Such a beautiful daySuch a beautiful day
We are delighted to have chosen Domaine d'Essendiéras for our wedding reception this summer. The venue is magnificent, and the service was very professional and attentive, from the cocktail reception, dinner, and brunch, which our guests confirmed were all a success! We would also like to highlight the excellent support provided by Karine, Clarisse, Josefien, and Helena from the beginning of the preparations up to and including the big day. A huge thank you to the Domaine for making this celebration an unforgettable moment!We are delighted to have chosen Domaine d'Essendiéras for our wedding reception this summer.

The wedding of our dreamsThe wedding of our dreams
Our wedding was a true fairy tale, a magical moment that will remain etched in our memories. We owe this in large part to this exceptional venue and the extraordinary team that runs it. We were fortunate to enjoy the estate for three days and two nights. The day before, we organized a welcome dinner, followed on the big day by a secular ceremony, a reception, dinner, and a memorable evening. The next day, a brunch wonderfully concluded the celebrations. Everything was absolutely perfect, from start to finish. The setting is breathtakingly beautiful. Over the three days, we were able to vary the ambiance between the back of the château, the terrace of the main château, the clubhouse, the pagodas, and many other spaces. Our guests, like us, were amazed at every moment. The quality of the cuisine deserves a special mention. The dishes were exquisite, worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant, according to some guests. Every culinary detail contributed to making the experience even more unforgettable. We were also able to accommodate more than half of our guests on-site, who were able to enjoy the venue's activities (swimming pool, golf, paddle tennis, fishing, etc.). The organization, meanwhile, was impeccable: seamless, professional, and reassuring at every step. Karine was incredibly available, attentive, and highly professional, ensuring that our wishes were respected while anticipating our needs during the preparations. On the day of the wedding, Josefien and Kate took great care of us. Their constant attention—making sure we were comfortable, offering us food and drink—was invaluable. Thanks to their perfect coordination, we were able to fully experience every moment, without having to worry about a thing. A huge thank you to the entire team for making this the most beautiful day of our lives. We recommend this venue and its services without hesitation to any future bride or groom seeking perfection and serenity. Congratulations again and thank you so much!Our wedding was a true fairy tale, a magical moment that will remain etched in our memories.

My day was perfect despite unforeseen weather events which the team managed smoothly. All the guests were amazed by the kindness of the teams, the prestige of the estate, and the quality of the meal. I can't tell you how much I thank the teams in the field for their support beforehand and how they handled the big day.
