Every year, the bride and groom dreaming of a unique setting between elegance, nature and authenticity come up against the same observation: exceptional places are sold out well before the desired date.
At the Beaumetane, we often receive couples who are seduced by the place… but arrived a little late.
Here are the most common mistakes to avoid to ensure the wedding of your dreams in a place that lives up to your story.

Wait to have a specific date before visiting

Many couples think that they must first set a date before looking for their place.
In reality, it is often the opposite: castles and sought-after estates, like ours, open their reservations nearly two years in advance.
It is therefore better to come and discover several places and let the date adapt to your favorite.

Tip: plan your visit even if you don’t have a season or a weekend yet.

Thinking that a high-end place will necessarily be available

Estates of character, like La Beaumetane, host only one wedding a day—to ensure an exclusive and tailor-made experience.
This means that every booked weekend in high season blocks the venue entirely.
Result: the most requested months (May, June, September) leave first.

Tip: for 2027, remember to book at the latest in spring 2026.

Neglect the importance of on-site accommodation

A high-end wedding is not limited to the reception.
The bride and groom today are looking for a complete experience, including accommodation and comfort for their loved ones.
In the Beaumetane, it’s a real asset: more than 45 beds spread across our 4 ★ hotel in the heart of the park.
Many couples discover too late that the outdoor accommodations are already full or far away an easily avoidable stress.

Forgetting the human factor

A place is above all a team.
The best providers are very solicited, caterers, photographers, florists, DJs.
By booking late, you risk not being able to collaborate with those who share your vision.
Our advice: once the place has been booked, quickly set up your ‘dream team’ with trusted providers (we have a carefully selected list for you).

To say that everything can be organized “quickly done”

Some marriages are improvised, yes but not when one seeks excellence and serenity.
Anticipating is offering each detail the time to be thought out, tested, adjusted.
And above all, it is to enjoy the pleasure of preparations without the slightest precipitation.

Elegance always comes from preparation.

Conclusion: to anticipate is to offer oneself tranquility

Booking your high-end wedding venue on time is not only a question of availability.
It is a choice of appeasement, quality and experience.
At La Beaumetane, we accompany each couple from the first visit to the big day because a well-prepared wedding is a fully lived one.
