Wedding Venue near you Thionville
Thionville is the second city of Moselle, a gateway to Luxembourg just a few kilometres to the north. The Tour aux Puces, an 11th-century medieval keep, testifies to the city's fortified past. Cross-border workers living in Thionville and working in Luxembourg represent a significant share of the active population. Thionville reception venues operate on classic banquet formats, often for 100 guests or more. Chateau de Morey offers a different format: an entire estate for private hire for 65 guests maximum, 55 minutes via the A31. The one-hectare park hosts your secular ceremony in a setting that Thionville's urban venues do not offer. On-site accommodation avoids the late-night drive north: five guest rooms host your closest family and friends, and the next-day brunch extends the weekend. Each space has its function: main hall for dining, children's room for 15 to 20 young guests, dance hall with original fresco, vaulted cellars for the cocktail reception, equipped catering kitchen.
