Château de Morey

An intimate Lorraine wedding

In Morey, part of Belleau, Château de Morey hosts weddings in a historic property surrounded by trees between Nancy and Metz. Connected rooms, a separate dance area and outdoor wedding-drinks spaces shape the reception. The layout particularly suits dining for up to 65 adults, with a separate children’s room. Venue hire has been offered since 1998; ask the business directly about your date.

Spaces, capacities and wet-weather backup

Three connected rooms: the exposed-stone main dining room for 60–65 seated adults, an adjoining room for 15–20 children and a dance room decorated with a fresco. Commercial floor areas to reconfirm: reception 80 m², dance room 100 m², children’s room 30 m². The grounds of more than one hectare and their shelter host wedding drinks; vaulted cellars provide wet-weather backup. Do not add the three room capacities or equate an outdoor cocktail capacity with indoor dining capacity.

Catering and meals

The official wedding FAQ offers five designated caterers and an equipped kitchen. Older unrestricted-caterer descriptions conflict with this: do not presume that a supplier outside the network is permitted. Obtain written confirmation of eligible suppliers, catering contracts and charges. Hiring the venue without including meals in its price does not mean unconditional free choice of an outside caterer.

Arrange menus and quotations with the selected caterer. Traditional, regional, international and creative cuisine, together with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher, organic or special-diet adaptations, are commercially advertised; confirm each option, allergen, diet and children’s meal with that supplier, without a blanket guarantee. An outside wedding cake is advertised without surcharge; agree storage and service.

Drinks

Wedding information permits client-supplied drinks, with corkage to be agreed directly with the caterer. No amount or general waiver is confirmed. Drinks may be included in a catering menu depending on the package; specify wines, champagne, soft drinks, quantities, service, glassware, ice and hours in the quotation.

On-site accommodation

Five official guest rooms: La Tourelle for 2, La Châtelaine for 2, Suite Familiale for 4, Émile Friant for 2 and Stanislas for 2. These reviewed configurations do not substantiate older commercial claims of 20 beds. A separate gîte is also presented; confirm its capacity and availability separately. Guest-room breakfast is included; arrival from 5pm and departure before 11am, with possible adjustments subject to availability. Accommodation, spa and brunch are not automatically included in wedding hire.

La Tourelle occupies a tower, with a 160 cm four-poster bed and woodland views, for 2 guests. La Châtelaine is 64 m², with a four-poster bed, walk-in shower, sitting area and valley views, for 2. Suite Familiale separates parents’ and children’s bedrooms, for 4, overlooking the church. Émile Friant accommodates 2, with a large bathroom and grounds views. Stanislas is 43 m², with a 200 × 190 cm bed, bathtub and grounds views, for 2. Wi-Fi, television, hairdryer, bath products, towels, bathrobes and sitting areas are advertised for accommodation. Older gîte figures of €120 per night for two excluding breakfast or €580 per week, minimum two nights, are undated indications to reconfirm, not current wedding rates.

Private hire and ceremony

Private hire and one event per day are advertised for receptions. Define the three rooms, the hired part of the grounds, cellars and actual duration; not all bedrooms and leisure facilities are necessarily exclusive. Symbolic ceremonies are presented in the grounds. The neighbouring Romanesque church does not constitute a hired chapel or permission for a legally binding civil wedding; contact the competent authority.

Prices, inclusions and extras

The current official website offers a personalised quotation, without a firm wedding rate. Non-guaranteed commercial figures checked on 15 October 2026: advertised hire €3,950–€5,000, another range €3,950–€4,550, a stated €4,750 package including cleaning, and an older starting point of €1,850. Dates, duration, season, taxes and scope are not harmonised: request the applicable quotation without combining these figures. Official hire includes three rooms, kitchen, tables and chairs, and parking. Separate catering, drinks/corkage, bedrooms/gîte, brunch, decoration, suppliers, spa, shuttle and technical fees. Older overnight or spa prices are never reception prices.

No general contractual minimum or current small-group surcharge is officially published. A commercial range of 15–100 guests does not replace the official limit of 65 seated adults and the separate children’s room. Older 70- or 90-person limits and standing figures are not additive capacities.

Payment and contract

Reception information lists bank transfer, bank card, cheque or cash. Confirm currently accepted methods, limits and deadlines in the contract; an online bedroom booking is not a confirmed reception-room booking.

No wedding-specific advance percentage, security-deposit amount, balance schedule or cancellation scale is confirmed in the accessible official pages. The website’s general terms concern, among other things, its shop; do not turn them into a private-hire contract. Obtain a quotation and contract covering booking, taxes, insurance, cancellation/postponement, cleaning, damage, staff and handover.

Hours

The official FAQ provides Friday setup from 2pm to 6pm. Music stops at 4am the following day, and a security attendant closes the doors at 5am. Confirm reception start, dismantling, Sunday access and any extensions in writing. Monday–Friday contact hours of 8am–8pm are not hire hours. Guest-room times are separate.

Planning and packages

Turnkey wedding arrangements by quotation: planning support, budget estimates and a network of caterers, photographers, florists and musicians. Couples retain their choices subject to venue conditions. Seminars, birthdays, communions, christenings, cocktail receptions and family celebrations complement wedding hire. No priced all-inclusive package is officially published.

Any complimentary wedding-couple room depends on the package and its conditions: no universal benefit is guaranteed. Specify every inclusion and partner charge in the quotation. The complete digital brochure is available on request with contact details from the estate.

Leisure and equipment

The official website presents an outdoor pool, private 38°C spa with 25 jets, private sauna, massages by reservation, billiards, table football, table tennis, bicycles, library and woodland walks. Mini-golf and pétanque feature in commercial descriptions. Their existence does not guarantee exclusive wedding-guest access, inclusion or supervised swimming. Older spa indications: Nordic tub €30 per hour for two or €50 for four, chalet spa €40 per hour for two; undated figures to reconfirm. Screen, Wi-Fi and sound are advertised for meetings: check equipment, power, connections, heating, air conditioning and use for your wedding. A partner’s presence does not mean the service is included.
