May at Château Gassies, a look back at a month of weddings

May is behind us, and it was a beautiful one. Every month we have the privilege of welcoming couples with entirely different visions, and May was no exception. A rehearsal dinner in the heart of the central garden, a poolside pizza welcome dinner, an intimate wedding for 25, and a traditional Indian ceremony, here is a glimpse into some of the moments that made this month so memorable at Château Gassies.

A rehearsal dinner in the heart of the central garden

For their rehearsal dinner, one couple chose to gather their guests at the heart of the estate. Set against the château and its gardens, it was a first evening that set the tone perfectly, and left everyone hoping the celebrations would never end.

The central garden is one of the most beloved spaces at Château Gassies for outdoor dining. Framed by the château and its lush surroundings, it offers a naturally elegant setting that lends itself equally well to large gatherings and intimate evenings.

Welcome dinner, pizza night by the pool

For their welcome dinner, one couple opted for a poolside evening built around a pizza theme — festive, generous, and full of energy. The kind of gathering where the atmosphere is warm from the very first moment, and guests leave already looking forward to the day ahead.

A welcome dinner at Château Gassies is an opportunity to shape your guests' experience from the moment they arrive. The pool and its surroundings offer a convivial and luminous setting, perfect for a first evening that breaks with tradition.

An intimate wedding, 25 guests, every detail in full splendour

Intimate weddings are attracting more and more couples. Many are choosing to celebrate with a guest list under 50, and at 25, this wedding was a perfect example of what that choice allows. Different table configurations, a more personal use of the spaces, and a completely new way of discovering the château.

Choosing an intimate wedding at Château Gassies means opting for a different kind of experience, more personal, more focused, without sacrificing any of the elegance or attention to detail. The château reveals itself differently, and it is often a wonderful surprise.
