My Riviera Wedding

Located at only 20 minutes from Nice airport towards Monaco in the hills above Villefranche sur Mer, the Domaine du Mont Leuze is a truly spectacular wedding venue boasting one of the most impressive views on the French Riviera. The Domaine du Mont Leuze is owned by the now Mayor of Eze, a well to do businessman, and is situated in 13 hectares of land in a national park area. The domain is comprised of 20 villas ranging from 1 to 5 bedrooms in size accommodating a total of approximately 180 guests, 2 swimming pools, a main building referred to as the Chateau with 2 interior event spaces (one upstairs and one down stairs) as well as 3 terraces and luscious gardens providing ample spaces suitable for cocktail & canapé receptions, wedding ceremonies, seated dinners and dance parties. The venue is well adapted to large groups with parking for up approximately 200 to 250 cars. The Domaine du Mont Leuze also has a helipad for those who wish to arrive in style.

The large 550m² main terrace haply named the ‘Toit du Monde’ or ‘Roof of the World’ offers panoramic sea views looking over the exclusive Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsular and can accommodate up to a maximum of 400 people in seated dinner and 600 people in standing cocktail formation. A marquee fits comfortably on the main terrace which, out of season, would provide a perfect solution to stay warm and protected against the elements. The Terrazzita is a secondary terrace which is often used for the pre-diner drink at a wedding reception before a seated dinner on the Toit du Monde terrace and has a capacity of 100 people standing or 50 people seated. The Vista terrace, a smaller terrace with a capacity of 80 people standing, is hidden slightly from view amongst the trees and is an ideal place for a wedding ceremony underneath a pergola with chiffon draping. The area around the main swimming pool and the beautiful gardens with romantic fountain both can fit 100 people comfortably standing and are ideal for pre-dinner drinks.

Exclusive use of the areas detailed above depends on the number of guests you wish to participate in your wedding celebrations and the season (high season or low season). The fee can range from between 6300 Euros HT and 15, 000 Euros HT (excluding French VAT) taking the foresaid factors into consideration. The Domaine du Mont Leuze has its own catering service offering competitively priced menus from 51 Euros HT (excluding French VAT) per person including 3 courses and wine and 75 Euros HT (excluding French VAT)  per person including 4 courses, wine, mineral water, coffee and wedding cake. The venue does not object to outside catering whatsoever but privilege Lenotre and Hediard both of whom I have reviewed in the wedding caterer section of my website.

The sales manager at the Domaine du Mont Leuze, Véronique Weber, tends to put a company called AAVA Communication forward to couples who would like to work with a wedding planner to prepare their special day, however if you prefer to work with another company it should not be a problem provided a complete site visit is carried out by the wedding planner in person.
