Château Saint-Georges: A Timeless Wedding Venue Above the French Riviera

The first time I arrived at Château Saint-Georges, the air was filled with the scent of jasmine and citrus, the signature of Grasse. The château stands proudly above the town, surrounded by cypress trees and terraced gardens overlooking the Mediterranean. It’s one of those places where history and elegance blend so effortlessly that every frame of a wedding film feels like a scene from a classic movie.

I remember filming a couple as they walked through the grand hallway, sunlight spilling through the tall French windows. Their laughter echoed softly against the marble, simple, genuine moments that need no direction. That’s what makes filming at Château Saint-Georges so special: the space itself tells part of the story.

Why Château Saint-Georges is Made for Weddings

  • Elegant French architecture: Every archway, staircase, and balcony adds depth and drama to a film.

  • Mediterranean gardens: Perfect for outdoor ceremonies framed by olive trees and the Riviera light.

  • Provençal ambiance: With nearby Grasse and the Côte d’Azur, it combines charm and sophistication.

  • Privacy and intimacy: The château offers complete exclusivity, giving couples time to truly live in the moment.

Filming at Château Saint-Georges

As a wedding videographer, I always notice how light behaves here, soft, golden, constantly changing as the day unfolds. Morning light filters through the gardens, while sunset paints the façade in a warm glow. The ballroom, with its chandeliers and antique mirrors, creates an atmosphere of timeless romance that translates beautifully on camera.

Whether it’s a first look on the grand staircase or a dance under the open sky, Château Saint-Georges gives every couple a film that feels both cinematic and deeply personal.
