Welcome to Manoir de Beaulieu 

An intimate & down-to-earth wedding venue, nestled on the French Charente & Dordogne border.

Most French wedding venues give you a wedding weekend – we give you a wedding stay – like nothing else.

At Manoir de Beaulieu, we don’t believe your wedding should be a 24-hour blur. We believe in slow mornings by the pool, sun-drenched afternoons in the courtyard, and plenty of dancing in the covered barn.

We’re Lauren and James, and we live and breathe this place.

When you book with us, you aren’t just getting a venue, you’re getting a duo who genuinely care about your day.

We’re easy-going, we’re on-site, and we’ve got your wedding under control.

What do our weddings cost?

We know budget is a big part of wedding planning, that’s why we’ve created our easy cost calculator to help you see exactly how much a 4-day wedding stay with us will cost – no hidden fees, no surprises.

Introducing O&E's Kitchen

We don’t believe in stiff, formal wedding food – where guests sit in silence & feel hungry after. We believe in sharing. It’s laid-back, it’s wholesome, and it’s undeniably social.

Here’s what some of our previous guests thought about their wedding stay…

Absolutely beautiful venue! The food was incredible – genuinely some of the best I’ve ever had at a wedding. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding venue in France.

Could not recommend highly enough. My wife and I travelled over from the UK for our wedding celebrations and could not have asked for a better experience. Lauren and James were amazing throughout, from the first introductory call, to the support with sourcing vendors, taxis , having a list of local accommodation for all our guests, and any other requests we made. Nothing was too much trouble, and it made organising our wedding a really enjoyable process. James's food was absolutely delicious, from the freshly made pizzas, to the wedding meal, and the day after with our bbq by the pool. Everyone complimented the food and there was plenty to ensure no one went hungry with lots of canapés on the wedding day too. They catered for multiple different dietary requirements and it made me feel very comfortable despite my awkward Dairy & Gluten Free diet. Our photographer Laura also commented on how incredibly well looked after she was, and every single guest had a wonderful time. The venue itself is stunning, and the pictures still do no do it justice. A classic french rustic Manoir, set in a quiet town, with views all around. The house was well equipped, clean, and had all the amenities you need. The pool was pristine, the barn and bar were perfect for the party, and the whole place was really nicely laid out. It is hard to write a concise review as there were just so many lovely touches throughout the weekend. All of the staff were either relations to James and Lauren, or local friends who helped with the bar, the catering, serving the drinks and the canapés, and all of whom were absolutely delighted to be there, always smiling, and helpful, and it just made the experience extra special. A massive thank you to George, Leanne, Clement, Evelyn, Susan, Andy, Malcolm and Diane for this who worked quietly and tirelessly to make everything seamless! Thank you SO much!! Reece & Melissa

The best weekend, at the best venue, with the best team! We honestly could not recommend Lauren & James and the whole team at Manoir de Beaulieu more. Do not hesitate to book your wedding here, we’re already all talking about being able to go back! The venue itself is absolutely stunning and so well laid out, it’s the perfect back drop for the entire weekend, and Lauren & James have thought of everything you’ll need for the whole wedding and stay. There aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful everything was, the setting, atmosphere, the FOOD (absolutely unreal) and the fun everyone had. Biggest thank you to the whole team, forever grateful! Annabel & Wayne xxx

We had our wedding at Manior De Beaulieu in September and the one word I can describe about the whole experience was perfect. Lauren, James and the whole team were amazing from when we first booked the wedding last year to the final day. They are such great people and were always there to help. The food from James was absolutely outstanding too. The venue was beautiful and all of our guests had a great weekend. Our families stayed in the house and there are plenty of options for guests to stay very nearby. The pictures don’t do it justice for how lovely Manior Beaulieu is. It was the perfect weekend we could have asked for. If you’re thinking about visiting Manoir Beaulieu for a short stay or even your wedding, you certainly won’t regret it.

My daughters wedding weekend at Manoir de Beaulieu was nothing short of a fairytale. If you are looking for an intimate, effortlessly beautiful venue in the French countryside, look no further. The Food: From the welcome pizzas by the pool to the spectacular sharing-style wedding feast, the food was exceptional and they accommodated complex dietary needs flawlessly. The Venue: The property is breathtaking. The main house is very French, rustic and well equipped, the event spaces (like the rustic barn and courtyard) are stunning, and the layout was perfect for relaxing and partying. We all made good use of the pool to get over our hangovers the day after the wedding in the perfect sun trap garden to the rear of the property. A massive thank you to our hosts Lauren, James and their fantastic team, who looked after us through our stay, making sure that our daughters dream wedding ran smoothly without a hitch.

I recently stayed at Manoir Beaulieu for my daughters wedding. We stayed 4 days and Lauren and James went above and beyond. We had two babies in our wedding party and were incredibly flexible with us. The venue is stunning if you are wanting a rustic and chilled wedding. Its in beautiful French countryside The food was delicious throughout our stay. We just loved the accommodation. I cannot recommend Manoir Beaulieu enough for a wedding. Utter bliss....we could easily have stayed well beyond our time.

