Religious ceremony at the cathedral with Chagall stained glass, photos at Centre Pompidou-Metz, privatized reception at the château. A wedding that tells your story.
Couples from Metz and Moselle, Château de Morey awaits you 30 minutes away to transform your wedding into a moment of grace. This 16th-century estate, built on the ruins of a Templar convent, offers what Metz reception halls cannot match: vaulted cellars for your reception drinks, a main hall seating 60 to 65 guests, a one-hectare park with century-old trees for your secular ceremony. Metz's Saint-Etienne Cathedral, with its Marc Chagall stained glass windows, lends itself perfectly to a morning religious ceremony. Your guests then travel to the château for cocktails in the park, while photographers capture the golden light on the Renaissance facade. Thirty years of wedding organization experience and a network of trusted Moselle vendors guarantee a smooth and serene day.
