Description

HISTORY

Situated in the lush and stunning Perigord Vert, land of truffles and foie gras in South West France the Chateau was originally the home of barons (with our own coat of arms) the castle was built on an ancient base from the 1400s. The estate was then transformed by a quirky 1800s French Artisan, renown for his religious art (he has streets named after him for it) and penchant for all things English. He and his eclectic heirs, such as his ghostly white daughter Blanche, left their workshop, two chapels, and an indelible footprint on the property - transforming it from a hunting lodge to a towering gothic tribute that stands in superb condition to this day. The chateau was more recently a summer resort for French Ministers' families before being sold as a 13-hectare private estate.

After three years of renovations we believe that the Chateau and Estate could be the ideal venue for your very special event - We pride ourselves on being a little different and love to share our home for such special occasions.

OFFERING

The Chateau provides exclusive wedding rentals and includes a selection of unique spaces ideal for your ceremony, wedding breakfast and cocktail receptions including our very own Chapels. Whether indoor, taking advantage of the grand features and character of the Chateau or outdoors in the tranquil parkland the choice is yours - the Chateau is flexible and we are too.

This, accompanied by a total of 17 bedrooms over three floors, and an additional 2 bedrooms on site which together provide accommodation for up to 40 people at maximum occupancy, the Chateau is perfect for a group stay to accompany the Wedding.

From the experience for your guests during their stay to the practicalities of hosting a wedding event we have tried to think of everything ! We have contacts for accommodation and transport providers locally for those not staying at Chateau d'Oche.

Location

Ah, Nouvelle-Aquitaine! Home to Aquitaine, Limousin and Poitou-Charentes. This is quite possibly the ideal wedding destination for any happy couple.

Aquitaine is home to Bordeaux and it is more than possible for you to get married near to the breath-taking Dordogne, or even near the Basque Villages. This is along the Spanish border and there is so much for you to see and do. The hot springs that are in Nouvelle-Aquitaine are not to be missed and this is great if you want to pamper yourself after the big day. Poitou-Charentes is on the Atlantic Coast and the sandy white beaches are culturally stimulating ad the most beautiful location to get married in France. Famous for its beautiful architecture as well as its incredible food and wine, This region has it all. Castles from yesteryear adorn every hilltop and the region is a must for anyone who enjoys their food. Local specilaities include truffles, foie gras, prunes and of course wine, so every wedding will be full of amazing cuisine and your guests will not be disappointed. If it is the classic French chateau that you are after for your wedding in France then you have to conside Nouvelle Aquitaine and the surrounding areas!

Of course, you also have the Marias Poitevan wetlands, and this is not to be missed either. You can get to this area via train and flights also run to this area as well. This is easily one of the most beautiful areas for wedding venues in the whole of France and the activities there include horse riding, wine-tasting and relaxing on some of the sandy shores. The region features many destinations with cultural and touristic significance locations like the Citadel of Blaye, Saint-Emilion, La Rochelle, Aquarium, Arcachon and the Dune du Pilat. All of these areas have a rich historical background that could be considered when choosing wedding venues in the region. Nothing can quite compare to the experience you will get when you visit this location, and it is one of the best places for you to say those special words, “I Do!”.

Reviews

  • Wow! What more can we say. The most beautiful venue with the warmest of welcomes. We had our wedding at Chateau Unique in August 2023 and it was absolutely perfect. The chateau is renovated to such a high standard yet and feels luxurious whilst retaining a relaxed, family feel. We were greeted with a wonderful hamper of breakfast items and the owner appeared with more banana bread and eggs than we could ever wish for. Beyond delicious! Making arrangements for our wedding with Chateau Unique has been so easy and definitely had the personal touch. There’s a lot included in the hire package which saves any bride and groom a lot of additional planning. We also came across some garden games and had a post-wedding day game of croquet.
    Chateau Unique will always have a special place in our hearts and there were many tears when having to say goodbye for now. It is beyond beautiful and we couldn’t have dreamt of anything more for our wedding! We are forever grateful.

  • One of the most well presented and preserved chateaus I have stayed in. My experience at the Chateau was exceptional and we were so pleased to be guests at our friends wedding. Opulent and luxury would be the words that come to mind when reflecting on my stay. The host Leslie, was always available to make our stay exceptionally comfortable and it was certainly the kind of escape I needed after the repetitive, daily grind. The whole experience and big day was expectional! Just a recommendation... we stayed in the Yellow room and the views were breathtaking. Would certainly recommend and shall be returning very soon. Thank you Leslie.