We are so pleased that we chose Manoir de Beaulieu as our venue for our wedding in June! We found MB online and travelled out to view it, and it ended up being the only venue we viewed. Lauren and James were immediately so warm and welcoming, and we knew that it would be the perfect place for a relaxed, intimate wedding with family. It is a stunning setting and Lauren & James have poured so much into thoughtfully renovating it over the years, and even since we first viewed it - brand new bathrooms were a lovely surprise on arrival! MB allows you to be together with family & friends over the few days/week either side of the wedding day, which makes it even more special. The food was exceptional throughout and we have had so many comments from friends and family in the time since. The raspberry & olive oil sorbet from our wedding feast was a real highlight, but also having breakfast & lunch delivered to us on the day was a really lovely touch - I would definitely recommend opting for this, as it made the getting ready process so much less stressful! Having freshly made pizzas prepared in front of us the night before made for a lovely welcome meal with family, and the BBQ the next day was fantastic - definitely opt for the smoked Caribbean mojo pork! There are so many options to choose from across the few days, with really delicious vegetarian/vegan choices as well. The most impressive thing is how well Lauren & James accommodate any and all dietary requirements - we had a couple of quite specific ones and nothing was too much trouble. They are really passionate about making sure everyone can have the same experience. The whole MB team are equally lovely and, again, nothing is too much trouble - you can tell that everyone there just genuinely wants you all to have the most amazing time and everything feels really seamless. The main bar in the barn works brilliantly, as does the smaller bar that is set up around the pool for afternoon drinks. There is so much space to be able to store and serve wedding wine, chosen beer kegs etc., and the guys do all the prep with ice, garnishes etc. for you ahead of time. Without doubt, the best thing about MB is Lauren & James. They are unbelievably well-organised and have thought about absolutely everything, but are also able to keep you completely relaxed - from the moment we met them, they put us at ease about planning a wedding overseas. They have worked so hard to collate an ever-expanding list of amazing suppliers, with multiple options for everything you will ever need. We even had a supplier drop out due to a sudden change in circumstances, but Lauren & James, along with our florist, Rebecca (La Vie en Fleur, who we would also recommend!), swept in to supply all of our table dressing instead - they have a huge selection of props and dressings, so you can customise it to exactly what you would like. If you are looking to stay and/or have your wedding in France, we cannot recommend MB enough. It is a real family affair - Lauren & James are lovely, genuine people, with parents and siblings joining them throughout the Summer to help out. It all comes with such a personal touch, and I know that we could never have had the celebration we had if it had been elsewhere, and been without Lauren & James and the MB team. The added bonus is that you can go back to stay and celebrate anniversaries etc. with family again!

Truly not enough words to describe how amazing MB is!!!! They made our stay and special day so unforgettable. From the start their attention to detail and care did not go unnoticed. Lauren, James, and the whole team are such lovely people and put so much care and thought into every detail. We had some tricky weather to deal with and Lauren was amazing jumping in with options from the start and in the end we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding! The food was so delicious and our guests could not stop talking about it! We highly recommend MB to anyone looking for a dreamy French countryside wedding!

An absolutely magical wedding venue ❤️ We honestly cannot put into words how incredible our experience at Manoir Beaulieu was. The setting is simply breathtaking. The house is beautiful, full of character and charm, and the whole place has such a unique and wonderful atmosphere. It feels completely different from any other wedding venue we visited. It intimate, relaxed, beautiful and incredibly special. Our wedding day itself was absolutely perfect. Everything was so wonderfully well organised, yet it never felt overly formal or stressful. I genuinely wasn’t nervous at all, which I never imagined would be possible on my wedding day! Every single second felt magical, and we were able to completely relax and enjoy every moment with the people we love. Lauren and James are honestly two of the loveliest people you could hope to have looking after you. They are so friendly, warm and down to earth, and they are always there when you need them without ever making you feel like you’re being looked after by a ‘venue’. They genuinely care, and that makes such a difference. All of our guests had the most incredible time. Everyone commented on how beautiful the venue was, how much fun they had and what a special atmosphere the whole place had. It really felt like we had created our own little world for the week, and we will treasure those memories forever. Manoir Beaulieu isn’t just a wedding venue, it is a truly unique and wonderful place where the most amazing memories are made. We feel incredibly lucky that we found it and that we were able to celebrate our wedding there. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Lauren and James, for giving us the most magical wedding and for making the whole experience so completely unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend Manoir Beaulieu highly enough. ❤️

Thank you! Thank you for the most wonderful wedding weekend. The Manoir is the most beautiful setting with it's rustic charm and stunning views. It surpassed our expectations. From our arrival, Lauren & James could not have been more helpful & welcoming to us and our family. The whole team were exceptional on the wedding day & received an unprompted ovation from all our guests. The food was STAND-OUT across the wedding, our guests are still talking about it. We are so glad we stayed for a week and had time to really enjoy this beautiful place.

How do our wedding stays work?

 Here is the rhythm of a typical wedding weekend at Manoir de Beaulieu.

 

 Day 1: Settle in & eat (a lot of) pizza
Arrive with your nearest and dearest 12 guests. Drop the bags, pop a bottle of local Rosé, and jump in the pool. Before enjoying unlimited pizzas by the pool, cooked by our on-site team: O&E’s Kitchen in the wood-fired oven by the pool.

Day 2: A day for you both
First thing, we’ll walk the Manoir de Beaulieu grounds with you both, and ensure everything has been ticked off for the big day. Giving you the afternoon to relax, sit by the pool or enjoy the local area. Book dinner for a few of your wedding party in our local village restaurant (an 8-minute walk from us) or host canapés there for all your 70 guests! 

 

 Day 3: The main event
A ceremony in the shade, followed by a long, lazy Vin d’Honneur by the pool. Then, move to the courtyard for a 4-course feast by O&E’s Kitchen and finish with some high-energy dancing in the barn. At midnight, your guests can depart before arriving back for the final day

Day 4: The recovery BBQ
The best part. Get all your guests back for a lazy BBQ around the Manoir de Beaulieu pool, the stories are being told, and James and the O&E’s kitchen team are at the BBQ. One last long lunch before the sun sets on the best weekend of your life.
