  • The attire for the wedding is black tie optional.

    Ladies: full length dresses

    Gentleman: Tuxedos or suits

  • Both are wonderful options, and it really depends on the kind of experience you want. Staying in Paris is ideal if you want to spend more time exploring the city, restaurants, and neighborhoods, and we expect most guests will choose to stay there. Please keep in mind that transportation from Paris on the day of the wedding will take over an hour. Bouffémont is a great option for those who prefer a quieter setting closer to the Château. The surrounding area offers activities such as horseback riding, golf, and hiking, and it is also near Chantilly, which makes for a perfect day trip.

  • The ceremony and reception will be held outdoors until 10:00 PM, after which the party will continue indoors in the Salon and Lounge. The average temperature in Paris is typically around 73°F (23°C) during the day and 56°F (13°C) at night, so you may want to bring a light jacket for the evening.

  • Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. Thank you for understanding!

  • While we adore your little ones, due to limited capacity, we have chosen to make our wedding weekend adults, with the exception of immediate family.

  • We will provide transportation the day of the wedding from the center city of Paris to the chateau and back.

    The bus will arrive at Palais Garnier at 2:30pm for pickup before the wedding.

    3:00 PM bus will depart from Palais Garnier (Opéra Garnier) for Château Bouffémont.

    1:00AM Return transportation from the château to Palais Garnier.

  • Yes. While it tastes better, results will be similar.

  • We are so grateful for the effort so many of you are making to celebrate with us, so please know that gifts are absolutely not expected! But for those of you who insist, we’ve set up a honeymoon fund here.
