Trouwen in Provence
De Provence is lavendel, platanen, stenen bastides en een licht waar fotografen hun hele loopbaan omheen plannen. Het past bij stellen die een landelijk Frans weekend willen met wijn als middelpunt: een domaine of château, een lange borrel in de schaduw, buiten eten tot laat. Het is nuttig om de Franse vorm van een bruiloft te begrijpen voordat jullie gaan plannen, want een volledige dag begint hier traditioneel laat en loopt nog later door, met de vin d'honneur als brug tussen de ceremonie en een diner dat eerder om negen dan om zeven uur begint.
Locaties worden vaak kaal verhuurd: jullie brengen zelf de cateraar, het meubilair, het personeel en soms de stroom mee, dus vergelijk offertes op het totaalbedrag, nooit op de huurprijs. Wat stellen verrast, is de mistral – een harde droge wind die zonder waarschuwing kan opsteken en een bloemstuk bij het gangpad plat legt – en hoe streng landelijke gemeenten hun stiltetijden bewaken. Vraag naar allebei voordat je tekent, en houd de decoratie stevig van bouw in plaats van hoog en fijn.

De drie waar mensen op stuklopen
Weet dit voordat je boekt
1
Veel locaties worden kaal verhuurd: de huurprijs koopt alleen de muren en het uitzicht. Vraag om een schriftelijke lijst van wat er wel bij zit, van stoelen en glaswerk tot toiletten en aggregaten.
2
De mistral kan in het voorjaar en het najaar hard uitschieten. Kies stevige, lage decoratie voor buiten en spreek een windplan af met de bloemist.
3
Landelijke gemeenten handhaven geluidsnormen 's nachts. Bevestig de eindtijd voor versterkte muziek en of het feest daarna binnen door mag gaan.
Ernaartoe komen
Marseille, Nice en Nîmes bedienen de streek door de lucht, en de TGV van Parijs naar Avignon of Aix doet er minder dan drieënhalf uur over, waardoor de trein voor Europese gasten echt aantrekkelijk wordt. De locaties liggen op het platteland, dus de meeste gasten hebben een auto of een plek in jullie pendelbus nodig. Vermeld naast de luchthaven ook het dichtstbijzijnde station, want een deel van jullie gastenlijst reist liever met de trein.
Voordat je iemand iets belooft
Stellen uit het buitenland ronden het juridische huwelijk vaak in eigen land af en houden een symbolische ceremonie bij de domaine. Waar een burgerlijk huwelijk ter plaatse mogelijk is, verschillen de voorwaarden, documenten, vertalingen en eventuele woon- of afkondigingstermijnen per nationaliteit, per gemeente en door de tijd heen. Dit is geen juridisch advies: controleer de huidige situatie bij het lokale gemeentehuis en bij jullie eigen instanties voordat jullie iets boeken.
Trouwregels verschillen per land, per regio en zelfs per gemeente, en ze veranderen. Zie dit als oriëntatie, niet als juridisch advies: controleer de papieren bij de plaatselijke autoriteit én bij je eigen gemeente voordat je iets boekt.

Offline verzameld via onderzoek op de eigen website van elke locatie, nooit een live feed en nooit betaald. Een locatie staat hier omdat ze bestaat en bruiloften ontvangt, niet omdat Vow haar aanbeveelt; de regel eronder is wat een planner je zou laten checken voordat je een offerte aanvraagt.

One of the larger seated capacities in the Luberon, with listed gardens and two courtyards for outdoor dinners north of Aix-en-Provence. There is no on-site accommodation mentioned, so plan guest lodging in Pertuis or Lourmarin.

- Capaciteit
- restaurant seats up to 150 guests
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Contemporary hamlet-style hotel at Saint-Saturnin-les-Apt with 37 rooms, suites and villas sleeping up to 90 people, which is a bed count rather than a reception figure. Suits couples who want the whole estate and their guests staying on site.
private hamlet estate

- Prijs
- EUR 16,000 plus TVA for up to 60 guests; EUR 20,000 plus TVA for up to 100 guests

- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Twelfth-century former priory and working vineyard at Puyvert, with a chapel, inner courtyard and vaulted rooms, and a nomadic tent option for larger dinners. Nine bedrooms across the chateau and the Mas de Puyvert are sleeping capacity, not seated capacity.

