The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild is a venue like no other and its gardens and panoramic views offer several stunning settings for exchanging rings. It’s likely to be one of the most splendid ceremonies that any of your guests have ever seen anywhere in the world. The most popular choice for the ceremony is on a purpose-built stage on the ornamental pond in front of the fountains. The flowers, the music, the lighting all combine to create the most magnificent backdrop for those wedding vows. For smaller groups of up to 80 guests, the wedding ceremony can be held at sunset on the balcony overlooking Villefranche. Another beautiful option is in the gardens next to the tearoom (Jardins des Sevres) or on the upper terrace overlooking the bay of Villefranche. The tea room or the indoor patio are both good back-up options in case of rain. Adding live music really does make a difference. A harpist, a string ensemble or an opera singer is a beautiful way to accompany the bride as she makes one of the most memorable walks of her life.

What better setting to sip champagne and mingle with guests? You’ll be surrounded by the most beautiful gardens with views of the villa, the love temple and the sea. Laidback upbeat background music will remind you that in summertime, the living really is easy. Bars and live cooking stations will be set up strategically around the gardens. The fountains offer a spectacular backdrop to the setting. They’ll enhance the view but then, to accompany a special moment, they’ll surprise guests with the most magnificent show as the water jets and lights are carefully choreographed to your choice of music. Why not explore the divine tastes of the region in a fun interactive way with a wine casino? An English-speaking sommelier will talk about the different qualities of some of the world’s finest wines, then challenge your guests to bet on what they taste, often with quite surprising results!

As the sun goes down, the venue takes on a different kind of magic under the stars. The splendour of the villa will be enchanted by the most beautiful flowers with key features of the venue illuminated by scintillating lighting. The flowers will define a fine dining experience with lush low centrepieces or beautiful expressions of tall elegance with gold and silver candelabras. The pond and the gardens will flicker with beautiful candles and lanterns. Our signature sound set-up is designed to make the music excite you and the speeches to resonate with you. The music will only add to the overall experience, blending into the background without interfering with the conversation. Between courses, we can let the entertainment take centre stage with carefully chosen musical to provide the soundtrack to the good life, or visual attractions that will reflect your personality and the type of experience you want to create. For live music outside, we recommend a pianist with a grand piano, a trio of musicians who can adapt to different moods or one of our brilliant acoustic roaming bands who set the scene perfectly before taking requests and building up a party atmosphere. For visual shows, please browse through our showcase to be inspired by our romantic acrobatic duos, an ice ballet show, a speed painter or cirque de soleil style fantasy circus acts. Take a moment to breathe in the magnificence of the venues. It’s important not to rush the experience. It is truly one of the most amazing settings in the world for weddings and private celebrations.

Now’s when the excitement bubbles over and the celebrations are taken to another dimension. This is the time for euphoric partying, and, no doubt, a little drinking. Inside, the venue is transformed into a contemporary nightclub with cutting-edge animated lighting and added starlight effects. The configuration of the setting is vitally important, as we seek to create the best possible ambience by encouraging the maximum number of guests to stay inside. For this we recommend lounge furniture around the dance area, bars strategically placed inside and the smoothest possible transition. For live music, we are proud to represent the freshest and most dynamic bands on the international party scene who grace events worldwide with their elegance, sophistication and supreme talent. Our DJ will keep the dance floor packed all night with a refreshing mix of contemporary dance, special requests and instantly recognisable party anthems.
