I have curated a selection of the best places for lovebirds to hold their wedding, ensuring an unforgettable moment in their lives. With my support, these Paris wedding venues will offer all the services needed for a perfect celebration. Check them out:

1. Maison de l’Amérique Latine

First, to make this special day idyllic, the Maison de l’Amérique Latine offers its magnificent 18th-century lounges, which open onto French gardens, and a meal that combines aesthetics and flavors. Furthermore, the enchanting salons of the Maison de l’Amérique Latine will make your wedding the unforgettable moment you’ve been dreaming of. Mainly, the parquet floors, the light from the chandeliers reflected in mirrors with golden ornaments, the precious woodwork, and the draperies opening onto the beautiful French gardens give this place a magical dimension.

In this exquisite setting, which will be yours for the duration of your event, you will be delighted to offer your guests harmonious cuisine with subtle combinations of flavors. Certainly, their kitchen team will craft your menu, including the eight items served at the cocktail reception and the seated dinner menu featuring a starter, main course, cheese, and dessert buffet.

Weddings are exclusive on weekends, from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m.. Their seating capacity is 220 people for a sit-down dinner and 800 for a cocktail event.

2. Salons des Arts et Métiers

Being invited to a reception in a Parisian mansion is a privilege. This luxury wedding venue has embodied the charm of private mansions from the end of the 19th century since 1925. In particular, your guests will be captivated by the House’s soul, the elegance of the lounges, the breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower, and the quality of the dinner.

For your receptions, do you prefer a view of the Eiffel Tower or the garden? Whether it’s a cocktail, lunch, or private dinner, the Salons of the Hôtel des Arts & Métiers adapt to your desires.

In fine weather, your cocktail reception will take place in the garden. Dinner and dancing will then be held in the first-floor lounges with a view of the Eiffel Tower. The House is entirely privatized for events with a minimum of 80 guests.

3. Les Salons du Prè Catelan

In a green setting in the heart of the Bois de Boulogne and just five minutes from the Champs-Élysées, Le Pré Catelan takes shape as an elegant Napoleon III pavilion. Opened in 1856, Le Pré Catelan enjoyed immense success: the bucolic site, the quality of the orchestras, and the refinement of the festivals made it one of the most popular places in the capital.

With 12 reception rooms bathed in light, along with terraces and gardens, there is space to hold events for up to 2,000 people, all of whom will receive special hospitality. In addition, the creative cuisine of Guy Krenzer, “Meilleur Ouvrier de France”, as well as the wines selected bytheir team are a promise of refined, exclusive gastronomy.

4. Yachts de Paris

How about tying the knot while sailing down the Seine River? Above all, to ensure your experience surpasses expectations, Yachts de Paris offers a selection of yachts and salons along the banks of the Seine, each with its own unique atmosphere.

Choose from six types of yachts: Cachemire, Acajou, Victoria, Excellence, Mirage, and Paquebot, accommodating anywhere from 18 to 800 people. Also, the impeccable services and opulent yachting culture they provide are available to elevate grand occasions like weddings. In brief, these yachts promise to elevate your event, creating unforgettable moments on the Seine.

5. Rodin Museum

The Rodin Museum stands out as one of the most prestigious wedding venues in Paris. Due to its status as a museum open to the general public, access to the venue is restricted before 6:30 pm. Consequently, many weddings hosted at the Rodin Museum are scheduled for Mondays, the only day of the week when the museum is closed to the public.

Whether it’s an intimate wedding or a lavish celebration with hundreds of guests, the Musée Rodin provides the perfect backdrop for a luxury event in Paris. Similarly to other museum wedding venues, the Musée Rodin places great emphasis on security procedures to safeguard the estate, its masterpieces, and historical gardens.

6. Hôtel Marois

Fans of historical novels will be especially delighted to learn that Hotel le Marois stands on the site of the ancient townhouse of Marie Duplessis, the courtesan who inspired Alexandre Dumas fils to write his famous novel, “The Lady of the Camellias.”

Firstly, its opulent décor, featuring gilded moldings, marble fireplaces, and romantic mythological paintings on the ceiling, provides the perfect backdrop for a lavish destination wedding. The ideal guest count ranges between 70 and 80 people, ensuring comfortable seating in the same ballroom. While Hotel le Marois can accommodate larger groups, it may require guests to be placed in different interconnecting rooms.

7. The Ritz

Steeped in the Belle Époque era, the Ritz Paris was born in 1898, nestled within a mansion on Place Vendôme, an area synonymous with the essence of Parisian chic.

For exceptional events in the heart of the City of Lights, the Ritz Paris is your go-to destination. With nine salons to choose from, accommodating anywhere from ten to five hundred guests, you can tailor your event to match your personal style.

Among these salons, Salon d’Été stands out as the brightest space, inspiring a sense of summery optimism regardless of the mood outside. On sunny days, the salon opens onto the terrace and the landscaped Grand Jardin beyond. Still, even in inclement weather, the large windows and glass atrium bring the outside in, connecting guests with nature.

8. Plaza Athénée

Located near the iconic Eiffel Tower, the Plaza Athénée hotel offers an exquisite setting for your celebration.

Without a doubt, what sets this hotel apart as one of my top wedding venues in Paris are its balconies. With spacious balconies boasting views of the Eiffel Tower, Plaza Athénée provides the perfect romantic backdrop for your photos.

For your ceremony, Plaza Athénée offers elegant white salons adorned with illustrious chandeliers, ideal for larger weddings. Particularly, with five elegant function suites covering 400 square meters, your guests will be captivated by the stunning surroundings. In addition to that, the Salon Haute Couture, the largest room, can accommodate 200 guests for a standing cocktail reception or 110 guests seated for dinner. Conveniently, the hotel is just a five-minute walk from Alma-Marceau and a seven-minute walk from the Champs-Élysées.

Nestled in the heart of the city, dating back to the 18th century, the Hôtel de Crillon has recently undergone a magnificent renovation, restoring it to its former glory.

In particular, its majestic decorations, inspired by the 18th century, and tailor-made service epitomize the French art of living. Furthermore, it’s truly a dream location for any event.
