If you’re dreaming of a romantic château wedding in Belgium, Château de la Hulpe might just be the perfect location. Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Solvay Domain, this elegant estate combines French grandeur with natural serenity. It is a true hidden gem for couples looking to marry in style.
As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of documenting several celebrations at this breathtaking venue. Each wedding feels like stepping into a real-life fairytale.
Why Choose Château de la Hulpe for Your Wedding
Château de la Hulpe is located just 20 minutes from Brussels. Yet it feels completely secluded thanks to its lush, forested surroundings. The château itself dates back to the 19th century and is known for its French-style architecture, manicured gardens, and panoramic views. So it is ideal for both intimate elopements and grand celebrations.
Key highlights of the venue:
- Historic architecture and romantic château interiors
- Surrounded by 220 hectares of forest and landscaped gardens
- Spectacular photo opportunities, including drone-worthy aerial views
- Versatile spaces for ceremonies, receptions, and portraits
Getting Ready at the Château
For couples who want to spend their full wedding day on-site, Château de la Hulpe offers multiple options for getting ready. For the bride, there are two beautiful rooms upstairs that provides beautiful natural light, elegant décor, and peaceful surroundings. The perfect setting for a calm, emotional start to the day. The groom can get ready in one of the beautiful rooms downstairs within the château.
These thoughtfully designed spaces also offer an ideal backdrop for candid, emotional getting-ready moments.
Ceremony & Reception Options
Most couples choose to hold their ceremony outdoors, with the château as a majestic backdrop and guests seated on the surrounding lawn. The expansive grounds offer plenty of space for large gatherings without ever feeling crowded.
Dinner Reception
On warm evenings, dinner can be hosted outdoors under the stars, a magical experience. However, Belgium’s weather can be unpredictable, but the chateau offers a large room indoors as a beautiful back up.
Unforgettable Photos at Château de la Hulpe
This venue is a dream for photographers. From its symmetrical architecture to forested walking paths and open skies, every corner offers a new scene. I especially love incorporating drone photography here to fully capture the scale and beauty of the estate. The view from above reveals just how perfectly the château sits within its surrounding landscape, something truly unique among Belgian venues.
