Start with a visit, even from a distance
Every château has its own layout: a park, an orangery, a courtyard, a reception hall. We work with you and with the venue to know where each moment will take place, and where to set up each bar station. Photos and a floor plan are often enough to prepare the essentials.
Two spaces, two bars
The vin d’honneur often takes place in the park or on a terrace, the evening in another room. We plan one bar for each space, or the same bar moved between the two moments, depending on the distance and the schedule.
The estate’s constraints
Vehicle access, set-up times, areas reserved for the caterer, the venue’s own rules: every estate has its own. We take them into account from the start and prepare the set-up with you and with the venue.
Furniture
The bar and bar equipment are brought by us. Furniture is provided as needed, or your venue’s own can be used after a technical check.
Planning for the weather
An outdoor vin d’honneur needs a fallback option. We plan it with the venue: a covered area, another terrace, a nearby room.
