  2. What to expect

    Perfectly located between Toulouse and Bordeaux, Chateau de Poudenas blends the majesty of an Italian palace with the charm of a French chateau. Its impressive double staircase, picturesque courtyard, vast parkland, and on-site amenitiesโ€”including a golf practice area, tennis courts, a church, and two swimming poolsโ€”make it a fairytale setting for a destination wedding.

    Spaces for Every Part of Your Celebration

    Perched on 10 hectares of private parkland, the chateau offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Plus it offers a variety of spaces for your wedding.

    For a religious ceremony, the village church directly opposite the chateau can seat up to 300 guests. For a humanist ceremony, choose your favourite spot within the expansive park or opt for the romantic North Esplanade, shaded by lime trees.

    The wedding dinner can take place indoors and outdoors. Dine in one of the six elegant reception rooms or celebrate under the stars in the courtyard. We particularly love the courtyard, beautifully lit with guinguette lights, creating the perfect South of France wedding atmosphere.

    On the next-day, extend the celebration with a relaxed brunch by the pool or enjoy a casual round of golf with your guests.

    Accommodation wise, the estate can accommodate up to 42 guests across four guest houses (21 bedrooms), each with its own private gardenโ€”one even features its own swimming pool! Additional accommodation is available within walking distance for larger guest lists.

    A Family Legacy of Warm Hospitality

    Owned by the same family for several generations, Chateau de Poudenas is known for its warm and welcoming atmosphere. Couples will also benefit from the support of an experienced wedding planner, available either for full-service planning or day-of coordination.

    We had a magnificent wedding at the Chรขteau de Poudenas, in a superb setting! Possibilities of choosing between different locations for the cocktail, courtyard of the castle, park, reception room, it's very flexible... We dined in the reception rooms set up for, "the stables" (beautiful vaulted room with stone walls), then in the adjoining rooms. It was great and our guests were delighted. The evening was then spent in the billiards room where there is a beautiful parquet floor, ideal for dancing!! The rooms have beautiful volumes and allowed us to accommodate 300 guests at the table. The advantage of this castle is the cottages which are located within the castle grounds, and which give the possibility of accommodating (35/40 people) family, witnesses and close friends in a very comfortable way (with a private swimming pool in addition ) ! It's ideal for arriving a little early and preparing for our wedding peacefully. It is a venue that we highly recommend for the guarantee of a magnificent and successful wedding :)

    We got married in this sumptuous castle and had a wonderful time. The cocktail took place in the courtyard in an exceptional setting. Given the large number of guests, we were able to dine in three charming rooms. In addition, we thank the owners of Poudenas Castle for listening to us. Our guests were also captivated by the beauty of the place, particularly by the different lodgings where many of them were able to stay. A big thank you for this perfect organization and this incredible setting for our wedding.
