifully furnished and finished, with so much attention to detail throughout the property. The château also provides an excellent list of trusted wedding planners and suppliers, which made the planning process much easier. Château de Garde is a truly magical venue, combining beautiful surroundings, flexibility, character, and comfort. We could not recommend it more highly for a wedding weekend.

    We were lucky enough to be able to host our wedding at Château de Garde in July of this year, and what a special few days it was. Plenty of beautiful areas to host in, and the interiors of all the buildings onsite are truly stunning. It is truly a spectacular venue and is relaxed and laidback while also still feeling luxurious and elevated. We will cherish the few days we spent at Château de Garde with our loved ones forever!
