A Glamorous Fall Wedding at Château de Challain

Nestled in the heart of France’s enchanting Loire Valley, the stunning Château de Challain provided a magical backdrop for Elizabeth and Cory’s unforgettable wedding. The day was a perfect blend of timeless black-tie elegance, bold romance, and a touch of gothic allure. Beautifully orchestrated by CiCi Events, every detail of the celebration was thoughtfully designed to reflect the couple's unique vision. To embrace their desire for an intimate candlelit ceremony, the day’s flow was artfully reimagined. As the sun dipped behind the château, Elizabeth and Cory captured golden-hour portraits that glowed with warmth and elegance. This was followed by an exquisite candlelit dinner for fewer than 30 guests—a truly atmospheric setting with a breathtaking abundance of candles. At 9 PM, beneath a soft glow of candlelight, the couple exchanged vows in a church ceremony that seamlessly blended Christian and Jewish traditions. The night's celebrations continued, complete with a champagne tower, an unforgettable fireworks display, and a lively party that carried on into the early hours.
