Wedding Venues in Burgundy

Chateau Vitry La Ville sits on the northern edge of the Burgundy-Champagne border, where 17 hectares of French gardens designed by Andre Le Notre create a formal, symmetrical backdrop rarely found outside royal estates. The grounds feature creeks, ponds, and sculpted hedgerows that reflect the refined landscape traditions of this corner of France, where Champagne vineyards meet Burgundian farmland. The estate's scale and garden heritage make it particularly well suited to outdoor ceremonies framed by centuries of horticultural craft.

As a Signature member venue, Chateau Vitry La Ville benefits from its position between Reims and the northern Burgundy wine route, giving guests easy access to both Champagne houses and Burgundian cellars. The Le Notre gardens provide multiple distinct settings for ceremonies, cocktails, and photographs across the estate's considerable grounds.

Domaine Reveillon pairs a 384-square-metre glass-fronted orangery with an English-style park of century-old trees and a reflective pond, creating a venue where indoor and outdoor spaces flow together naturally. The orangery, positioned between the chateau and pool, seats 250 guests with a dancefloor, its glass walls framing views of the Burgundian parkland. Gravel courtyards open onto the estate's grounds, providing a classic French country setting for cocktail hours and group photographs.

On-site accommodation for 48 guests is spread across chateau suites and four private cottages, keeping the wedding party together for a full weekend on the estate. The combination of a large, modern reception space with traditional Burgundian architecture and mature parkland makes Domaine Reveillon well suited to couples who want both scale and intimacy within a single property.

Chateau du Fey occupies a hilltop in the Yonne department of northern Burgundy, overlooking the Yonne Valley from within 103 acres of private forest studded with 400-year-old oak trees. The property sits on the historic route between Paris and the Cote d'Or wine estates, a position that has shaped its identity as a gateway to Burgundy's viticultural heartland. The 450-square-metre Orangerie, set in the walled vegetable garden, provides a sheltered reception space that opens to views across the valley, while the continental climate is tempered by the surrounding woodland.

With 28 bedrooms and 30 glamping tents sleeping up to 160 guests, the estate can host a full wedding weekend without anyone leaving the grounds.

Abbaye de la Ferte holds a singular place in Burgundy's history as the first daughter house of the Cistercian abbey of Citeaux, the birthplace of the entire Cistercian order. Located in Saint-Ambreuil in the Saone-et-Loire department, the 18th-century abbey sits within an English-style park of centenarian trees, shaded meadows, and flowering groves that feel distinctly Burgundian in their understated beauty. The former monks' refectory, now a 200-square-metre orangery, provides a reception space where carved wooden panelling and monastic proportions set a tone that no modern venue can replicate.

The abbey seats 180 guests in the refectory, with outdoor ceremonies held in the surrounding gardens near Tournus and Chalon-sur-Saone.