- up to 120 guests
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Twelfth-century priory at Rognes between Aix-en-Provence and the Luberon, with a Romanesque chapel, walled courtyard and a hectare of parkland. Only about six bedrooms sleeping 16 people, so most of a 120-guest list stays off site.
vineyard estate
La Verrière (Chêne Bleu)
- Capaciteit
- on average up to 120 seated guests
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Restored medieval priory and organic vineyard above Crestet near Vaison-la-Romaine, with several outdoor ceremony spots and a grand vaulted hall for smaller dinners. Only seven guest rooms on site, and the estate publishes an April to October season, so check dates early.

- Capaciteit
- the large restaurant room seats up to 150 persons
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Nineteenth-century neo-medieval castle standing in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards, about 20 minutes from Avignon, with a panoramic terrace used for the cocktail hour. It is a working hotel and restaurant, so confirm whether exclusive use of the whole house is available on your date.

- Capaciteit
- indoor venues from 20 to 250 sq m and outdoor spaces for up to 2,000 people
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Organic winery and sculpture park north of Aix-en-Provence where the art centre and gardens can be privatised depending on guest numbers. The 2,000 figure covers the largest outdoor spaces, so ask which specific room or terrace is being quoted for a seated dinner.
coastal estate
Domaine de Canaille
- Capaciteit
- a maximum of 110 guests
- Prijs
- wedding rental from EUR 40,000 to EUR 130,000 depending on dates, guest numbers, events and length of stay
Sixty-hectare seafront estate at Cassis inside the Calanques national park, 30 minutes from Marseille, with a four-night minimum and only two large weddings taken per year. The house itself is off limits to wedding guests, everything happens outdoors, so a marquee is required as the rain plan.
chateau estate
Domaine des Barrenques
- Capaciteit
- 10 to 198 persons
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Fifteenth-century chateau in a six-hectare park near Avignon, with 14 rooms and 42 beds on the estate and further gites nearby. The estate publishes hard rules: amplified sound at night is indoors only, the Magnanerie closes at 4am and the premises must be handed back by 5pm the next day.
chateau
Château La Tour Vaucros
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Private estate at Sorgues, minutes from Avignon and close to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, that privatises for weddings and private events with a guest house on site. Neither capacity nor rates are on the site, so the brochure request is the first step.
bastide hotel
Le Galinier
- Capaciteit
- outdoor terraces for a maximum of 120 people; the Villa Bastide kitchen seats up to 32
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Eighteenth-century bastide on the edge of Lourmarin, run by the Beaumier group and available for exclusive private events. The 120 figure applies to the outdoor terraces, so ask what the wet-weather plan seats.
bastide
Bastide de Puget
- Capaciteit
- up to 180 guests indoors or outdoors for cocktails, dinners and buffets
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Eighteenth-century family house at Meyreuil in a four-hectare park, roughly ten minutes from Aix-en-Provence and twenty from Marseille, with views to Montagne Sainte-Victoire. Privatised for an evening or a full weekend; only a handful of bedrooms, so plan hotels in Aix.
vineyard estate
Domaine Les Perpetus
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Working vineyard and olive estate at La Tour-d'Aigues in the southern Luberon, about ten minutes from Pertuis, with a restored bastide reception space and on-site guest cottages. The site publishes lodging capacities only, so ask for the reception figures in writing.
fortified farm estate
Domaine Le Petit Roulet
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Sixteenth-century fortified farm near Cavaillon built around a large plane-shaded courtyard, privatised for three days and three nights year-round. Its five bedrooms sleep 13 to 17, which is accommodation rather than reception capacity.
chateau
Château de Pradines
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Listed historic monument on a family estate at Grambois in the southern Luberon, released for only a small number of exclusive weekends each year. Catering runs through one exclusive partner, so check whether an outside caterer is possible before you fall in love with it.
chateau
Château Martinay
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Eighteenth-century residence on a 35-hectare estate at Carpentras, with a 700 sq m main courtyard and a 600 sq m southern terrace and frescoed indoor salons. The whole property is exclusive during the stay; 12 rooms sleep up to 24, so most guests will need hotels in Carpentras.
coaching inn estate
Le Relais du Grand Logis
