Imagine a blissful and luxury wedding venue in the Dordogne, surrounded by lush greenery and perched high above the rolling hills of the Périgord. Welcome to Chateau Lajoie, an ode to refined living and meaningful celebrations in France.
Chateau Lajoie, Luxury wedding in the Dordogne
You’ll be under its spell from the moment you catch your first glimpse of the château. Pass through the gates and take in the beauty of the place… from the elegant architecture of this 18th-century Renaissance residence to the fountain framed by a parterre garden.
On your big day, picture a ceremony in the 175 ha of parkland and forests, followed by cocktails on the terrace. As the sun begins to dip, dinner can be set under garlands of fairy lights. If needed, there is also a reception room for 90 people seated (or 110 standing).
The celebrations don’t end there. The following day, the infinity pool becomes the focal point, ideal for a relaxed brunch or informal gathering.
A wedding venue that sleeps 24 and is designed for multi-day celebrations
Chateau Lajoie is made for more than just a single day, it’s a place where your guests can settle in and stay.
The estate offers accommodation for up to 24 guests across 12 beautifully designed bedrooms, eight of which are air-conditioned. Each room is bright, spacious, and thoughtfully styled with curated antiques, luxury wallpaper, and a soft colour palette.
Three additional rooms located in the groundskeeper cottage on the property can be booked at an additional price to bring the sleeping capacity to 30 guests.
Additional accommodation can easily be found nearby.
In the days around the wedding, guests can lounge by the pool, play tennis, unwind in the spa and hammam, or gather for pétanque and billiards. On site, you will also find two massage rooms, a fitness space, and even a private cinema.
Why we selected Chateau Lajoie into our Selection
