At Château Saint Georges, we believe that every wedding should be as unique and extraordinary as the couple and our beautiful luxury weddings prove just that. Each year we see our couples tying the knot, each bringing their own unique wedding ideas to the Chateau, and it’s one of our favourite parts! With our rich heritage and breathtaking surroundings, our Chateau offers a canvas to tell your personal love story. From personalised welcome bags that greet your guests upon arrival to interactive activities that entertain and engage, we are here to help you create memories that will last a lifetime. Here are just some of our wedding ideas that will make your destination wedding at Chateau Saint Georges an unforgettable celebration,
Have Custom Cocktails
Create a selection of custom cocktails that reflect the flavours and spirit of your wedding destination or blend your two favourite cocktails to make a new one in celebration of your love! Name the cocktails after significant locations or events in your relationship and provide recipe cards as wedding favours so guests can recreate them at home and take back a piece of your celebration with them. Remember to include both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options to cater to all your guests too!
Do A Photo Dash
Want to make sure you have a picture with all your guests? A photo dash is the perfect way to make this happen. It’s a fun and interactive way to get all your guests involved. The perfect opportunity to do this is when everyone is seated to eat. Get all your guests to have their camera or phone ready and go! It’s the perfect way to create some fun memories of your celebration! Adding some music is even better too!

Personalised Welcome Bags
What better way than to greet your guests with personalised wedding bags upon their arrival. Include local delicacies and souvenirs, a map of the area, an itinerary, sunscreen, cooling care packs and a handwritten thank-you note. Customise the bags with your wedding logo or a symbol that represents your destination.
Add Some Culture
Adding cultural elements to your wedding day makes it even more special and celebrates the country you’re in too! Include a traditional dance performance, local music, or cultural rituals during the ceremony. Offer a menu featuring local delicacies and beverages to give guests an authentic taste of the region.

Make It More Than A One-Day Celebration
Destination weddings are perfect for extended celebrations as everyone is in one place! Most of our weddings extend across three days and they’re perfect for having multiple celebrations. Plan a welcome party, rehearsal dinner, post-wedding brunch, pool party and even group activities such as local tours or wine-tasting events. This allows guests to fully experience the destination and spend more quality time together.

Keep your guests entertained with interactive activities throughout the wedding celebrations. Set up games, photo booths, local cultural visits, relaxing spa afternoons or a local cooking class to engage guests and create lasting memories.
Do A Unique Bouquet Toss
Put a twist on the traditional bouquet toss to make it more memorable. One of our recent brides threw hers from our panoramic balcony with her guests down below. It created a unique event and got some amazing photography too.
