- LLaury et Hugo24/03/2026More Than PerfectMore Than PerfectI'll start with the venue, which is absolutely stunning. From the pond and the chapel to the castle and the reception hall, we were captivated from our very first visit. Being able to accommodate everyone at the wedding was a huge plus. That's "perfect." For something "more than perfect," it's the people who work there who add what other venues lack: passion, kindness, and helpfulness. Some are simply there to do their jobs, but here, everything is done with heart, and the guests noticed it immediately. Whether it was the staff serving the drinks reception, the fire pit, or the dining room staff, everyone was incredibly kind. Thank you to the head waiters, especially Jordan and Marion, who were amazing. And of course, a huge thank you to our event coordinator, Laurie, who ensured everything was perfect and who answered all our questions. Thank you again for your smile. I'm still so touched. And the icing on the cake: the meal. I've never eaten such delicious scallop carpaccio! All the guests raved about the meal and the cocktail reception. Thank you to Chef Nico – for your talent, your smile, and for handling our requests with such ease. Hugo and I leave these two days with you filled with emotion and wonderful memories. Even with the best of expectations, I never imagined reaching this level of satisfaction. Thank you, and we'll surely be back for our first wedding anniversary ;)I'll start with the venue, which is absolutely stunning.
