Seminars and study days from 15 people, company parties and weddings for up to 180 guests at a cocktail or 90 seated can be organized at Ferme Saint Chrysole, a reception venue on the banks of the Deûle in Wambrechies, just north of Lille in the Nord department.
Seminars and company events
The venue runs a full business program: seminars and study days, company events, roadshows, conventions, and team building with outside partners. Day seminar packages start at 15 participants. The rooms are bright, fully equipped and easy to reach from the Lille ring road, and the venue supplies the equipment an event needs. A project manager follows each booking and can bring in qualified suppliers, and events can be themed around a company's identity or a specific brief. The 80-space private car park is an asset for teams arriving by car.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the other half of the business. Lay ceremonies take place in the inner courtyard, which also hosts the cocktail hour, with an indoor fallback if the weather turns. The venue helps couples find florists, decorators, DJs, photographers and cars through its network of partners. A tasting is organized in January of the wedding year, and setup, service, clearing and cleaning are handled by the team. Christenings, communions and private parties follow the same format. Visits are by appointment, Monday to Saturday.
Rooms and capacities
The venue has two modular reception rooms, one presented for seminars and one for weddings. It hosts up to 180 guests for a standing reception and 90 for a seated meal. Room surfaces and individual capacities are not published, so the layout for a given headcount is best discussed during a visit. The inner courtyard serves for ceremonies, cocktails and breaks in fine weather.
Catering
Catering is in-house only: the rooms are not rented without the venue's own food service. Chef Maxime Beauvois cooks simple, careful dishes from fresh, seasonal produce, and menus can be adapted to each event. Formats include cocktail receptions, seated meals, barbecues and food stations, which covers everything from a working lunch during a seminar to a full wedding dinner.
History and setting
The venue sits in a green setting along the Deûle, the river that runs from Lille through Wambrechies toward the Lys. Its position between open country and the edge of the Lille metropolitan area makes it a practical choice for companies based in Lille, Roubaix, Tourcoing or Marcq-en-Barœul that want a change of scene without a long drive.
Getting there
Ferme Saint Chrysole is at 1015 rue de Quesnoy in Wambrechies. By car, leave the Rocade Nord-Ouest at exit 10 (Comines / Quesnoy) and follow signs for Comines through four roundabouts; the farm is on the left, about 400 meters past the Match supermarket, at the Bihamel bus stop, down a tree-lined drive. The private car park holds 80 vehicles. The center of Lille is a short drive away, and Lille Airport at Lesquin serves the area.
