Chateau de Varennes named among the top 10 world’s best wedding venues !

We had a very nice surprise today when opening our mailbox. We got a mail from one of our partners (the lovely Anne Laure owner of etvoila-weddings.com, a London-based wedding planning agency) saying that our beautiful French chateau was selected by CNN among the most amazing places to marry (worldwide !). This was an article featuring other destination weddings but we were the only chateau in France who could pass CNN’s high standards.

And as it was a special article for Valentine’s day, we would like to take this opportunity to wish a Happy Valentine to all our (past, present and future) brides and grooms.

Many thanks to the gorgeous couple (Roksana and Dmitry from Ukraine/Switzerland) + the great photographer David Brenot for the fantastic picture.

We discovered a few that will impress you, your spouse and maybe even the cranky mother-in-law.

Chateau de Varennes in Burgundy, France

French wedding planners Et Voila ! Weddings has the answer for any Francophiles wondering where to get married — they organize nuptials amid the world’s greatest vineyards at the stunning Château de Varennes in Burgundy.
