The best of the french capital
You have a solid wedding budget, but booking a huge 100 guest venue just does not always feel appropriate. A big party can feel emotionally heavy because of all the opinions that come with it. We curated a list of the best Paris wedding venues that are intimate and simple, so you can book them with peace of mind and without that lingering thought of “Did we go too far, what will people think”.
The
ritz
Paris
Choosing Ritz Paris for your elopement is a quiet escape from everyday life into French luxury. You step inside and the outside world simply fades away. They offer tiny ballrooms that are perfectly suited for a ceremony for two, and they truly understand how to work with elopements. It is not just a place to get married, but a place to breathe differently.
Who is it for? For couples with a venue budget of around €5,000 who do not have time to plan. Everything with Ritz Paris is very simple, they have a full events team that takes care of the entire service for you. It is ideal if you both work, are very busy, and want someone else to handle everything for you at the highest level. You want the feeling of magic, like you barely spent any time on it, yet received a high end, perfectly executed experience.

Aesthetic control
Chateau de Champlatreux
This castle may look grand at first, but in reality it has many spaces that feel very romantic for two, and not too big. When the interior is almost untouched, it becomes a true blank canvas. French castles have a naturally neutral style that you can work with and transform into anything. You decide where the ceremony happens, how each space is styled.
Who is it for? For couples with a venue budget of around €2,500 who dream of getting married in a real historic French chateau. Please note that this option requires your active involvement. With this one, you have to be present, you cannot just pay and forget (like most hotel venues). You will need to take part in the communication and handle part of the planning yourself, in English.
YOUR elopement day MIGHT INCLUDE:
Grand Vestibule
You can do your first look and also hold the ceremony right in the center, decorating the floor with flowers.
Gardens / Park
We recommend opening champagne with a view of the lush garden right in this spot.
Entry Stairs
The entry areas are perfect if you want to have an outdoor ceremony with a view of the chateau.
Stairs
The staircase can be used for bridal portraits and groom portraits.
Blue Room
This famous blue room is unique, there is nothing like it anywhere near Paris, it can be used both for the ceremony and for portraits.
Rooms and Halls

This hotel is budget friendly, but has a very small terrace. If you are planning to have your ceremony here, please request a room on the highest floor.
It is suitable only for the two of you, since the terrace is tiny. Even though the hotel is very budget friendly, the ceremony will look too simple without florals. This is one of those locations that truly needs floral arrangements, without them the terrace feels a bit bare.
