Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay

In Cernay-la-Ville in the Yvelines, Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay hosts weddings on an 80-hectare estate in the Chevreuse Valley. Its wedding page presents exclusive hire of all four buildings, to be arranged with the events team.

A historic setting for the reception

The estate combines reception spaces, accommodation, gardens and woodland surroundings. In its events presentation, the Réfectoire des Moines is described as a 559 m² space for 220 banquet guests or 250 at a cocktail reception. These capacities relate to that specific space and are not an overall maximum for every wedding configuration.

A stay tailored to your plans

The ceremony, meal, rooms and activities must be defined in the exclusive-hire proposal. The presence of a spa or leisure activities on the estate does not mean they are all included in the wedding price.

Access and budget

Private parking with charging points is available. Transfers from railway stations or airports can be arranged with advance booking. No flat-rate wedding price is confirmed here: the quotation must specify the spaces, accommodation, catering and extras.
