A Fairytale Wedding at Château du Grand-Lucé
Nestled in the heart of the Loire Valley, Château du Grand-Lucé is a captivating venue that transforms wedding dreams into a stunning reality. With its origins rooted in nobility, the Château exemplifies elegance through its meticulously maintained classical French gardens and imposing eighteenth-century neoclassical architecture. This forty-five thousand square foot estate offers an alluring setting for those seeking an extraordinary backdrop to their nuptials.
The indoors feature a ballroom of regal dimensions, formerly the stables, reimagined to host events throughout the year, regardless of the weather outside. Original twelve-foot tall windows grace the ballroom, adorned with luxurious Pierre Frey velvet drapes, inspired by the garden’s verdant hues. The splendor is complemented by exquisite French oak point de Hongrie flooring and the glistening crystal chandeliers and sconces, enveloping guests in opulent grandeur.
The Château’s expansive eighty acres offer an otherworldly escape, bordered by a charming medieval wall and encompassing a serene lake, lush meadows, and an ancient white oak forest. The venue boasts a breathtaking orangerie, functional greenhouses, an exotic garden complete with a swimming pool, and enchanting sculptures gifted by King Louis XV himself. Courtyards, terraces, and secret gardens provide countless romantic hideaways, each offering unique possibilities for intimate gatherings or lavish ceremonies.
Whether envisioning a grand celebration reminiscent of noble grandeur or a quaint garden soirée, Château du Grand-Lucé offers a timeless canvas for every couple’s enchanting love story.
