Anyone who knows the bride will know she loves a fashion statement, so Glam up! Be Bold! We will be over the moon if you dress to the nines! Feel free to dress so glamorously that you might just outshine the bride!
What time should I arrive?
The official check-in time at the hotel is 3pm. We recommend giving yourselves enough time to settle down and get ready before joining the Welcome Dinner.
If for any reason you cannot join us on the first night, please let us know in advance so we can arrange accordingly.
Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?
The Welcome Dinner and Wedding Ceremony will be outdoor while the Wedding Dinner and After Party will be indoor.
Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?
Yes! We would love for you to take photos and share them with us afterwards.
However, when asked, please refrain from taking photos during the Ceremony.
Do I have to change outfits for every occasion?
Not at all! We just want you to express yourselves and have fun with dressing up and styling. If this is not your thing, it is absolutely fine to stick to the basics. Please respect the relevant dress codes, other than that, just be in whatever makes you comfortable!
What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?
Indoors, you’ll find elegant carpeting and hardwood floors, while the outdoor garden areas have gravel paths.
To ensure your comfort (and protect your fabulous heels!), we’ll provide outdoor heel protectors for all stiletto-wearing guests!

You are the most important people in our lives and your enjoyment of the celebration is of utmost importance to us. We are grateful that you are travelling hundreds of miles to celebrate us. Upon arrival, we recommend taking some time to relax, escape from your busy city schedule and adjust any jet-lags you may have.
We encourage you to explore the beautiful grounds of the Château and activities offered by the hotel, including the serene pond and lovely gardens. One of the reasons of choosing this venue is its soothing scenery and we sincerely hope you cherish it too.
Indulge in the delicious food and drinks prepared by Michelin Guide Chef Maxime Thomas, engage in heartful conversations, capture special moments through photographs, and revel in the endless fun of partying with us!
Last but not least, we kindly ask you to be respectful to fellow guests and show appreciation for the attentive staff.
