When Bernice & Clarence decided to have their elopement at a Chateau in France, they knew found the perfect place when they found Chateau Challain. Surrounded by a few of their closest friends and family, they exchanged vows on the back lawn with the Chateau serving as a backdrop not even Hollywood could replicate. It’s truly a magical place. We’re excited to share more from this French Chateau Elopement in the Loire Valley!
From a photographer’s perspective, this French Chateau in the Loire Valley is an absolute dream. But beyond the aesthetics, Chateau Challain offers a feeling of intimacy and privacy that makes it perfect for capturing the raw emotions of your elopement day. The way the light plays on the chateau throughout the day creates endless possibilities for capturing truly special moments. The front and back of the Chateau are equally majestic meaning it doesn’t matter what time of day you go out for your photographs. We’ll easily be able to find an amazing angle with perfect light!
If you’re planning an elopement in France, and dream of eloping in a French Chateau, I highly recommend Chateau Challain. Owned, by an American and supported by a fully English-speaking staff, you can rest easy knowing communication will be smooth. Their staff is amazingly kind and attentive and the bottles of bubbles are always chilled and ready! For day-of coordination you’ll likely work with Brett of Mister Brett Events, who also works as the resident florist along with his wife, and plays DJ by night when it’s time to party.
You can book the Chateau for just a few hours and have a super intimate ceremony with just the two of you. You can book it overnight and have a few of your inner circle celebrate with you and dine like royalty after saying I Do. And of course if you’re looking for a more grand celebration, you can have it for the entire weekend and host a welcome event, the wedding day, and a classic French brunch before saying goodbye to this fairytale setting.
