About Ayguebelle Castle
Guests arrive at the gates of a 13th-century castle in Provence, driving through tree-lined approaches that shift the pace before they step into a stone courtyard surrounded by centuries of history.
From the moment they enter, they experience both the grandeur of vaulted ceilings and the intimacy of candlelit rooms, moving between restored medieval spaces and manicured gardens that anchor the celebration to the landscape.
At Ayguebelle, arrival itself becomes the first memory, guests don't just attend a wedding, they enter a place that has hosted gatherings for over 800 years.

As a wedding vendor specializing in giant wooden game rentals, I had the pleasure of working at Château d’Ayguebelle, and the grounds are simply magnificent.
