La Ferme du Château hosts weddings, residential seminars, board meetings and private or company receptions for up to 220 guests seated and 300 standing. The estate can be booked in full, with a private chapel, reception rooms, enclosed gardens and gîtes for overnight guests. It lies in the hamlet of Basseilles in Tenneville, in the Belgian Ardennes, roughly halfway between Brussels and Luxembourg.
Seminars and company events
The farm takes residential seminars, conferences, training days, workshops, board meetings and team-building programs. The seminar room is equipped to each brief and can be arranged for meetings, plenary talks or workshop groups. Caterers handle coffee breaks, business lunches, buffets and gala dinners, and participants can stay overnight in the gîtes on site and nearby. The enclosed gardens serve for breaks and informal discussions in the open air. A private car park is reserved for guests. Past clients named on the site include a social housing agency that held its seminar here in 2023.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can book the whole estate and keep the full day on one site: a blessing or a secular ceremony in the private chapel or in the garden, a drinks reception indoors or outdoors, then dinner and dancing in the main hall. The venue also hosts birthdays, communions and company receptions. The site mentions winter weddings with the main hall kept above 20°C on a cold December evening.
Rooms and capacities
The main hall seats from 20 to 220 guests at round or rectangular tables and takes 300 for a standing reception. It has an oak roof frame, exposed stone walls, a crystal chandelier, dimmable lighting and an open fire, with a mezzanine above that works as a lounge or a children's corner. The cocktail room next door holds up to 300 for aperitifs and receptions. The chapel serves for ceremonies. The gardens are fully enclosed and planted with trees and flowers.
