An intimate wedding in the most romantic city in the world. Where else could it be, other than eloping to Paris? But in case you still want some extra? How does it sound if you do your elopement in a castle at the golden hour of the sunset? We are so proud to have been able to help our couples fully enjoy their memorable day; whether the wedding venue is in the bustling city center or a majestic castle.
Perks of eloping in a castle/chateau
The rich history & architecture
French castles are living history witnesses in our modern days. The castles near Paris are usually built from the 17th to the 19th century, which means they contain hundreds of years of stories. Architectural beauty is always splendid and sophisticated. In addition to that, in every castle, there are usually gorgeous gardens, vast green lawns that are carefully trimmed. These will definitely bring you an experience of a “royal wedding”. Or like the childhood dreams of living in a magical fairy tale.
The uniqueness
Your elopement should always be unique since you both are unique and special! The place you celebrate your wedding should be unique too! And you know, there are no castles that are the same!

According to our experience, not too many couples know that it is possible to have an elopement wedding in a castle near Paris. Compared to other beautiful public venues in the city, especially the Eiffel Tower, you will have to wake up very early to celebrate your ceremony (to avoid the tourist crowds).

Possibility for the best of both worlds
Truth be told, France is a breathtaking country for a memorable elopement and/or honeymoon. There are so many possibilities in the country, and especially inside the heart of the city of love and near the Paris region. Around an hour’s drive from Paris, you will have a few choices of gorgeous castles to celebrate your elopement wedding, an example in this post would be chateau Bouffemont. It’s totally possible to have the best of both worlds, meaning having your moments captured in Paris in the morning and then driving away to your castle experience in the afternoon.
Castle Wedding Elopement Timeline
This day was truly memorable. Our couple opted for the A-la-carte package with us as their elopement planner, the result turned out so magnificent at Chateau Bouffemont. As the weather slowly moves from autumn to winter, a little chill couldn’t make the excitement anything less. Both the bride and groom are gorgeous and radiant!
The preparation & stationery shots
We always encourage the bride and groom to include their preparation moments in their elopement; as it tells a complete story of their day from beginning to end. We also love that even if with an intimate wedding, some couples still decide to keep the “first look” as it’s a really touching moment. Besides that, we also arranged elopement stationery set for their day with stories of their lives, their vow cards, and some printed phrases that are meaningful to them both.
Intimate Ceremony during sunset at a Castle wedding Paris
When the sun is setting down behind the castle, it creates such a magical and majestic atmosphere for our couple’s elopement. Along with the floral design and candles on the steps, it adds even more to the intimacy and personal touches to the special day. No words can describe the emotion of this scene. As if everything in the world stops for a moment to focus on our two lovers; gazing at each other passionately, exchanging vows in pure happiness.
And of course, once the ceremony is over, what could be more perfect than to stir up the atmosphere with a fun champagne shower? You know us 😉
Who says your Paris intimate Castle wedding cannot have cake?

We dedicated some time to do a wedding photoshoot for the newlyweds after the ceremony. With the light of the golden hour shining over everything around here, taking advantage of it is a must! Especially when the bride wore a sparkling dress, while the groom wore a dark orange suit. Their wedding attire truly makes them so stylish and cool.
