The area

The château stands on a hillside of the Entre-deux-Mers, facing the Garonne valley, between Bordeaux and Cadillac-sur-Garonne. On Saturday mornings the market fills the old walled town of Cadillac, below its ducal château. At the Maison des Vins de Cadillac you taste the local sweet whites, and the Roger-Lapébie greenway crosses the Entre-deux-Mers by bike, with a detour to the abbey of La Sauve-Majeure, a UNESCO site.

Who is Fervenza?

Fervenza is a French company for all-inclusive weddings. With Émilie and the whole team, we're already planning weddings for 2027 and 2028.

  • A French company, licensed for live events Your contract is governed by French law, and written in English too
  • Insured for professional liability
How much does a wedding at Château Sentout cost?

From €61,000, all-inclusive, for about 100 guests: the venue, the table, the flowers, the music, your photos, and us on site. Your exact price depends on your date and guest count, in writing within a week.

Can the price change?

Once you agree, no. It only changes if you change the wedding: more or fewer guests, or something you add along the way.

What if one of our suppliers can't make it?

We replace them. They're our suppliers, under our contract, so the two of you have nothing to search for or renegotiate. You approve the choice, and we take care of the rest.

Can we insure our wedding?

Yes, if you wish. We can offer optional cancellation insurance dedicated to your wedding, placed with Lloyd's. It covers cancelling or postponing for reasons beyond your control, including if one of you can't be there, as set out in the policy terms.

What if we booked the château directly?

You can, it's a lovely house. The château rents you its estate, its 24 rooms, its furniture and its kitchens. You then bring together the caterer, the drinks, the flowers, the decor, the music, the photographer and the running of the day. With us, all of that is in your price, every choice stays yours, and the château keeps its own rate. You come to get married.

How many guests can we invite?

Up to 100 at the table indoors, and 120 outdoors or under the Berber tent. At 50, everyone sleeps at the château; at 120, it's the big party in the gardens, and the others stay near Cadillac-sur-Garonne or in Créon.

Which dates are still free?

The château welcomes weddings over a weekend, Friday to Monday, or midweek, Monday to Thursday. Tell us your date, we check with Château Sentout and reply in writing.

Can we have a secular ceremony on site?

Yes: under the arcades of the cloister garden, in the orchard, or on the lawn by the tall pine. For a blessing, the château also has its own chapel, with 19th-century stained glass. Your words, your officiant, your people around you.

Can we have our civil wedding in Tabanac?

In France, a civil wedding always takes place at a town hall, never at the château. Tabanac town hall can marry you if one of you, or one of your parents, lives there or has lived there for at least a month. Otherwise, the civil wedding happens in your own town, and the ceremony at the château.

Our guests are flying in. Is it easy for them?

Yes: from Mérignac airport as from central Bordeaux, you follow the ring road to exit 22A, then 17 km to the château. And 50 of your guests sleep on site, from Friday to Monday.

Where do we get ready?

At the château. One of you in the bridal suite, in the square tower above the courtyard, your people close by. The other in one of the houses around the courtyard, every room with its own bathroom.

Will our grandparents and the little ones be comfortable?

Yes. A step-free room has an adapted shower room, with direct access to the living room and the gardens. Every room is air-conditioned, the little ones have their nursery, and 60 cars park on site.

And if it rains?

Dinner moves into the reception room, with its stone walls and beams, which seats 100, and drinks go under the columned gallery. If you are more, the Berber tent welcomes up to 120 guests, and the party carries on in the dance hall.

Coming from abroad: how does it work?

Your contract is governed by French law, and also written in English.

Can we bring our own vendors?

Yes, and if you already have a vendor in mind, they're welcome. Your photos are included, with our photographers. If you already have yours, we welcome them into the team and adjust your price. For the table, the château imposes no caterer: yours is welcome, and it recommends its regulars.
