Is your group bigger? There are more rural houses and hotels nearby: we can provide contacts to cover the extra capacity

It's that easy

You imagine it. We help you shape it

  1. 01

    You come to see it

    We walk the estate, the space and the houses, and you tell us what you have in mind

  2. 02

    We shape the idea

    We look at the layout, the accommodation and the possible dates

  3. 03

    We organise what's needed

    We help with what we already work with and put you in touch for the rest

  4. 04

    The weekend arrives

    And you get to focus on being with your people

Wedding services

You don't have to start from scratch

These are the services we already work with. We organise them together, with no fixed packages

Catering

We put you in touch with the caterers we work with

Marquee

The marquee setup for the aperitif and dinner

Photography

Photographers who already know the estate and its light

DJ and sound

Music and sound equipment for the night

Wedding planner

Someone to keep track of everything if you'd rather delegate it

Minibuses

Transfers between the village, the houses and the venue

Every wedding can be different

The space adapts to different formats, layouts and suppliers: we've seen very different weddings in the same venue

If the weather changes, the plan doesn't fall apart

The marquee is waterproof and floored, and the dance hall is an enclosed space, so the aperitif, dinner and party can go ahead without changing location

Frequently asked questions

What people always ask

Capacity depends on the layout you choose and the date. We'd rather work it out with you on site before giving a number, so we don't promise something that later doesn't fit

The estate has 13 independent houses with 120 places in total, and a few kilometres away we have 3 more apartments in Chilla, with 14 places. The exact split depends on which houses are free on your date

A large outdoor space for the ceremony, a floored, waterproof marquee for the aperitif and dinner, an enclosed, equipped dance hall, refurbished restrooms next to the space, and parking

The marquee is waterproof and floored, and the dance hall is an enclosed space. With that, the aperitif, dinner and party can go ahead without changing location. We'll settle the specific plan with you depending on the month

Yes. We'll talk it through beforehand to organise access, timings and setup

Yes: we work with catering, marquee, photography, DJ and sound, wedding planner and minibuses. We'll put you in touch and support you through the organisation

Yes, there is parking for cars next to the celebration space

Yes. The houses are booked by the night, so you can arrive on Friday and stay until Sunday

Yes, and it's what we recommend most. Write to us and we'll arrange a calm visit around the estate, the space and the houses

The sooner the better: the houses are also rented by single nights, so good weekends fill up quickly
