La Ferme de la Ronce in La Houssaye-en-Brie hosts weddings, birthdays, baptisms and other receptions for up to 130 guests in a 150 m² hall. The farm is privatized for each event from Friday to Sunday, has a lodge with five bedrooms for 16 to 20 guests, and lets the hosts choose their own caterer, DJ and photographer. It is 45 minutes from Paris, in the Brie countryside in Seine-et-Marne.
Seminars and company events
The home page lists seminars among the events the farm hosts, and the navigation has a page for professionals. The official text we could read gives no separate corporate offer, room plan or equipment list. The hall and the lodge give a company a base for a day or a weekend with an overnight stay, but ask the owners which equipment and which format they provide for a business group.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the main use. The farm is privatized from Friday to Sunday, with access to every space and no imposed end time for the party, as long as the lodge guests and the neighbourhood are respected. A secular ceremony can be held outdoors, in the garden with a shaded corner and a floral arch, or under the covered patio if the weather turns. A 40 m² bridal suite has a jacuzzi and a view of the countryside. A separate 50 m² annex room can be arranged for children, and the garden is fenced.
Tables and standard chairs are included. Premium chairs and extra items are offered as options.
Rooms and capacities
The main hall measures 150 m² and is described as suited to a convivial party for up to 130 guests. A covered patio gives shelter for the reception when the weather is poor, and a paved courtyard and lawns serve for cocktails. The grounds include meadows and a shaded corner. The farm has a closed car park.
Accommodation
A lodge on site has five bedrooms and sleeps 16 to 20 people. It has a kitchen and a fenced garden. The wedding page gives the number as up to 20 relatives, so the lodge is meant for the couple's close family and friends. Other guests will need to book in the surrounding villages.
Catering
The farm does not impose a supplier. Caterers, DJs and photographers are chosen freely, and the owners can recommend partners they trust. Furniture comes with the hire.
History and setting
The farm is run by a family and sits in the Brie countryside, with green spaces, meadows and gardens. It is presented as an authentic rural setting rather than a historic monument.
Getting there
The address is route de Neufmoutiers, 77610 La Houssaye-en-Brie. The site says the farm is 45 minutes from Paris and has a closed car park. It does not name a station, so check the best route with the owners.
