- SStephen & Soo ji04/06/2025Warm and Unforgettable Winter Wedding – January 18, 2025Warm and Unforgettable Winter Wedding – January 18, 2025We celebrated our wedding at the Domaine de la Cour des Lys in the middle of January… and despite the weather, everything was perfect! The weather was pleasant, the atmosphere was cozy and charming. The grounds are very well heated, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment without ever feeling cold—neither we nor our guests. We chose an indoor secular ceremony, and it was magical. The dedicated space was intimate and elegant—everything we hoped for, and more. The emotion was there, nice and warm, surrounded by our loved ones. The rest of the weekend was just as seamless: the reception, the on-site accommodations, the shared moments… Being able to privatize the grounds from Friday to Sunday is a true luxury, especially in winter. A special mention goes to Hélène for her kind support and availability throughout the preparations. We recommend the Domaine de la Cour des Lys without hesitation, even (and especially!) for a winter wedding. It's a place that warms the heart. ❤️ We celebrated our wedding at the Domaine de la Cour des Lys in the middle of January… and despite the weather, everything was perfect!

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
It's difficult to choose just one, as each wedding at the Domaine is unique and full of emotion. But one of the most memorable remains that of a French-American couple who brought together their loved ones from around the world for an exceptional weekend.
The secular ceremony took place in our grounds, under century-old trees, with a spectacular floral arch. The reception, elegant and convivial, took place in our Louis XVI room, enhanced by floral decorations in shades of cream and gold. Between touching speeches, a refined dinner, and a festive atmosphere lasting into the early hours, everything came together for a magical moment.
This wedding embodied everything we love: a blend of cultures, laughter, tears of joy, and an atmosphere that was both chic and warm... just like the Domaine.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Planning a wedding can seem daunting, but the important thing is to prioritize what's truly important to you. Define your priorities together, whether it's the venue, the ambiance, or your guests' experience. Surround yourself with trusted vendors to bring your vision to life, and above all, enjoy every step of the way. This day is yours, so make it unique and unforgettable!
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
One of the personal touches that particularly stood out to me was a couple who placed a handwritten card on each table with a keepsake or personalized note for each of their guests. A thoughtful and sincere gesture that deeply touched their loved ones. It's these small, unique gestures, thoughtfully thought out from the heart, that make every wedding so special.
Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.
Elegant, warm, authentic, refined, timeless.
Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
There's no one-size-fits-all spot; photographers are always finding new places. What's really important is capturing the magic of the couple and their love. Whether in the park, in front of the fountain, or in a more intimate corner, the key is to highlight the unique connection they share and the emotions of the day. This is what makes each photo unforgettable.
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
We've had the pleasure of welcoming several well-known figures, who came to celebrate an event or simply enjoy the peace and quiet of the estate. Out of discretion, we never share names, but we are committed to offering each of our guests, whether famous or not, an intimate and unforgettable experience.
What’s your favourite canapé?
A warm mini brioche filled with foie gras or fromage frais with herbs, depending on the season. Delicately placed on a rustic wooden board, it melts in the mouth, promising a refined and warm moment. A simple delight... but always unforgettable.
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
It's hard to resist a slightly warmed red fruit tartlet with a hint of vanilla cream... Especially when enjoyed under the fairy lights of a summer evening in the estate's garden. The crunchiness of the pastry, the softness of the fruit, the scent of vanilla... a little bite of happiness that alone evokes the sweetness and elegance of a successful marriage.
What is your venue's most unique feature?
The most unique feature of our venue is the perfect harmony between history and modernity. The Domaine de la Cour des Lys combines the charm of a historic venue, with its majestic Cour d'Honneur and authentic spaces, while offering modern facilities to ensure the comfort and quality of your events. This blend of timeless elegance and contemporary comfort creates a warm and refined atmosphere, ideal for celebrating unforgettable moments.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of the estate's renovation. My parents and I transformed this historic site into a modern and elegant space, while preserving its authenticity and soul. It's a true labor of love and passion, reflecting our family values and our commitment to providing an exceptional setting for couples and businesses. Seeing this dream come true and seeing the smiles on the faces of our guests reminds me every day of the beauty of this adventure.
