Getting married at Château de Beauregard in Jonquières
Château de Beauregard, a wedding estate in the heart of the Vaucluse
wedding videographer Chateau de Beauregard: filming a 17th-century château among vineyards, cypress trees and Mont Ventoux
Located on Route de Carpentras, in Jonquières in the Vaucluse, Château de Beauregard is one of those Provençal venues with a real presence on camera. The estate welcomes up to 200 guests and offers several very different spaces: the Cour d’Honneur, the Mont Ventoux Terrace, the Orangery, the Patio des Arômates, the Salle des Romains, the gardens, the pool, and 17 bedrooms for close family and friends. For the ceremony, the venue is especially well suited to an on-site symbolic ceremony; the civil wedding, however, is arranged at the town hall within the French legal framework. This 17th-century château, linked to Sébastien de Laurens and later to the Biliotti family, combines a majestic central building, two wings, towers and a strong Renaissance elegance. I love the contrast between noble architecture, plane-tree avenues, cypress trees, olive trees, vineyards and the Vaucluse countryside, where cicadas often take the place of silence. It is a venue made for refined weddings, but never cold ones: you can imagine a chic reception, an international weekend, or a more intimate celebration, with that natural Provençal softness that cannot be forced.
Why a wedding at Château de Beauregard works so well on film
For a wedding videographer Chateau de Beauregard, the appeal of the venue comes from the variety of its settings, but also from the way the day can breathe. The Mont Ventoux Terrace works beautifully for a ceremony or cocktail hour, with an open feeling over the landscape, while the Cour d’Honneur brings real cinematic strength to dinner between the two wings of the château. At the end of the day, the pale façades and tree-lined paths become much softer than at midday: I would keep the couple portraits for after the cocktail hour, when the light skims the walls, cypress trees and paths around the estate. The pool is perfect for a brunch or pool party the next day, especially if the wedding unfolds over two or three days. The only point to handle carefully here is not spreading guests too far apart: the estate offers many possibilities, so the flow between ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and party needs to feel natural. In summer, the heat can be intense, and the mistral can sometimes make the Terrace more exposed; a discreet microphone, shaded areas and an indoor option such as the Orangery or the Salle des Romains help avoid any surprises.
My discreet, cinematic approach to a wedding at Beauregard
My approach is not to turn your wedding into a film set, but to move gently with its rhythm. At Château de Beauregard, I would first look for transitions: preparations in the bedrooms, footsteps through the corridors, a hand resting on a banister, guests discovering the Cour d’Honneur, speeches echoing through the stone, then the party becoming more free. I work a lot with natural light, longer lenses to remain discreet, slow movements, the sound of voices, silences, and glances that pass quickly. A successful wedding film in a place like this should keep the charm of the château without taking attention away from the people. If you would like to go further, I can also create a wedding film with storytelling, weaving in your story, your voices, your memories and the full experience of the weekend. This is why I love Provence: it has a living texture, never perfectly polished. At Beauregard, between the vineyards, stone, trees and fast-changing light, there is everything needed to create a film that feels elegant, personal and not merely beautiful.
wedding videographer Chateau de Beauregard based in Provence: a real advantage when preparing for the venue
I am Meryll de Gordon, a wedding videographer based near Aix-en-Provence, and living here has a real impact on the way I film. I do not see Provence as a postcard: I know its contrasts, its harsh midday hours, its golden evenings, its roads between Avignon, Orange and the villages of the Vaucluse, and also that mix of refinement and simplicity that often moves international couples. Being a wedding videographer in Provence also means knowing when to slow down, when to let guests live the moment, when to move closer during a speech, and when to disappear a little. At a venue like Beauregard, my role is to anticipate: explore the spaces, understand where to place the key moments, speak with the wedding planner, think about sound during the ceremony, guest movement and the final edit. I have been creating cinematic wedding films since 2014, with a narrative and human approach. What I am looking for is not only a beautiful image of the château, but the exact feeling of your wedding in that place.
Advice for planning your wedding at Château de Beauregard
timing, light, accommodation and guest flow at Beauregard
For a wedding at Château de Beauregard, I would recommend thinking of the day as a real journey, not as a sequence of vendors to fit in. The 17 bedrooms make it possible to keep close family and friends on site, so preparations can begin calmly, without too many transfers. For the ceremony, avoid the most vertical hours of summer: late afternoon on the Mont Ventoux Terrace or near the Orangery will give you softer light and more relaxed guests. Cocktail hour works very well outdoors, but water points, shade and a backup plan in case of mistral are essential. For dinner, the Cour d’Honneur has enormous character; however, the acoustics of a stone courtyard require good sound equipment for speeches. The Salle des Romains can work as a more indoor alternative for dancing or as a safe evening option. The venue indicates a time limit of around 4 a.m., so it is better to build a real rise in energy rather than pushing every important moment until after midnight. Finally, for the video, keep 15 minutes alone at sunset: that is often when the film finally has room to breathe.

Frequently asked questions
If I have not yet filmed your exact wedding at Château de Beauregard, I see that as an advantage. When I arrive at a venue with fresh eyes, I pay closer attention to details, angles, textures and everything that can be missed through habit. I always prepare the filming in advance, but I keep that desire to discover, compose and film the venue with genuine artistic intention.
May, June, September and early October are often the most pleasant periods: the light remains beautiful, evenings are softer, and guests can truly enjoy the outdoor spaces. July and August bring a very Provençal atmosphere, but the schedule needs to be organised carefully to avoid ceremonies in full sun. As the estate is very open, the weather and wind should be anticipated with an elegant backup plan.
Yes, and it is one of the great strengths of the venue. With exclusive use of the estate, the bedrooms, the pool and the many different spaces, Château de Beauregard is perfectly suited to a welcome dinner, a full wedding day, then a brunch or pool party the next day. On film, this format tells far more than a single day: you see the connections, the reunions, the families and friends experiencing the venue together.
Yes, I regularly work with French and international couples, often alongside a wedding planner. I speak French and English, which makes communication easier before the wedding, during speeches, for possible interviews and for preparing the storytelling. At Château de Beauregard, this international dimension works very naturally: guests discover Provence, the vineyards, Avignon, Mont Ventoux, and the wedding becomes a true destination wedding experience.
Yes, I travel throughout Provence, the Vaucluse, the Luberon, the Alpilles, Aix-en-Provence, the French Riviera and beyond when the project calls for it. Being based in Provence allows me to better understand distances, light and local constraints. For a wedding in Jonquières, I can also plan a venue visit, speak with the planner and adapt the video timeline to the château’s exact spaces.
Château de Beauregard is located in Jonquières, in the Vaucluse, between Orange, Avignon and the wine villages of Provence. Avignon TGV is the most practical access point for many guests, while Marseille-Provence Airport remains the simplest option for international flights. Nice is further away, but it can still work for guests who wish to extend their stay on the French Riviera after the wedding.
Being recognised among international wedding videographers is a real honour, but I see it above all as a responsibility. Each film must remain sincere, precise and personal, far from ready-made formulas. These awards, given by wedding film associations and communities, encourage me to keep searching for a truer image, a more sensitive edit, and a more elegant way of telling each couple’s story, whether in Provence, on the French Riviera or elsewhere.
