Domaine Berrua can host a wedding dinner for up to 190 guests, a company seminar with lodging for the whole team, or an outdoor cocktail reception for 250. The four-star estate lies on Rue Berrua in Bidart, on the Basque coast between Biarritz and Saint-Jean-de-Luz, a few steps from the beach, and it stays open all year.
Seminars and company events
For businesses, the reception hall doubles as a seminar room with a projector, a screen, a paperboard, a full sound system and high-speed Wi-Fi. Teams sleep on site in cottages and mobile homes, take breaks, lunches and dinners at the restaurant, and use the estate's sports grounds and pool area between sessions. Outdoor activities and sports are run with local partners. The estate can bring lodging, rooms, catering and activities together in one quote, with a single contact for the whole project.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold a lay ceremony on the pool terrace or on the village square, with a flower arch and a sound system for music, readings and speeches, and a marquee can be set up for shelter. The vin d'honneur can move between open-air terraces and covered areas, followed by dinner, dancing and a brunch the next day. One contact follows the wedding from planning to invoicing and coordinates partner DJs, bands, florists, decorators and photographers. Private individuals can also rent the hall on its own for birthdays, christenings and reunions.
