01 · In a sentence

Domaine Les Crayères in Reims.

Domaine Les Crayères stands apart as Reims' only Michelin-starred hotel wedding venue, where a historic 19th-century château and world-class gastronomy form the foundation of celebrations.

The estate's chalk cellars—carved directly into the chalky soil that makes Champagne legendary—provide an atmospheric setting unavailable at competing Reims venues.

Here, your reception unfolds within a property that has hosted dignitaries and gastronomes for over a century, with on-site fine dining expertise ensuring every course reflects the region's heritage.

From the moment we pulled up, the service was impeccable: the bell team met the car with perfect timing, took our luggage, and made everything feel effortless. That level of warmth and precision never wavered for a second. We received a wonderful French welcome (and great Virtuoso perks, including Champagne on arrival). Our suite was beautiful and genuinely comfortable, with panoramic views in a historic, storybook setting. Dinner at the 2 Michelin star restaurant on property was unforgettable. And the location is ideal: a beautiful walk to Ruinart and Pommery, no driving required. It just doesn’t get better.