- Capaciteit
- wedding room for up to 100 people
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Sixteenth-century former coaching inn at Mirabeau between Pertuis and Manosque, half an hour north of Aix-en-Provence, with a pool, gardens and outdoor ceremony spaces. Unusually for the region it sleeps 50 to 72 people on site across 11 apartments and four guest rooms.
estate
Domaine la Castelette
- Capaciteit
- up to 250 seated for dinner indoors, up to 300 for an indoor cocktail
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A family-run Luberon estate with indoor reception space large enough for a 250-guest seated dinner, which puts it among the bigger-capacity options in the region. On-site sleeping accommodation is limited relative to that headcount, so confirm how many beds are included and plan coach transfers for the rest.
estate
Clos du Tuilier
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A privatised stone hamlet at Oppedette in the high Luberon, with a barn, grounds, pool and lavender, suiting couples who want the whole property to themselves for a multi-day celebration. Neither capacity nor rates are published, so request both in writing early, and check road access and driving times from Avignon for guests.
estate
Domaine du Grand Lauron
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
Eleven hectares of grounds at Cadenet with a reception room, lake and pools, plus gîtes and guest rooms so a core group can stay on site. The site does not publish a seated capacity, so get the reception-room figure confirmed before you build a guest list.
bastide
La Bastide de Marie
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A small vineyard bastide at Ménerbes run as a boutique hotel, better suited to an intimate wedding built around a long lunch than to a large seated dinner. Everything is handled by an in-house events team on request, so expect a bespoke quotation rather than a rate card, and confirm whether exclusive use of the house is required.
mas
Mas de la Rose
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A 17th-century mas on a 20-hectare Alpilles estate at Orgon, taken on full privatisation, with 12 rooms sleeping 28 on site. Reception capacity is not published, so ask for the seated figure and clarify whether catering must come through the house.
mas
Domaine La Mérindole
- Capaciteit
- up to around 150 seated, up to 200 guests for a cocktail
- Prijs
- EUR 5,990 incl. VAT for the Saturday day package; EUR 2,990 incl. VAT more for the full weekend
One of the few Provence venues that publishes a clear rate, which makes it a workable anchor for a mid-budget plan near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The published figure is venue hire only, so confirm what catering, staffing and rentals add before you compare it with all-inclusive quotes elsewhere.
chateau
Château de la Garde
- Capaciteit
- up to 200 guests for dinner
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A wooded château estate at Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade, roughly fifteen minutes from Aix, that runs the full sequence from ceremony through to next-day brunch with accommodation on site. Rates are quoted privately, so ask what the base hire covers and how many beds are included.
chateau
Château d'Ayguebelle
- Capaciteit
- 200 seated in the main hall; the pergola takes up to 250
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
An 18th-century bastide at Lambesc near Aix with a hall sized for a 200-guest seated dinner and a covered pergola as the larger outdoor space. A useful option for bigger guest lists; confirm the music curfew and whether the pergola is a genuine wet-weather alternative.
mas
Le Mas des Cigalines
- Capaciteit
- up to 160 seated or 250 for a cocktail
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A Vaucluse mas at Mazan with modular indoor rooms and landscaped grounds under Mont Ventoux, working equally well for a mid-sized seated dinner or a larger standing reception. Ask how the two rooms combine at your headcount, and check on-site sleeping arrangements, which are not detailed publicly.
winery
Château Beauchêne
- Capaciteit
- largest indoor spaces take up to 150 people
- Prijs
- EUR 4,250 to EUR 7,350 incl. VAT per day, depending on season and day of the week
A working Rhône wine estate that publishes a transparent day rate covering privatisation, gardens, reception rooms, round tables, 50 cocktail chairs, security and cleaning. Catering and most furniture sit outside that figure, so price the full package; the seasonal spread means a weekday or shoulder-season date changes the cost materially.
hotel
Airelles Gordes, La Bastide
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A luxury hotel built into the hillside at Gordes with terraced gardens over the Luberon valley, 40 rooms and suites, and full or partial privatisation available at the top of the market. Weddings run April to October only, so a winter or early-spring date rules it out.
chateau
Château du Griffon
- Capaciteit
- 200 outdoors, 160 indoors
