Vaux-le-Vicomte Private Château Wedding · near Paris, France

The château that inspired Versailles, an evening of grand-siècle splendor, and a couple whose names we'll keep to ourselves.

Some celebrations ask for discretion as much as they ask for grandeur. For this private wedding at the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, our VIP clients gathered their closest circle beneath Le Nôtre's gardens and Le Brun's painted ceilings ... a setting that has humbled kings, dressed for one unforgettable night.

Working with Alejandra Poupel and Alexandra Juan from Artego Luxury Events set a high standard from the start. The entertainment, décor, florals by Roni Floral Design, VIP singers whose names we cannot disclose, an orchestra and video-mapping projected onto the walls all made the event exceptional ... down to a cake by Bastien Blanc Tailleur that was incredible on every level.

With the photography of Maddy Christina, we filmed candlelit vows, a dinner beneath the painted salons, and dancing that carried through the château until the small hours ... all with the quiet footprint this couple asked of us. Vaux-le-Vicomte, known as the little Versailles, is one of the few places with so much history that can be privatised ... if you are looking for the wow factor for your wedding, this is the place to go.
