Château de Chéronne

A wedding in Sarthe, western France

Château de Chéronne hosts weddings in Tuffé-Val-de-la-Chéronne, Sarthe, France. The family owners open the estate for receptions and stays to contribute to its upkeep. Four hectares of English-style parkland, a lake and the château façades provide settings for a ceremony, drinks reception, dinner and overnight stays on one estate. Accessible buildings, reserved spaces and timings depend on your package: arrange a visit and request a contractual description before booking.

Marquee, drinks reception and separate capacities

The official packages describe a heated 300 m² marquee with a wooden floor for 250 seated guests, including tables and chairs. The general presentation also advertises 280 for dinner: confirm a layout suited to your guest numbers and dancing space. Outdoor cocktails are advertised for up to 500 guests; this does not guarantee equivalent covered backup. A 130 m² cocktail tent and 50 m² entrance marquees appear in the packages. Capacities for different spaces should not be added together.

Confort, Prestige and Exclusive packages

Confort is offered only on weekdays, with exclusive park access from 2 pm until 10 am the following day. Prestige advertises exclusive use from 3 pm Friday to 5 pm Sunday, the bridal suite and the Moulin cottage for eight guests on Saturday. Exclusive covers the same period and advertises the estate bedrooms for Saturday night, a five-minute fireworks display over the lake and a photo booth with 400 prints and a digital album. These options are not automatically included in every package; availability and conditions should be specified in your quotation.

Catering and reception preparations

The official packages include a dedicated catering tent and three toilets. Commercial information describes a required or affiliated caterer, while the official pages consulted do not provide the complete contractual rule: confirm authorised suppliers before committing. Request menus, dietary and allergy arrangements, children’s meals, drinks, cake, service and included equipment. Commercial mentions of supplying drinks without corkage require reconfirmation for your offer. A supplier list and help with the layout plan are available when preparing your reception.

Estate bedrooms and cottages

The general presentation mentions 22 bedrooms, while Exclusive advertises 23: request a current list of rooms actually reserved instead of adding these figures. The cottages page describes 16 bedrooms and ten bathrooms across four units. The Moulin sleeps eight in four bedrooms with three bathrooms. The Buanderie has four bedrooms and two bathrooms; connecting it with the Séchoir provides seven bedrooms and four bathrooms for 16 guests. The Ferme cottage offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms for ten guests. Packages do not necessarily include every cottage or the same nights.

Budget, timings and contract conditions

No numeric hire tariff appears on the official wedding page consulted on 31 October 2026. Request a quotation specifying year, season, taxes, duration, any minimum guest numbers, accommodation, cleaning, technical equipment, options and extras. Public commercial guide prices do not establish a current official hire price here. The website advertises no party finishing time; this does not replace written confirmation of sound rules, supervision, overnight access and departure. Advance payment, security deposit, balance, cancellation and postponement should be specified in the contract.