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A privatised Luberon estate at Saint-Martin-de-Castillon with a 300 m2 marquee, an indoor hall and 60 beds on site, which supports a full weekend rather than a single evening. It sits well east of Avignon, so build in longer transfer times for guests arriving by TGV.
chateau
Château de Tourreau
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A château at Sarrians with 20 acres of grounds, an infinity pool and 16 rooms sleeping 29 guests across the château and farm buildings, suited to a house-party wedding for a smaller group. Reception capacity is not published, so confirm the seated figure and whether the hire is tied to a minimum stay.
lavender estate
Terre Ugo
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
An organic lavender farm near Aix-en-Provence with two converted stone barns and a courtyard, giving the lavender-field ceremony many couples come to Provence for. Capacity is not published and the barn footprint is modest, so confirm the seated maximum, and note lavender is only in bloom for a short window around late June and July.
hotel
Le Vallon de Valrugues
- Capaciteit
- restaurant up to 130 banquet-style; Provence room up to 80; Mistral room up to 70
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A hotel, spa and villas property in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence with several sized rooms, so it scales from a small dinner to around 130 guests without changing venue. Being a working hotel, ask whether your date can be held on exclusive use or whether other guests will be in residence.
wine estate
Château d'Estoublon
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A wine and olive estate at Fontvieille below the Alpilles, privatised with 10 suites and rooms plus private chef and butler service, aimed at the high end of the market. No capacity or rate is published, so both need to come from the estate directly before you shortlist it.
bastide
La Bastide de Laurence
- Capaciteit
- up to 40 guests on a four-night stay, or up to 80 on a seven-night stay
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A privately rented bastide near L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue that takes only a few weddings a year and ties the wedding to a four- or seven-night booking, so the whole party effectively moves in. Availability is the constraint rather than the design: the site shows near-term years sold out, so approach it two to three years ahead.
wine estate
Château Grand Boise
- Capaciteit
- the Le Jas reception hall holds up to 250 guests
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A 17th-century bastide and working vineyard at Trets below Montagne Sainte-Victoire, with a 300 m2 reception hall for large seated dinners and gardens for the daytime. Caterers are freely chosen rather than imposed, which helps control budget; on-site beds are limited, so plan transport back to Aix.
reception venue
Domaine de l'Hexagone
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A purpose-built reception venue at Coudoux near Aix with two halls of 300 m2 and 200 m2 in olive-planted grounds, a practical and less expensive alternative to a historic estate. Only room sizes are published, so ask for seated and standing capacities and check whether accommodation exists nearby.
hotel
Domaine de Fontenille
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A 17th-century bastide at Lauris run as a Relais and Châteaux hotel among its own vineyards, offering privatisation for couples wanting hotel-standard service and dining in the Luberon. Nothing is published on capacity or price, so treat it as a quotation-only venue and ask what exclusive use of the hotel requires.
bastide
La Bastide de Toursainte
- Capaciteit
- up to 200 people outdoors; 90 guests for a seated dinner indoors
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A restored 19th-century bastide 15 minutes from Marseille's Old Port, with a plane-tree alley for the ceremony, period salons and 24 bedrooms on site. The indoor seated figure is well below the outdoor one, so agree a genuine wet-weather plan for a guest list above 90.
mas
Mas Sous le Marronnier
- Capaciteit
- up to 120 seated and 250 standing
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A renovated 19th-century farmhouse near Cavaillon between Gordes and L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, with a stone reception room and olive-planted park, aimed at straightforward mid-sized Provençal weddings. Confirm the number of beds on site and the evening noise cut-off, as the property sits in open countryside near neighbours.
hotel
Mas de Cure Bourse
- Capaciteit
- not published
- Prijs
- not published — ask for the brochure
A small hotel and restaurant in a Provençal mas outside L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, with a reception room, garden and parking, suiting a modest guest list that wants food and rooms in one place. Neither capacity nor rates are published, so ask for both along with whether the restaurant closes to the public on your date.
