How does an evening at the Château Saint-Hilaire unfold?
The layout of the estate dictates a running order in three stages, one you find in most successful parties in the countryside.
| Time | Space | Highlight |
|---|---|---|
| 7pm | 500 m² terrace | Welcome, drinks overlooking the vines, saxophonist |
| 8.30pm | 300 m² ballroom | Dinner, speeches from management, awards ceremony |
| 10.30pm | Ballroom | The DJ opens the dance floor |
| Bad weather fallback | 100 m² cocktail room | Welcome under cover in case of mistral or rain |
The 100 m² cocktail room is invaluable: it lets you serve drinks indoors when the weather does not play ball, without touching the ballroom that is already laid.
How to handle guest transport to Coudoux?
Around forty minutes from Marseille, transport becomes a budget line in its own right. For a party of 100 people or more, a chartered coach leaving from your offices solves three problems at once: punctuality, parking and the journey home after an evening with alcohol. Plan two return departures (around midnight and at the end of the evening) so that those who wish to can leave.
What entertainment on a wine estate?
- A guided tasting to open the evening, to be organised with the estate: a ready-made topic of conversation for guests who do not know each other.
- A master of ceremonies to keep things flowing between dinner, speeches and the party, especially when several people take the floor.
- A casino night or a quiz between dinner and the dance floor, for those who do not dance.
- A photographer at sunset on the terrace, for communication images you will reuse all year round.
What budget should you plan?
The estate offers its packages per person, with a minimum of around 100 guests in the proposals we have seen. For a complete evening in the region, market benchmarks range from €65 to €130 per person. For entertainment, where an agency charges around €1,100 for a party DJ and around €750 for a photo booth, our prices start at €299 for the DJ and €349 for the photo booth.
- A DJ and a saxophonist for drinks on the terrace.
- A photographer to cover the evening.
- Coordination of transport, the estate and suppliers.
