Venues In Chantilly Fit For A Grand Indian Wedding
Destination Weddings - Nov 27, 2017
There is a special allure to weddings hosted in venues rich with history. The beauty of the architectural legacy, the imposing facades that defy time, the luxurious expanses of manicured gardens – these subtly, effortlessly transform even the smallest of ceremonies into larger than life celebrations, imbued with meaning.
The Château de Chantilly, in Chantilly, France is a castle that dates back to the 18th century. It is opulent, gracious and adept at transforming any wedding into a royal fable. Set in the midst of 593 acres of lush lawns and fabulous gardens, the castle has a wealth of both indoor and outdoor spaces capable of hosting sophisticated celebrations. Here you’ll find the room for a big, fat wedding but coupled with the grace of an intimate one.
The Château de Chantilly is undoubtedly one of the most opulent royal residences in Europe and there are many reasons to host your nuptials here.

Indoor Venues
A sophisticated soirée
The Gallery of Battles almost demands a period themed cocktail party with masks, hats and elaborate costume. With space for 100 guests, the room is an exemplar of the ceremonial décor of the 18th century; decorative architecture, furniture and paintings by the old masters.

Une affaire intime…
The grandeur and elegance of The Painting Gallery are immediately evident in its octagonal construction. Reminiscent of the Tribuna in Florence’s Uffizi Gallery, the room was designed by the Duke of Aumale to present to his guests, a panorama of art history. It’s perfect for an intimate gathering of about 50 of your closest family and friends.

A la royauté…
Once the venue of the French royalty’s hospitality, where the princes hosted receptions for the kings, the Stables is an architectural masterpiece of the 18th century and a great option to host a wedding dinner. If it is a personalized show that you would want your guests to have the pleasure of watching, then the majestic dome of the Great Stables makes for a fitting choice. Under the 28 metres high ceiling lies a ring and stands that can accommodate up to 600 spectators.

Outdoor Venues
Le grand air…
Hold your breath, you’re spoilt for choice here. The Grounds have not one, not two, but three individually styled venues – each more pretty than the next. You can host your wedding in The English Gardens with its 19th-century appeal, an Island of Love and a Temple of Venus. The Jardin de la Volière accommodates 600 people and is connected to the English Gardens which is a great option if you have a large guest list. And finally, Le Nôtre, is a garden in the French aesthetic and can even accommodate temporary structures required for customized events.

Sous les étoiles
Dance under the stars in a space that has exceptional acoustics and magical lighting. The Cour des Remises is open to sky and the perfect place to host a reception with a view of the night sky. Its 2,000 sq. feet with its sumptuous paved courtyard will comfortably accommodate large gatherings and there is provision to set up temporary structures in case of inclement weather.
